Milt Jackson & John Coltrane's Bags & Trane Reissued for the Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary Series on 180g 45RPM 2LP: Mastered by Ryan K. Smith and Pressed at QRP
Vibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session, their only joint recording. AllMusic notes that with fine backup by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Connie Kay, Bags and Trane stretch out on two of Jackson's originals (including "The Late Late Blues") and three standards: a romping "Three Little Words," "The Night We Called It a Day," and the rapid "Be-Bop." The highlight of the set is the eponymous opening track, which just oozes late-night cool.
Mastered by Ryan K. Smith, this deluxe 180-gram 45RPM 2LP reissue is pressed at QRP and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket.
