John Coltrane

• 60th ANNIVERSARY JOHN COLTRANE CHRONOLOGY 1958 RECORDINGS

• 76-PAGE BOOK WITH RARE PHOTOS

• 5 CD COLLECTION REMASTERED

Though it’s been 52 years since his tragic passing, John Coltrane’s importance and influence have never been greater. Though active for a relatively short period—from 1957 to ’67—he was an intrepid spirit who developed at a feverish pace. Coltrane’s breakout year, when his mature sound first grabbed ears and his own recordings began to sell consistently, was 1958. "Coltrane ’58: The Prestige Recordings", is a 5-CD box set that chronicles the exciting story session by session, featuring all 37 tracks Coltrane recorded as a leader or co-leader for the independent Prestige label in those twelve months. This collection captures him in creative high gear—developing the signature improvisational style that journalist Ira Gitler famously dubbed “sheets of sound.”
