Join us for an unforgettable night of jazz as the Joe Gilman Quartet pays tribute to one of the most legendary collaborations in the history of the genre: *Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall*. This rare and historic performance—originally recorded live in November 1957—was stored away in the Library of Congress for decades before its stunning rediscovery and release in 2005. Newsweek hailed the album as the *"musical equivalent of the discovery of a new Mount Everest,"* and for good reason: it captures two titans of modern jazz at a creative crossroads, fusing Monk’s idiosyncratic compositional genius with Coltrane’s rapidly evolving, exploratory fire.Dr. Joe Gilman will guide the audience through Monk’s compositional and improvisational brilliance, offering deep insights into his innovative use of harmony, rhythm, and form. On tenor saxophone, Jacam Manricks will attempt to channel Coltrane’s iconic “Sheets of Sound” period with power and precision, bringing the 1957 magic back to life with fresh energy and reverence.
Don’t miss this chance to experience the music that reshaped the jazz landscape—live and in full force
