JOHN COLTRANE - BLUE TRAIN *Hybrid SACD*

John Coltrane Blue Train On Hybrid SACD 

Arguably one of the most influential titles from Coltrane and one of the greatest Blue Note releases ever. In 1957, right at the very start of his prestige recording period, Trane did this one-off set in New Jersey with Rudy Van Gelder and the results have gone down in history. Even though the story goes that it was never formally signed, an oral agreement between John Coltrane and Blue Note Records founder Alfred Lion was indeed honored on Blue Train, Coltrane's only collection of sides as a principal artist for Blue Note. Blue Train is packed solid with sonic evidence of Coltrane's innate leadership abilities. Not only does he address the tunes at hand, but also simultaneously reinvents himself as a multifaceted interpreter of hard bop and sensitive ballads. Joining Coltrane's tenor are Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Kenny Drew at the piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums.
