Village Blues (John Coltrane) (LP 488 - 489)

John Coltrane Coltrane Plays The Blues (CD, Atlantic, 1962) ***** 

John Coltrane Blue World (CD, Impulse!, 2019) ****

Genre: Jazz 

Places I remember: Real Groovy Records; JB HiFi (Palmerston North)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Mr Day - CPTB

Gear costume: Naima (take 2) - Blue World

Active compensatory factors: These are two albums on the fringes of the John Coltrane canon. 

The blues album, made up from sessions for the My Favourite Things album, was issued on Atlantic after he'd left the label. So it's not something released with his approval. Never-the-less, it's five star genuis all the same!

And Blue World was only released last year. It features material created between the Crescent and A Love Supreme albums that was used in a film The Cat In The Bag (released in 1964 under its French title - Le Chat Dans Le Sac). 

Where do they all belong? That's it for the Coltrane section of my CD Jazz collection. I'm sure I'll be adding to it in time though.
