Description
Limited edition 180g vinyl audiophile pressing, the complete album + 1 bonus track.
In addition to being members of Miles Davis' band, John Coltrane, Red Garland and Paul Chambers recorded several projects together without the trumpeter, Soultranebeing one of them. A superb quartet album featuring the three musicians along with drummer Art Taylor, album was recorded in between the two Miles Davis Sextet sessions that produced the album 'Milestones'.
Among the highlights are a lengthy reading of Tadd Dameron's 'Good Bait', and Trane's earliest and probably best version of Billy Eckstine's ballad 'I Want to Talk About You', which become a favourite in the saxophonist's live repertoire.

Description

THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 1 BONUS TRACK - 180g RED VINYL LIMITED EDITION, contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer BRIAN MORTON.
Soultrane: The year 1958 represented a transitional period in John Coltrane's musical career. He had first joined the Miles Davis Quintet in 1955 and would form his own celebrated quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones in 1960. In the intervening years, he began to expand on his own musical ideas while experimenting with both the Thelonious Monk Quartet and the Miles Davis Sextet (featuring Bill Evans and Cannonball Adderley). He also recorded studio sessions with other musicians and presented his own albums during this period. Among them were quartet sides, all of them featuring Red Garland on piano and Paul Chambers on bass. These quartets were, in many ways, the predecessors of the 1960 John Coltrane Quartet, and Soultrane, is a good example of this.
"What I do admire in Coltrane is that he is always going for something beyond him, and that he never falls back on an easy or accepted way of doing what he wants to do. By all means hear this one." - ***** Dom Cerulli, Down Beat:
