Monk wore many hats in the figurative sense: composer, pianist, bandleader, eccentric style icon and, for a brief moment, film scorer. According to Kelley, Monk wore this one nonstop, even in bed, during this period. Furthermore, he managed to complete the soundtrack in just three nights. A relieved Romano returned to Paris carrying the recordings in his briefcase.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses was the only film Monk would ever soundtrack. It was a troubled, exhausting time for Monk. In late 1958, the musician fell into a deep depression after an arrest on drug charges that included a vicious beating by cops. Monk lost his cabaret card, which meant he couldn't play in clubs. Worse, after being hired to score the adaptation of Les Liaisons, his legal problems made it impossible for him to travel to France, where the adaptation was being filmed in 1959.

"There's no future without the past and anybody who doesn't really understand where jazz has come from has no right to try to direct where it's going."
– Cannonball Adderley, Interviewed by the "Chicago SEED", November 1968.

"Joining Bird on this date was the then relatively unknown West Coast trumpeter Chet Baker. As with his idol, trumpeter Miles Davis, Baker had a softer, more melodic approach to playing bebop and the pairing struck some at the time as odd. However, Baker's appearances with Bird during this period helped launch his career and prefigured his later work with baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan and as an iconic solo artist."

Mr. Haynes is now 93, the only living member of the quartet that night. He still has memories of that performance. "It was beautiful, man," he said recently. "I was at a very young age. So I was enjoying it. Playing with great people." – There is no set list. It’s a fair bet that the Thelonious Monk composition "52nd Street Theme" was performed, but we can only speculate.

"He had such a big sound, as big as Charlie Parker's. Inside that sound was great capacity to talk in his music about the most basic feelings. He knew that level of language which very few musicians get down to." – Charles Mingus

"Overall, I think the main thing a musician would like to do is give to the listener the many wonderful things he knows of and senses in the universe. That's what I would like to do. I think that's one of the greatest things you can do in life, and we all try to do that in some way. The musician's is through his music."
