Genre: Jazz
Places I remember: Marbecks Records (Auckland)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Locomotion (Trane/train - see what he did there?)
Gear costume: Blue Train
Active compensatory factors: Coltrane’s only album on the famous Blue Note label was his self-proclaimed favourite album up to 1960.
It's a varied hard bop affair with Lee Morgan, on trumpet, Kenny Drew, piano, and Curtis Fuller, on trombone, joining the rythym section (Paul Chambers, bass, 'Philly' Joe Jones, drums), to provide additional colour to Coltrane's masterful tenor sax.
Overall, it's hard to argue with the sleeve notes that highlight the 'free, but not disorganized, blowing mood that has everyone in exceptional form both individually and collectively'.
Where do they all belong? Coltrane
would next take a giant step in 1959.
