      *Jazz fans will hopefully soon be able to discover something new from Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane again. During The Library of Congress announced yesterday the discovery of a previously unknown recording by the two jazz legends.

      The announcement came as the organization revealed this year’s additions to its National Recording Registry, including Astronaut Neil Armstrong's first words from the moon, speeches by President Wilson and Gen. Douglas MacArthur and songs by Al Jolson, Muddy Waters and Nirvana and other recordings set aside for special preservation.

     Unfortunately, the jazzy duet is not included in the latest additions to the registry. The find is expected to be introduced at a later date. The newly discovered performance by pianist Monk and saxophonist Coltrane at Carnegie Hall was never commercially recorded, the library representatives said.
