    I am not smart enough to write a review for this amazing album. An amazing great album by Monk -- and a totally new one that it is a miracle we are able to hear as it has been hidden for so many years. If you like Monk at all, this will make you cry with happiness that you have the opportunity to hear this!

    The one drawback to Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960 is that, with the exception of “Light Blue”, its déjà vu nature makes it difficult to distinguish it from Thelonious Monk’s landmark albums.

    Six decades later, this 90 minute slab of previously unreleased Monk reveals some strikingly fresh angles on his working methodology. [May 2017, p.68]

    It’s typical Monk--angular, mercurial, introspective--played by his regular quartet of the time, plus French saxophonist Barney Wilen.
