Produced by Lee Kraft, these two 1957 sessions feature Coltrane in very different settings, both with Art Blakey : firstly, in a quintet with Donald Byrd, Walter Bishop Jn and Wendell Marshall; and secondly, in a 15-piece big band, full of top-notch musicians. There are several Coltrane compositions and he plays powerfully & confidently throughout.

This rare material, which was only previously available on limited Japanese issue, has been boosted by the inclusion of 7 Bonus Tracks and is all now 20-bit remastered.

Reviews

Jazz Rag - Greg Murphy

Coltrane, whose concise tenor solos are outstanding. The star of this show is Art Blakey, whose superb drumming is an object lesson.

Jazz Journal - Derek Ansell

A shouting, modern big band that swings all the way and has some inspired solos.
