The 1957 partnership that rewired both men: Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane, from the legendary Five Spot period - the residency that musicians of the era spoke about for the rest of their lives, when Trane went to school inside Monk's labyrinth and came out transformed. "Trinkle, Tinkle" alone is a complete lesson in how two geniuses learn each other's language: Monk's jagged architecture, Coltrane's cascading response, neither yielding an inch and both winning. The studio documentation of this meeting is precious precisely because there is so little of it. OJC edition of an absolutely essential record - affordable, honest, and always in demand.
