The tempo jumps to 246 BPM for Monk's contrafact on I Got Rhythm changes, one of the fastest performances in the set. Lefkowitz-Brown leads with six choruses on tenor saxophone, Feifke follows with five on piano, and drummer Bryan Carter takes a featured drum solo spanning nearly three choruses that pushes the tempo past 257 BPM. The nearly ten-minute performance is the set's primary uptempo vehicle, with the familiar rhythm changes foundation providing a comfortable framework for high-speed improvisation. Monk blended the well-known chord progression with his own angular melodic sensibility, creating a piece that sounds both familiar and distinctly personal. Carter's drum solo marks one of his two featured spots across the entire tribute session. Coming after the minor-key opener Green Chimneys, the bright B-flat major tonality and rhythm changes harmonic motion provide a sharp contrast. The set then downshifts dramatically for the ballad 'Round Midnight.
