I'm having trouble walking over minor 2nd's and making it interesting. For example, "Well,You Needn't" by Monk. What's the best approach to play over F to F#?

if the F# is diminished, substitute it for a D7.

An F# diminished chord would be the 3,5,7 and b9 of a D7 chord.

I should have said D7(b9) chord
