Description

Rare JOHN COLTRANE, "Blue Train" Blue Note 1577 LP, with original blue note insert sleeve. Blue Note Records BLP 1577 (Mono). Blue and White, New York Label with "RVG" & Ear mark in Deadwax Trailing. EX+/EX-. This LP came from a collection once owned by local Seattle area Jazz DJ and like nearly all of his LPs was rarely played if at all! This is an enduring modern jazz masterpiece. Boasting volley after volley of smart soloing and intuitively swinging rhythm work, Blue Train is a joy, from the coolly precise ensemble entry on the opening title piece through the set's balance of elegant hard bop conversations and smooth downshifts into ballads. John Coltrane wrote four originals for the date, all of them now regarded as standards, and assembled a rhythm section including pianist Kenny Drew, Miles Davis's rhythm section of bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, and trumpeter Lee Morgan and trombonist Curtis Fuller, both recent Blue Note recruits. Coltrane's signature sound, now fully developed but still hewing more to familiar blues and chromatic harmonies than his later modalities, is confident and expansive, and his partners respond vividly throughout. Highly recommended for jazz aficionados. Really amazing album, another great find!

Side 1: Blue Train, Moment's Notice.
