Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane (1957)

Precious studio recordings (Riverside) of Thelonious Monk (piano) with John Coltrane (tenor saxophone). Thelonious Monk Quartet featuring John Coltrane, which inspired Coltrane's "Sheets of Sound", only recorded three studio tracks of this disc, "Ruby, My Dear", "Trinkle, Tinkle" and "Nutty". "Trinkle, Tinkle" is a tension-filled, great performance featuring Coltrane's blazing imprvisatons in Monk's mathematical, complicated music structure.
