![]() ![]() ![]() Coltrane, who was on the rebound from kicking heroin that year, had a lot of trouble with Monk's devious compositions to begin with. The Carnegie Hall concert featured a raft of jazz stars - including the Monk/Coltrane quartet, with Monk on a good piano, and the recording quality immeasurably better than the Five Spot tapes. But in January this year, a Library of Congress official, Larry Appelbaum, came across some tapes labelled "sp.Event 11/29/57 Carnegie Jazz Concert No 1". Saxophone giant John Coltrane played with composing genius Monk for only six months in 1957, and the results were barely recorded except for some acoustically erratic live tapes from the pair's legendary five-month residency at New York's Five Spot Cafe. P recious old music keeps coming out of the woodwork - even music that nobody knew had been recorded until almost half a century later.
