I know this has been out for a little over a year but I was late in peeping.Such a great album and it's mind-boggling that it sat in a box for nearly 50 years before someone found it and released it. Talk about "lost tapes".

Thats why I love Jazz, there will ALWAYS be something new to hear from the masters... for damn near forever I bet....
Unlike this one where they don't seem to be playing together in the same way.
I love this record. I almost listened to it this morning, but hit the wrong button on my ipod, was too packed on the L-train to switch it when I realized it, so listened to a Monk's greatest hits LP instead. It wasn't as good as the Carnegie Hall session.
Monk's brilliant, sparse, almost drunken, off-kilter playing with Coltrane's fast-sax gymnastics is so amazing to hear. It's one of the greatest jazz records I've ever listened to. Love.
been out a while now, but the Eric Dolphy "The Illinois Concert" is mighty fine
