Free Music Notes for Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall
Free Music Review: Very Nice
Hit: 4 Stars
I've got a small but impressive jazz library, jazz has been a recent addition to my musical tastes. I'm not the biggest Coltrane fan, I prefer Cannonball Adderly and some others less inclined to go wailing away. I do not like Coltrane's A Love Supreme. Monk and Coltrane team up here with a very enjoyable performance. Excellent for background music or dedicated listening. The fidelity is superb, very high quality. Only negative is it's mono. Jazz fans will love this.Free Music Review: Pure
Hit: 5 Stars
It's funny what people find when they clean out closets. The people at Carngie Hall found a jewel and something unique and pure. A great addition to any jazz aficionado's collection. In reality a must have if you like jazz at all.Free Music Review: Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall

Free Music Review: A One-Of-A-Kind Concert
Hit: 5 Stars
I first learned about this Carnegie Hall performance by the Thelonious Monk Quartet and John Coltrane on NPR and immediately knew it was a disc worth buying. It is superbly engineered - especially if one considers the recording was made in 1957. It even more remarkable that such a fantastic concert was left in a box in the Library of Congress for over 40 years.
The 9 tracks are from two concert sessions with the 9th track incomplete. It was a high point for the Monk quartet as they had been playing for several weeks at the Five Spot and had a high level of confidence and freedom going into these sessions. John Coltrane was also reaching a personal best. His entrance in the first track - Monk's Mood - following a long piano solo by Thelonious Monk is dramatic and haunting. The disc contains Monk classics like Epistrophy, Evidence and Sweet and Lovely with each track seamlessly flowing into the next. A beautiful recording that begs to be played over and over.

I bought this as an addition to my John Coltrane collection, and not for the piano work of Thelonius Monk. I have enjoyed it a lot since it is so different from the rest of my collection. This is not a recording I listen to especially often, but should be a welcome addition to your jazz collection.CrescentLive At The Village Vanguard: The Master Takes
