Miles & Monk at Newport was a combined album of a Miles Davis appearance at Newport with an appearance of Thelonious Monk, from the LP era. Despite the title, the two artists do not perform together on the LP, and they are represented on each side by separate live appearances at the Newport Jazz Festival.

This Columbia LP features Miles Davis’ Sextet (with John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley) and the Thelonious Monk Quartet (with Pee Wee Russell) at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival; their rapid version of “Ah Leu Cha” is thunderous and “Straight No Chaser” swings like mad. This set also includes three laid-back selections (“On Green Dolphin Street,” “Fran Dance,” and “Stella by Starlight”) from a slightly earlier studio date, along with a different version of “On Green Dolphin Street” from 1961. This classic music has since been reissued on CD.
