Description:

Jazz Department Store" Campaign [Riverside] Universal Music, a treasure trove of jazz labels, is proud to present the ultimate new catalog series "Jazz Department Store". Each label has selected the very best recordings for this series! This is a rare joint recording from the period when these two jazz giants had a close relationship. The contrast between Monk, who speaks in a simple voice, and Coltrane, who responds with a flood of sound, is truly thrilling. Recorded in New York on April 16, June 26, and July 1957. Thelonious Monk (p), John Coltrane (ts), Ray Copeland (tp), Gigi Grice (as), Coleman Hawkins (ts), Wilbur Ware (b), Shadow Wilson, Art Blakey (ds)
