He is often regarded as one of the founders of bebop, and his compositions and improvisations are full of dissonant harmonies and angular melodic twists. His piano style combines a highly percussive attack with abrupt use of silence and dramatic pauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes Liaisons Dangereuses 1960 is a 2 CD set by Thelonious Monk on the Sam Records label, released in 2017, and it is a soundtrack recording.
