• The complete studio master takes by the Thelonious Monk Quartet and Septet featuring John Coltrane. Included, as a bonus, is the 13+ minute performance of “Blues For Tomorrow” from the same sessions (in which Monk sits out) and an outstanding alternate take of “Off Minor”.

• After returning from his trip to Philadelphia, in mid-1957, Coltrane accepted Monk’s offer and joined his band for a period of six months. They played at New York’s Five Spot Café in a quartet format, but their studio records are limited to what is included on this release.

• Although all the musicians play beautifully here, what is perhaps most interesting is the presence of tenor sax giants John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins playing in the same session.

• Personnel : Monk & Coltrane with : Coleman Hawkins, Gigi Gryce, Art Blakey, Ray Copeland, Wilbur Ware & Shadow Wilson. Total Time : 79:12 - 11 tracks, all recorded in 1957.
