All known music from the legendary session reuniting Gerry Mulligan and Thelonious Monk. As a bonus, a long live version of "Now's the Time" recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1955, in which both musicians are also featured. The pianist seldom shared the bill with other stars (which could compromise his own musical individuality) or accepted playing second fiddle to anyone. But Monk is the leader on the vast majority of his recordings, and in a way he was also the leading voice on this meeting with Gerry Mulligan.
