The 1975 Lincold Center concert presented here was Thelonious Monk’s last recorded performance ever, either live or in studio. Along with the 1972 Village Vanguard sets (his only preserved works with Dave Holland), these are also Monk’s last quartet recordings.

As a bonus, an unissued 1966 broadcast taped in Amiens, France, has been added. The 16-page booklet includes Monk’s amazing Down Beat blindfold test with Leonard Feather in its entirety.

All tracks previously unissued.
