Well, You Needn't

"Well, You Needn't" is a jazz standard composed by Thelonious Monk in 1944. According to Robin Kelley in his seminal biography Thelonious Monk: the Life and Times of an American Original, the title was inspired by a protégé of Monk's, the jazz singer Charlie Beamon: Monk wrote a song and told Beamon he was going to name it after him, to which Beamon apparently replied "Well, you need not".
