Nice score, Quiet and Roscoe.  Thanks from here.

Roscoeiii put me on to this (actually he put it in my hands in the record store and said "a present") and damn was he right. This twofer contains all the recorded material Monk and Coltrane did together, and it sounds fantastic. A massive bargain and vinyl only (why I have no clue).

Nice score.  Those Prestige 2-fers are from the early '70s and are mostly compilations from '50s records and misc sessions. 
Monk had his cabaret card reinstated, and in 1957 did a 6 month gig at the Five Spot in NYC with Trane, Wilbur Ware and Shadow Wilson - the house band, can you imagine?  The only complete records that emerged from that time was studio sessions for Riverside and released on Jazzland - Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane (I have the OJC), and on Riverside - Theloneous Himself.  Trane was signed with Prestige and virtually none of that 6 mo gig, was recorded.  Another larger group with Trane was recorded and issued as Monk's Music.  A tape of a reunuon session with Trane sitting in for Johnny Griffin was later released on Blue Note.  In 2005 a Voice of America recording of the quartet was discovered.  This is the Carnegie Hall concert of 11/29/57, on Blue Note. 
After that stint with Monk, Trane joined the Miles Davis band and not long after, they recorded Kind of Blue.

There are a couple of Red Garland 2-fers in that Prestige 2400 series - highly recommended.  As is Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, Mingus, Miles, Jerry Mulligan and many many more.  The only possible downside is buying both the 2-fer and the single album and not realizing it's a duplicate. I just look at it as an abundance of riches.

QG,
Here are those albums on OJC - Original Jazz Classics re-issues, pressings starting from the '80s. They're consistently good.





Thelonious Himself is a solo album with one cut featuring the '57 group with Trane.

Alabama Shakes - Boys and Girls

Opening track, "Hold On" is a great, 'rootsy' rock tune.

I love this thread: you suggest one awesome album you're listening to, and you're rewarded with multiples in response. Thanks Neo.

This album isn't new except to me and it's got some seriously good, organic sound to it:

Brushfire Fairy Tales- Jack Johnson (Everloving Records)

Also, Paul:

I have the Columbia 360 and the British CBS pressings. The British sounds better to my ears.

We are having an early spring. This is the earliest I can remember the course being open on 18 permanent greens in several years.

Yea, yea, I know it's Madonna. Never really cared for her until this LP. That's when I realized if she sang music I liked, it made all the difference. She's certainly can sing. Besides, I've had a penchant for Italian-American women singers since Annette , and that includes, Cindy Lauper, Maria Muldaur, and God forgive me Lady Gaga.
