The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings (2 CD)Amazon. com The 2005 release of Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall brought fresh attention to a brilliant musical partnership, though one of the least recorded. While the Monk Coltrane association lasted only a few months in 1957, it coincided with Monk's emergence as a major figure and with the first flowering of Coltrane's genius. This two CD set collects all of their studio meetings, including previously unreleased takes.
