On CD it is just one disk, but it's a double LP. Another one I just listened to, this time on Sunday morning, is Shelly Manne at the Manne-Hole, any one of vols. 1-5. A series of live recordings, really beautiful. He's called "West Coast jazz."

Excellent intimate recording with that typical on the edge live feel and spontaneity Monk does par excellence. 2 CD set on Columbia. A staple for Monk fans and a should hear for the rest.
