180gram black vinyl, High Quality

Rare stuff from John Coltrane recorded in 1957. The album features ‘Trane’ playing tenor on only 4 of the album’s 8 tracks – but the album is a lesser-known batch of large group recordings that offer an interesting early chapter in his career. The main force behind the album is arranger Harry Tubbs. Including performances by Donald Byrd and Art Farmer on trumpet, Kenny Burrell on guitar, among others. Coltrane gets in some nice, on titles that include ’She Didn’t Say Yes’, ‘Turtle Walk’, ‘At Home With The Blues’, ‘Seabreeze’ and ’Love & The Weather’.
