Blue Train
Cover design by Reid Miles. Photo by Francis Wolff. Recording by Rudy Van Gelder. Notes by Robert Levin. Blue Note 1577. (1957) Coltrane’s only date as a leader for Blue Note and after A Love Supreme his best selling record. A highlight in Blue Note’s amazing catalog and for sure a “desert island disc”!
