Blue Is The Colour

Blue Trane by John Coltrane. Coltrane in a sextet setting, just as he is beginning to cut loose. The other five players ( Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones ) are playing consumate post bop jazz in a hard swinging setting. But whenever Coltrane's solo comes around, the music moves off into another whole sphere altogether giving a glimpse of the fire to come. Interesting how Kind of Blue ( to come later )evolved into the jazz album that non jazz fans have, whereas Blue Trane remains more in the realm of the jazzer. Guess Miles was more marketable and also hung around with us longer.
