There’s not too much I love more than a nice warm spring breeze and jazz drifting around my home. This album, along with Kind of Blue, Ella and Louis Again, some Gershwin and Brubeck were the soundtrack for the past weekend. Lovely!
‘Blue Train’ is the best thing that could have possibly come out of Coltrane’s first attempt at leading and composing his own group. His later works such as ‘Giant Steps’ and ‘A Love Supreme’ may be well-known, but this album is on the same scale if not greater considering his inexperience as a leader and a composer. Its influence on jazz is extraordinary. This band’s and this album’s sound is different from most of jazz and revolutionary and the title track is commonly used as an audition piece. Highly recommended for anyone who even remotely likes jazz. I give this album a huge 5 stars.
