Product description

Immerse yourself in the world of jazz legend Thelonious Monk with the captivating album "Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960." This remarkable collection, released on June 16, 2017, by Sam Records, offers a unique blend of jazz, bebop, hard bop, and cool jazz, showcasing Monk's unparalleled talent and innovative spirit.

Originally recorded to accompany Roger Vadim's film adaptation of the 18th-century novel, this music has been hidden from the public for over half a century. Now, for the first time, you can experience the pristine studio recordings that capture Monk at the height of his playing prowess. The album features 16 tracks, including iconic pieces like "Rhythm-A-Ning," "Crepuscule With Nellie," and "Pannonica," spanning a total duration of 1 hour and 23 minutes.

The two-CD package is accompanied by an extensive booklet filled with insightful liner notes from Monk biographer Robin Kelley, Brian Priestley, and Alain Tercinet, providing a deeper understanding of the music and its historical context. The album's pristine sound quality, particularly the crisp piano tones, highlights Monk's exceptional skill and the joy he found in his playing during this period.

"Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960" is not just a collection of songs but a testament to Thelonious Monk's enduring legacy and his significant contributions to the world of jazz. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to his work, this album offers a compelling journey through the genius of one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time.

This is a 2017 Remastered released as a LP.

After a long night of hunting, I finally stumbled upon a copy for 66 € including shipping from NL to Germany. Fingers crossed that three music enthusiasts (there were three copies left after I checked out, so the stock must be updated automatically) spot this link before any resellers do: https://www.northendhaarlem.nl/a-47902881/record-store-day-2017/thelonious-monk-les-liaisons-dangereuses-1960-box-book/

Absolutely my top pick from RSD, it was worth standing in line at 3:30 AM for. A fantastic set, obviously assembled with lots of attention to detail. The music is even better. Strongly recommend if you can get your hands on it...but seriously, don't feed the flippers!!!!
