Live at the Jazz Workshop

Release history

The tapes of these two shows stayed locked away in the Columbia Records vault for almost 20 years, until the label released a double-LP from them shortly after Monk's death in 1982. A CD release followed in 2001, under the name of "Live at the Jazz Workshop - Complete", featuring a number of bonus tracks, and nearly doubling the length of the record.
