Blue Train

'Blue Train', which on paper might appear to be just another of the era's small-group dates, was something special. Originally recorded in 1957, it was quickly hailed as the first definitive recital by tenor sax player Coltrane, whose contributions to the bands of Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk had already made him the most important new voice of the period

'Blue Train' was re-mastered in 2003 by Rudy Van Gelder, all transfers from the analog tapes to digital were made at 24-bit resolution. This edition also contains two alternate takes as bonus tracks

John Coltrane - tenor saxophone; Lee Morgan, Trumpet; Curtis Fuller, trombone; Kenny Drew, piano; Paul Chambers, bass; Philly Joe Jones drums
