John Coltrane · 1958 · 1950s · Entry 229 of 272
Blue Train
Coltrane's only Blue Note date as a leader. Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones. The title track is a twelve-bar blues that re-defined what a saxophonist could do inside a form everyone already thought they understood.
