Monk & Coltrane Live At Carnegie Hall

This morning there was no frost so I made the decision to drive to town. What a mistake. Tuesdays appears to be "walking dead" day and I really do dislike being surrounded by old people especially when they are shopping.
"Come along Henry. What exactly are you looking for?"
"I thought something light my dear. Something I could wear round the house."
"That's a good idea Henry. What about one of these sweaters?"
"Oh no dear, they're a bit too heavy for me."
They moved on to the next rack of sweaters. I went home.

Monk Quartet with John Coltrane

I've web ordered a recording of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957. The tape had been lost for 48 years and its release in September was described by the Village Voice as the jazz event of 2005.

The tapes from that evening at Carnegie Hall were inadequately labeled, filed away amongst the Voice of America’s vast collection of recordings, and apparently forgotten until January 2005 when Larry Appelbaum, a supervisor and jazz specialist at the Library of Congress, came upon them by chance during the routine process of digitally transferring the Library’s collection for preservation purposes.
