Let's Cool One
"Monk was performing with his Quartet at Monterey, and from one of the backstage porthole openings — circular cut-outs used to observe the performers — I had a telephoto lens focused directly on him. In one fleeting moment between tunes, he raised up one of his title compositions, allowing for what’s become a most-treasured shot. While it may appear otherwise, there was nothing concocted, nothing staged. For me, that one image captured what was so precious about the man…simply Monk and His Music."
