Compiled posthumously regarding Coltrane's tenure with Prestige Records, the album stitched together unissued trio and quintet dates from 1957 and 1958. It is anchored by a sprawling, 14-minute pianoless rendition of Billy Strayhorn's title track, proving Coltrane's immense capability as an interpretive balladeer.
