Vinyl Reissue!
This November 1956 date marked the first recording of the deeply moving ballad "Soultrane," as well as the first exposition of the lovely line "On A Misty Night" (based on "September In the Rain"), a number Dameron would later explore himself in other contexts.
This is not a typical Tadd Dameron date in that his music is not played by a large ensemble or even a quintet. He is represented as a composer but not as an arranger; yet, his pungent themes come through strongly, carried by the searing, probing tenor saxophone of John Coltrane.
"Mating Call, or whatever title it sports, whether under Dameron's name or Coltrane's, is a solid and frequently overlooked gem. Don't hesitate to pick it up." -Steve Leggett, allmusic.com
