John Coltrane - Blue train (2022 Blue Note Tone Poet Reissue LP Vinyl)

Blue Train (1957) is John Coltrane’s only session as a leader for Blue Note — and one of the greatest hard bop albums ever recorded. With an all-star lineup featuring Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Kenny Drew (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums), the album captures Coltrane in full creative flight.

From the moody, unforgettable title track to the blistering swing of Locomotion and the lyrical ballad I’m Old Fashioned, every tune is a showcase of Coltrane’s evolving mastery. The blend of bold solos and tight ensemble work makes Blue Train both accessible and endlessly rewarding.

A cornerstone of any jazz collection, Blue Train is Coltrane at his most powerful, lyrical, and inspired.

Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
