This story was floated out there by the Monk estate after they found sheet music in Monk's hand. TS went so far as to reissue the tune with writing credit given solely to his father, which was really bogus. Thelonious Monk is not the one who is on record as having wrote it. All we have as fact is that Sonny Clark claimed writing credit on "A Fickle Sonance" and that Blue Note registered it for him. That's the sum total of the evidence we have of who wrote this. The fact that all of the principals are dead means that there is no way to determine if Monk actually wrote it, so it should stay as Clark's tune.

Going back to my comment from 9/2/21. Wayne also asked soneone who had the session if it was the session where Vitous bows a lot. He does. So Wayne did hear it? Cuscuna said the Jackie tape was lost. Sounds like that happened years ago. There are some Blue Note reels at Rutgers, complicated story. Could it be there?

I figured! This is one that has eluded even the secret society. I think the tape was lost before Belden was at Blue Note where he promptly copied everything and circulated it all to the secret society.
