180 Gram Vinyl Cut from the Original Analog Masters by Bernie Grundman!
Trane uses the blues to explore the boundaries of jazz with McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones.
Recorded in 1960 along with "My Favorite Things", "Coltrane Plays the Blues" features "Blues To Bechet", "Blues To Elvin", and "Blues To You" in addition to three other tracks.
"The Coltrane Quartet, three-fourths complete at the time of this recording, had begun its historic rise and had also turned the corner in Coltrane's music, transitioning from the expressive verticality of Giant Steps to the more elongated, long-limbed lyricism that would define his role in the avant-garde. It can come as no surprise that to do so, he engaged the material he'd known longest and best - the blues." - Neil Tesser, author of The Playboy Guide To Jazz
