John Coltrane - Blue Train - Limited 180-Gram Blue Colored Vinyl with Bonus Track

Includes new specially prepared liner notes by PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ's writer BRIAN MORTON and by Paris' prestigious JAZZ MAGAZINE. All the qualities one associates with Coltrane - the iron-hard tone, the harmonicprecision and freedom, the often overlooked rhythmic elasticity - are already present here, but for the moment at least, the blues is still his basic language. This album marks John Coltrane's third recording as a leader. Though he had yet to realize many of the greatestachievements of his career, the fact that he established himself as an instrumentalist and as a composer so early and with such authority is a feat that few have accomplished.
