Coltrane Jazz

by John Coltrane

Recorded primarily in late 1959, this Atlantic Records release effectively captures Coltrane transitioning from his intense, chord-stacking hard bop period toward open modal exploration. It notably features alternate backing from Miles Davis's rhythm section and acts as a direct harmonic precursor to 'Giant Steps'.
