On September 15, 1957, John Coltrane went into Rudy Van Gelder’s Hackensack studio and created a 40-plus-minute masterwork that stands as one of the greatest jazz records of all time.
Blue Train is a pioneering five-song, blues-steeped, hard bop outing that exhilarates with pockets of brawn and poetry, excursions of ferocity and finesse, stretches of blazing velocity and soulful tenderness.
To mark the 65th anniversary of the album’s recording, Blue Train will be released as part of Blue Note’s acclaimed Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series.
This 1-LP is a mono pressing of the original album.
