THELONIOUS MONK WITH JOHN COLTRANE: The Complete Riverside Recordings

For a brief, magical period in 1957, musical demi-gods Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane worked together every night as part of a quartet at the now-fabled Five Spot Cafe. Between April and July of that year, they made the stunning music presented here, their complete output in the recording studio. Two CDs.
