Trane's Reign [LP] (Clear Vinyl)

John Coltrane - Trane's Reign [LP] (Clear Vinyl)

Recorded in March 1958 and released a few years later on Prestige, this album sees John Coltrane, the young and future sax giant at the head of a quartet featuring two close partners from the Miles Davis band, pianist Red Garland and bassist Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor on drums. A super-tight, powerful backing band for Coltrane's early attempts to push the boundaries of the bop tradition. Trane's Reign consists of four long tracks including Jackie McClean's original ''Little Melonae.'' A perfect introduction to the early reign of John Coltrane. A1. I See Your Face Before Me A2. If There Is Someone Lovelier Than You B1. Little Melonae B2. Rise 'n Shine
