Larry Appelbaum
, the recording lab supervisor at the Library of Congress, came across this tape by accident while transferring the library's tape archive to digital. What a find. Forget the
Five Spot
recording that sounds like it was recorded inside of a tunnel from the far end. The sound here is wonderfully present and contemporary. More importantly, this band -- which also included drummer
Shadow Wilson
and bassist
Ahmed Abdul-Malik
-- had it right on November 29, 1957, at
Carnegie Hall
. The
John Coltrane
on this date is far more assured than he had been four months earlier on the
date and on the initial
Prestige
side
Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane
. He'd been with
Monk
for four months and had absorbed his complex, multivalent musical system completely. It's clear from the opening track,
"Monk's Mood,"
where the pair play in duet, that
Coltrane
is confident and moving into his own.

Live at the Five Spot
date in the dust. This is one of those "historic" recordings that becomes an instant classic and is one of the truly great finds in
