John Coltrane

This release contains the complete classic albums “Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane” and “Soultrane”, both of which received * * * * * in the Down Beat reviews. While the first LP presents a quintet showcasing Trane and Burrell (with the splendid Tommy Flanagan on piano), including a wonderful duet which opens our CD, the second has Trane in a quartet formal with Red Garland.

***** Down Beat Kenny Burrell & -John Coltrane "All in all, one of the best examples of jazz in the late '50s." Harvey Pekar

***** Down Beat Soultrane
"What I do admire in Coltrane is that he is always going for something beyond him, and that he never falls back on an easy or accepted way of doing what he wants to do. By all means hear this one." Dom Cerulli
