BAGS AND TRANE

Reference: DIS-123126 The release presents the complete original classic 1959 album Bags & Trane (Atlantic SD 1368).
This was Coltrane's only collaboration as co-leader with Milt Jackson (their few others recordings together were made while both were part of the Dizzy Gillespie band in 1951). As a bonus to this album, which puts a strong accent on the blues, it is added two outstanding blues by Coltrane recorded in a piano-less trio with Earl May and Art Taylor (these were the only blues he ever taped in the studio in this format).

�Vibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session, their only joint recording. Fine backup by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Connie Kay. Enjoyable music.� Scott Yanow (All Music Guide)
