...complex, yet somehow still infinitely listenable. It is a capability that sets him apart as a unique performer with more than a few great performances. So, when an engineer at the Library of Congress recently discovered a supposedly lost 1957 recording of the Thelonious Monk Quartet performing with tenor sax legend John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall, jazz fans were foaming at the mouth...
