Coltrane [Prestige]
Date of Release May 31, 1957
Styles Hard Bop

This CD reissue brings back the music originally released as First Trane. The classic of the set is the emotional and eerie "While My Lady Sleeps" but all six selections (including "Violets for Your Furs") are notable for tenor saxophonist John Coltrane's passionate solos. This was his first full session as a leader (as opposed to heading jam-session dates) and it also features either Mal Waldron or Red Garland on piano, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Al "Tootie" Heath and on some numbers trumpeter Johnny Splawn and baritonist Sahib Shihab. As with 'Trane's other Prestige sessions, this valuable music is also available in his huge box set; recommended in one form or another. - Scott Yanow

Bahia
Artist John Coltrane with Red Garland and Paul Chambers
Date of Release May 17, 1957 - Dec 26, 1958
Styles Hard Bop

This two-LP set matches together the very different sounding tenors of John Coltrane and Paul Quinichette in a jam-session type setting from 1957 (although three of the five songs were actually composed by pianist Mal Waldron) in addition to Coltrane's final Prestige date, which also has appearances by the trumpeters Freddie Hubbard (on "Then I'll Be Tired of You") and an uncredited Wilbur Harden ("Something I Dreamed Last Night"). This is nice if not overly memorable music. - Scott Yanow
