On September 15, 1957, John Coltrane went into Rudy Van Gelder’s living room studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, and recorded his first great masterpiece: Blue Train. It would be the legendary saxophonist’s sole album as a leader for Blue Note, a locomotive 5-track album fuelled by the bluesy title track that featured a dynamic 6-piece band with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.
To mark the 65th anniversary of the album’s recording, Blue Train is now released in this special edition as part of Blue Note’s acclaimed Tone Poet Audiophile Reissue Series. The release includes the the original album alongside a 2nd disc of alternate and incomplete takes (4 of which have never been released before), as well as the mono edition of the album on disc 3.
This new edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes.
