sztiv, if you haven't read robin d.g. kelley's excellent and very thorough biography of monk, i must recommend it highly. everything i hear or listen to regarding monk is improved for me by having read that book.

I love this question. A Blowing Session and Tenor Conclave were among the first jazz records I ever bought, and I had no idea who among the tenor players was doing what. i was just listening to Tenor Conclave the other day, and all I can say is that I'm happy they spell out who's soloing when in the liner notes otherwise I'd be lost, but then again I don't have as much exposure to jazz as y'all.
