Mulligan Meets Monk

Album by Thelonious Monk & Gerry Mulligan

Mulligan Meets Monk is a studio album by pianist Thelonious Monk and baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, released in 1957. The record pairs Monk's angular, percussive piano with Mulligan's cool, linear baritone lines in jazz arrangements that bridge bop-rooted improvisation and West Coast cool sensibilities, placing it within both artists' mid-career explorations.
