Album Cover
Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane
At Reeves Sound Studios In New York City

Compil. 2010 on Doxy label
Jazz (Hard-Bop)

One of the few surviving recordings of one of the most memorable collaborations in the history of jazz. Monk and Coltrane’s partnership lasted for roughly a five-month period during which they played six nights a week at the legendary Five Spot club in NYC. They still somehow had time left over to hit the studio however, as this album proves. Recorded in studio during the spring and summer of 1957, this album showcases Monk and Coltrane, with a supporting cast that included the great Art Blakey and Coleman Hawkins, playing all of Monk’s classics.
