Thelonious Monk - Unissued Live at Newport 1958 - 1959

For the first time ever, Thelonious Monk's complete trio performance at Newport 1958 (only an edited version of 'Blue Monk' with overdubbed announcements had been previously released on the film Jazz on a Summer's Day). This CD also contains Monk's splendid and also unissued quartet concert at the same festival the following year. As a bonus, the only two existing tracks featuring Monk with the Duke Ellington band, recorded at Newport '62 and also appearing here for the first time! In Crowd.
