Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall captures everything that should have been recorded at the 5 Spot.It is astounding to hear Coltrane at once so much himself as and at the same time so completely in the thrall of Monk's music.Published 4 months ago by Richard W.Published 6 months ago by Todd M.Review intended only to discuss copy protection of this CD

This album, along with Monk "In Action" (recorded at the same time as "Misterioso") are Monk's best work.What live recordings should be, but rarely are.Misterioso into my CD player.This ablum is an excellent addition to any collection, Monk at The Five Spot sees heavy rotation in my collection.Check out the first track, Nutty.There are plenty of recordings Monk did before he discovered Charlie Rouse who became his partner for many years.Music You Should Hear: Artists' PicksWant to know what Norah Jones, Sting, and Il Divo are listening to?Greats from the Greatest
