I'm sure the title was chosen for its following directly after the opener, a straight rendition of "Abide With Me". I think it was the first Coltrane I heard too. Mustn't forget to mention the remarkable hi fidelity maintained throughout the LP for its date.
The wonderful 'Monk's Music' with Coltrane came quite a bit later.
Here's 'Bye-Ya' from 'Monk's Dream':

The first Monk album I bought (second hand) was "Monk plays Ellington" when I was 15 or 16 (1960). I still think its wonderful even though it was a Riverside "ease into Monk" project. The cover, at least on mine, is Henri Rousseau's "Repas d' Lion", which has its own charm. Rousseau painted "Africa" via the Paris botanical gardens!
