Some accounts of the recordings devote more space to the horns than to the leader. So listen carefully to how humbly Coltrane plays on "Ruby My Dear". He was still an emerging artist, to be sure, but his command of the instrument was complete and he didn't usually play with this reserve. Hawkins, by contrast, is determined to make his presence felt. He even comes in at the wrong place a couple of times." "Playing Thelonious Monk's music is always a challenge. Even the greatest performers were frequently puzzled by his compositions. During the sessions that produced this album, now considered among the pianist's masterworks, Coleman Hawkins, the "inventor" of the tenor saxophone in jazz, and John Coltrane, one of Hawk's most celebrated disciples, tried to unravel the various secrets hidden in Monk's scores, to get as close as they could to the mysterious beauty of his music.
