Sonny Rollins and Thelonious Monk [Quartet] is a 10" LP by American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, performed by a quartet featuring Rollins and Monk. It was originally released in 1954 as the fifth of five 10" LPs featuring Monk for Prestige (PrLP 190). (The word "Quartet" appeared in the title only on the label.) Its contents were later split between the two 12-inch albums Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins and the Sonny Rollins album Moving Out. It has rarely been re-released in its original format, although it was included in a limited edition boxed set by Craft Records in 2017.[1][2][3][4]
