The record
The title names both men and the credits bear it out: Thelonious Monk at the piano, Sonny Rollins on tenor, Tommy Potter on bass, Art Taylor on drums. Three standards across a Prestige ten-inch, PrLP 190, mono. Ira Gitler wrote the notes; Bob Weinstock took the cover photograph. A short record with a lot of weight in it.
