JOHN COLTRANE STATED IN A 1960 RADIO
INTERVIEW THAT THE ALBUM BLUE TRAIN
WAS HIS FAVORITE RECORDING FROM HIS
DISCOGRAPHY.
This release includes the complete album
Blue Train, plus four bonus tracks showcasing Coltrane's genius on several sessions from the same period and with similar personnel.
Includes 16-page comprehensive booklet!
"John was taking music another direction. You
know, it wasn't just rhythm changes anymore,
it was completely different. I made a comment
on a record date: 'John, you put this music on
us on a moment's notice. We got three hours to
rehearse this music and we're gonna record?'
And that became the title of the song. He wrote
"Moment's Notice." It wasn't trombone-friendly
at the time, and I walked up to him and told him
once 'John, I'm uncomfortable, you know.' He
said, 'Oh, you played it. I heard you, the way
you played it.'" - Curtis Fuller
