I'm working on learning my own original called Mr Roulette. The inspiration was probably Monk, which I must have been listening to a lot back then. It was first recorded in 1972 released on Freddy Roulette's Sweet Funky Steel album (1973, Janus Records), and I've played it on and off on guitar, but this is my first try on alto. I happen to have a chart for Bb instruments that I think is fairly accurate. I still am not playing the head exactly right. This is just a blues with a bIII instead of the IV chord and a modified turnaround.
I would be really happy if any of you played this tune on a saxophone. Maybe it would help me learn it!
EDIT: New take, closer to the actual melody
