I'm relaying this story I got from MKWillis who has a blog at http://neverendingrainbow.blogspot.com. I'm glad he found this story.
Larry Appelbaum, a jazz specialist at the Libary of Congress discovered some recordings of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane performing at Carnegie Hall in 1957 that were never broadcast. Blue Note Records is supposed to be releasing them.
Read the full story here and don't miss the samples of the recordings on the left.
