Description
John Coltrane's classic 1962 LP 'Coltrane' plus 2 bonus tracks pressed on 180g green vinyl, incudes a unique sticker.

Overlooked on its original release, 'Coltrane' has since been regarded by as a major recording in the saxophonist's discography. Featuring the classic quartet and produced by Bob Thiele for Impulse, this special edition has two bonus tracks from the same sessions not included on the original LP: 'Impressions' and 'Up 'Gainst The Wall'.

Description

'Coltrane' is John Coltrane's debut album as a leader, the session occurred just after his period with Miles Davis. Earlier in 1957, Coltrane had been fired by Davis (in April) over drug-related problems, then spent time in Philadelphia dealing with those issues. Musically, though his mature, iconic style was still developing, you can see him stretching: a real work with complex standards and original compositions, experimenting with phrasing and the form.
Released in October 1957 (recorded May 31, 1957 at Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey) the album didn't make a major splash on release, Coltrane was still mostly known as Miles Davis's sideman and briefly as a member of Thelonious Monk's quartet. Prestige Records wasn't promoting him heavily; they were more focused on Miles, Rollins, and others. But what critics called the "first glimpse" of Coltrane it beacame an important document of his emerging sound, especially his work with harmony, phrasing, and the "sheets of sound" style that he'd refine later. A mix of tradition and forward-looking impulses it gives us the early seeds of the Coltrane sound: intensity, harmonic exploration, spiritual searching.
Also featuring Johnny Splawn, Sahib Shihab, Red Garland, Mal Waldron, Paul Chambers and Albert Heath.
