Live at the Jazz Workshop is a live album by jazz musician Thelonious Monk, recorded during two shows at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco in 1964 and first released in 1982, by Columbia Records.

Release history

The tapes of these two shows stayed locked away in the Columbia Records vault for almost 20 years, until the label released a double-LP from them shortly after Monk's death in 1982. A CD release followed in 2001, under the name of "Live at the Jazz Workshop - Complete", featuring a number of bonus tracks, and nearly doubling the length of the record.
