2 LP ON 1 CD Plus 1 BONUS TRACK

The two albums included here have something else in common other than Coltrane's presence and a close recording date: both present small groups (a quartet and a sextet) organized by a talented pianist who presents his own compositions: Tadd Dameron (1917-1965) and Tommy Flanagan (1930-2001).
