Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane - Blue Monk

[ddonohue]

Wow. This is amazing. Such style and feeling in this. One of my favourite T-monk songs just got even better!

[rahaji215]

I was watching mo'better blues today and it sparked my interest in these cats and all the greats that pulled this thing called jazz from their souls.

[Sax4everandalways]

Beautiful! Can't believe my friends asked me today "Who's Coltrane?" I had to smack 'em!

[jabbour90]

@Sax4everandalways .......you need to find new friends man, those aren't the kind of people you want to be around

[MegaJdotson]

the SQ of this stream on youtube alone is great. i can't imagine what the 200g vinyl sounds like.

[brabazon10]

what brilliant music-making; both Monk and Coltrane were so creative.

[baakanbi]

how do we know this isn't a fake? I mean come on...they conveniently discover an album of this magnitude all of a sudden? it sounds great don't get me wrong but with all the technology today it could have easily been put together by some very talented people. I'm sure it runs through the minds of everyone who listens to this album

[MrCornbeeflover]

@baakanbi Nahhhhhh. Just listen man. You can TELL that's 'Trane. You can TELL that's Monk. The soul of it.

[MrNebelful]

as good as bird and dizzie

[atombomb31458]

@MrNebelful

right on-some combos are magic- monk and coltrane have the magic like bird and dizzie

[TiLouTheKid]

I'm sure that Monk jizz in his pants during Coltrane's solo.

[JazzmanBerlin]

Thank you Praguedive

[eacmusic]

It is important to mention the personal of this recording:

Wilbure Ware (bass)

Shadow Wilson (drums)

Coltrane (tenor sax)

Monk (piano)

[tadd1]

@eacmusic It's equally important for commenters to list the CORRECT personnel.

It's Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass. Peace.

[Angod]

[81gianc]

MERAVIGLIOSO

[ZackPomerleau]

@81gianc What does that mean?

[81gianc]

@ZackPomerleau ahahah...it means WONDERFUL in Italian...

;-)))

[ZackPomerleau]

[greencouch18]

>> hats off to Praguedive for posting so many tracks off it

Ditto!

[Blackgeoff1]

The unearthing of this recording of these guys at Carnegie has to be the archiological discovery of the century. I bought the cd as soon as I heard of its existence - hats off to Praguedive for posting so many tracks off it

[ZackPomerleau]

@Blackgeoff1 I'd say one of the most important recordings found was the Benny Goodman recording at Carnegie, but this is pretty awesome, too!!!
