Without a doubt, this is a must-have in every jazz collection. John Coltrane influenced almost every jazz saxophone player on the planet and this is one of his key albums. Pure hard bop, copied often, but this is the real thing.. Here's the whole album:
Many young jazz players think that it was all recorded at once which might be true, but they forget that extensive touring preceded the recordings They might not have been rehearsing so much but when playing together for months every day they were shaping their band sound and getting to know each other's reflexes and musical language. To me this album is a great example of acoustic jazz with a playful rhythm section and storytelling soloists. I love Lee Morgan's trumpet solos. A true gem from the fifties.
