John Coltrane,COLTRANE,1957,Prestige 7105 torrent

Before Coltrane became a legend he recorded recognizeable standards on albums

formulated to sell to the general (albeit jazz-loving) public. "The sound" is

already there but none of the tunes would exceed 10 minutes in length as far as I've

noticed.


This album was Coltrane's FIRST AS LEADER. I love this old stuff. Sahib Shihab's

baritone adds extra "meat" to some of these tracks. Johnnie Splawn fills out

the front line on trumpet.
