John Coltrane joins forces with Thelonious Monk in this live set from 1957 whose master was lost for almost fifty years. Coltrane plays over Monk’s incredibly complex compositions confidently and Monk plays off him in rare style — two giants of jazz having a riveting conversation, making this recording absolutely essential.

Grade: A++.

AllMusic: Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane — At Carnegie Hall.
