This collection is an almost complete anthology of the work of Monk and Coltrane, who only recorded together in the studio during 1957. The set draws from tracks recorded for Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane, Monk's Music and a trio track from Thelonious Himself.

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall and Discovery! are the only other recordings documenting Monk and Coltrane's work together.
