Charley Parker was one cool dude; Miles said that even when he was shabby and broke, he had that look that said he had it, and he knew he had it; the music and the sound.

"Old School" is sure sounding good this evening; it makes me feel better just listening to it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzkfSx4Wgk0 |
Re "Les Liasons Dangereuses": The music in O-10’s link is not music by Monk nor the "film soundtrack" for the movie. On that link is some of the music composed by Duke Jordan for only the party scene in the movie. Little of that music was actually used for the film. This and the unused music was released as an album with Duke Jordan credited as the leader. The music for the party scene was essentially a "Jazz Messengers" session and compounding the confusion is the fact that it is not Duke Jordan playing piano, but Bobby Timmons instead. That very same music was also released as an Art Blakey Jazz Messengers record; but the same tunes were given different titles (!?!?). https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUJ7V33M1wR0kn82R1Xp6WwvZ47aK-2BP Monk did record the soundtrack and performed, as Pryso points out, mostly non-original compositions. This music, the actual soundtrack to the movie, was never released as a record and can be heard only in the film. From the very first piano notes heard on the film it is obvious that it is Monk: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EvsIDDKr7cs |
