At Carnegie Hall is a much acclaimed live album by The Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane. It was recorded on November 29th, 1957. The tape was stored at the Library of Congress where it sat, untouched, until 2005 when it was discovered by recording lab supervisor Larry Applebaum. This same fate occurred to other Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane recordings such as The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings. The recording was then restored by producer Michael Cuscuna and T.S. Monk (Thelonious Monk's son).
The recording has been highly praised: Newsweek called it the "musical equivalent of the discovery of a new Mount Everest," and Amazon.com editorial reviewer Lloyd Sachs called it "the ultimate definition of a classic". Soon after its release, it became the #1 best selling music recording on Amazon.com.
