Description
While John Coltrane first gained attention for his revolutionary sheets of sound technique, it was the deep spirituality of his music that really made his recordings as a bandleader such classics. The albums this giant of music recorded for Atlantic in 1959 and 1960 really represent the heart of his legacy.
John Coltranes life will be the subject of a new documentary (tentative title: Chasin Trane), out later this year, and now, for the first time since their original release, this box set gathers his mono recordings from the Atlantic vaults.
Packaged in an elegant cloth-bound box.
