One of Trane’s last session for the Prestige label, and another one that fell under heavy criticism from jazz purists, although nowadays, those naysayers probably herald Bahia as a masterpiece avant-la-lettre.

Bahia sounds pretty standard and normal, and may even appear as quite conservative, if one doesn’t take into account its date of release. The album is made of two sessions in the second half of 58, but more than five months apart.

Indeed, Bahia is still somewhat between bebop, hardbop, cool and standard jazz. But many older jazzheads consider it a classic.


Straight, no Chaser.
