1961 Album Reissued on Vinyl!
Recorded in 1958, this session comes from a time when Coltrane had already played in the Miles Davis quintet and the Thelonious Monk quartet, and was frequenting Rudy Van Gelder's New Jersey studio in recording sessions backed by the Red Garland Trio. This threesomeGarland, Paul Chambers, and Arthur Taylorwas a Prestige entity on its own, but had already released such albums with Coltrane as Traneing In and Soultrane. Settin' the Pace, with its heady combination of seldom-done pop material and Jackie McLean's intriguing "Little Melonae," continued the excellent quartet series at a time when Trane was making jazz history at the head of yet another powerful foursome.
Originally released in 1961 on Prestige Records, "Settin' the Pace" was assembled from unissued results of a single recording session at the studio of Rudy Van Gelder in 1958. The material found here includes extended interpretations of three popular songs not played by jazz musicians before.
"Anyone who likes the mainstream jazz of the '50s, or Miles' music of that time, or Coltrane fans who want to hear their idol in an easygoing context, should pick this up." -Rovi Staff, allmusic.com
