Monk and Coltrane - Rediscovered!

The discovery of lost recordings of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane is equivalent to finding the mythical city of Atlantis. Both musicians were geniuses of jazz, and forever changed the respective music of the piano and saxophone. This week Blue Note released Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane- At Carnegie Hall. The recordings were made in 1957, and were lost at the Library of Congress, but were luckily for us discovered earlier this year. There were not many recordings of Coltrane and Monk together, two of the most influential musicians in jazz, so this new find is a particular joy. Click here to experience a bit of jazz history.
