Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2025, this edition of Mulligan Meets Monk presents the rare mono mix of the classic 1957 album, originally issued on Riverside Records. A landmark collaboration between baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan and pianist Thelonious Monk, the session captures the bold, contrasting styles of two jazz greats in perfect dialogue.

This RSD 2025 release features lacquers cut directly from the original analog tapes (AAA) by renowned engineer Kevin Gray, delivering a warm, authentic sound true to the original recording. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI and housed in a high-quality Stoughton tip-on jacket, this edition offers both audiophile fidelity and premium packaging. With standout performances on “‘Round Midnight,” “Rhythm-A-Ning,” and “Straight, No Chaser,” this is an essential reissue for collectors and jazz fans alike.
