Contrast in styles. Historically significant if the opening credits are accurate.

True. Nothing unites like a common enemy.I'm still waiting for the Claude Delangle with Ornette Coleman CD which will truly unite the saxophone world.
Many reading the comments reminds me why I don't normally read the comments. Yo momma indeed...For some almost uncomfortable contrast, Scott Hamilton and Wayne Shorter.

I think Coltrane does a better job of fitting in out of his element than Hamilton does.
Interesting. What went through my head when I read this how Getz might do with Monk at the piano (I hope people on this site will excuse my sense of humor - it does not traffic well in cyberspace).What jumps out at me as I listen to the Hackensack (or Rifftide) video is that Trane is having to play his way around Oscar Peterson. OP comps in the same places that Trane places the phrases that he uses to get traction, or to gain momentum in his solo statements. So it seems to me that Oscar is in Tranes way. Conversely, Getz uses a more conventional pattern of placing his phrases, so he's more comfortable with Oscars way of comping. Had Wynton Kelly stayed in the piano chair (Oscar gets him up at the top of this), Trane's job on this tune would've been much easier.
But even with the redundancy, Trane plays royally on this.
