Thelonious Monk - Well You Needn’t [Alternate take] (1947)

From a Michael Cuscuna interview:

The greatest finds were the Monk material, especially the alternate take of “Well You Needn’t.” If that had been chosen as the master take, nobody ever would’ve played it because the way he plays the melody is so much more complex. It’s just brilliant and exciting.

…. Holy shit…
