Description
Just after John Coltrane left Thelonious Monk and before the arrival of Charlie Rouse, Thelonious Monk formed a quartet with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, which played at the Five Spot in New York during 1958. Half of this music was issued on two albums: 'In Action' (Riverside RLP-1190) and 'Misterioso'(Riverside RLP-1133).
This special 2CD edition contains all known music from that gig plus a rare bonus track, 'Coming On The Hudson', also featuring Johnny Griffin.
Thelonious Monk: piano
Johnny Griffin: tenor saxophone
Ahmed-Abdul Malik: bass
Roy Haynes: drums
Live at the Five Spot, New York, August 7 & July 9, 1958. Original sessions produced by Orrin Keepnews.
