- Taking the cover for Thelonious Monk's album which features Shuffle Boil and modifying it for the cover of Laurent De Wilde's version.
- Experimenting more with bitmapping and overlaying, creating interesting colour combinations and compositions due to the extreme cropping.
- Some of the compositions are random and I like this because it links to the importance of improvisation in Jazz.
- However, the third is loosely based on rules from the dance the Charleston (two back, two forward) and this creates a more structured and complex composition.
- The Charleston is relevant because the Jazz made dance halls popular and pushed dances like the Charleston into the mainstream. Monk was also well know for getting up in the middle of performances to dance (badly).
