5.0 out of 5 stars This BLUE TRAIN does not stop., 5 Feb 2006
By Mr. Rgs Draycott "whiskydrinker" (penzance) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
With BLUE TRAIN, John Coltrane not only firmly established his own voice on the tenor saxophone, but also proved his abilities as a bandleader and composer. The musicians on BLUE TRAIN, hand-picked by Coltrane himself, play superbly not only as individuals, which is to be expected of players of such high caliber, but also as a cohesive unit--a rare occurence in an era where "all-star" bands would come together for one session, then disband just as quickly.Coltrane burns through the opening blues, igniting the rhythm section with rapid flurries of notes and reaffirming his absolute mastery of both sound and medium. At this stage of his career, Trane was still occupied with blowing over increasingly challenging chord changes. His ideas flow, flawlessly executed, logically developed and easily accessible. His unique tone can be warm and sweet or sharp and insistent, but is always amazingly expressive. Coltrane packs more emotion into one phrase than most arists are capable of in a whole tune. And with BLUE TRAIN's token ballad, "I'm Old Fashioned," he proves that he can speak volumes without being wordy.Two of his compositions, "Moment's Notice" and "Lazy Bird," contain some of the seeds of harmonic exploration to be found in his later work. Moreover, they provide outstanding platforms, inspiring vigorous performances from the stellar band. Nineteen-year old Lee Morgan spins nice bop lines in a juicy, warm tone, belying his age with his extraordinary playing. And with the support of "Philly" Joe Jones on drums and bassist Paul Chambers (who gives an impressive bowed solo on the up-tempo "Moment's Notice"), this BLUE TRAIN does not stop.

Personnel: John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Lee Morgan (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Kenny Drew (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums).Recorded at Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on September 15, 1957.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable, 23 Nov 2004
I put this album in my CD player, and just couldn't believe my ears, from the word go it just clicks. It has to be said that my favorite 'Trane album has to be A Love Supreme, but if your into that 50's loose Jazz you can't go far wrong with this album. One thing that i really thought was great was the fact that all of the musicians on the recording have solo's on it on most if not all the tracks. This gives a great Spontaneity to the sound that's produced, a real smoky Jazz club feel!This is a must for the Discerning Jazz Fan!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best £3.33 you could ever spend, 12 Jan 2005
By Liam Cahill "LiamDC2" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Classic, must-have jazz cd for your collection. Cool, classy, melodic and beautifully abstract. A serious juxtaposition to the cool and the work of the late and great miles davis.

it's hard not to like these tunes - there is a good mix of fast hard bepop with exciting twists and turns, as well as a beautifully-played ballad

4.0 out of 5 stars King of chill
This kind of jazz isn't always what's called for, but sometimes there's nothing quite like it.

"I'm Old Fashioned" is a perfect post-coital song. Where's my single malt?
