Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Wilbur Base e Shadow Wilson


With the Riverside sessions of July 1957, Monk and Trane delivered one of the seminal recordings in all of jazz. The sessions took place at Reeves Sound Studios in New York City.
Riverside recently released a two-disc set of The Complete Riverside Recordings of Monk and Trane, from April to July 1957. It is essential listening.
The lineup on "Ruby, My Dear" was Thelonious Monk (piano), John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Wilbur Ware (bass) and Shadow Wilson (drums). One of the most memorable collaborations in all of jazz history.
