Ce produit n'est plus en stock
This 7-CD box set features every track John Coltrane recorded for Atlantic Records, spanning January 15, 1959 to May 25, 1961. Including songs sequenced by recording date. It also includes a 72-page book-let with liner notes, interviews and remembrances of John Coltrane by Lewis Porter, Jimmy Heath, Yusef Lateef and Charles Lloyd.
After his tenure in the great mid-'50s Miles Davis group, Coltrane was ready to strike out on his own. Although he had recorded several records on the smaller Prestige label, Coltrane's first major label association was with Ahmet Ertegun's Atlantic Records. Now all of 'Trane's pioneering Atlantic recordings are compiled in one huge 7-disc set entitled "The Heavyweight Champion".
As the content attests, this title is a fitting analogy. Starting with the early recordings with Milt Jackson for the 'Bags & Trane' album, the set chronologically follows Coltrane's work through the groundbreaking 'Giant Steps' sessions and beyond. Many alternate takes are sprinkled throughout amidst familiar album tracks from the likes of 'Coltrane Jazz', 'Coltrane Plays the Blues' and the magnificent 'My Favorite Things', giving a picture of the saxophonist's intense creativity at this period. This set is a powerful document of one of the most significant artists of the modern era in his prime.
