Although never formally signed, an oral agreement between John
Coltrane and Blue Note Records founder Alfred Lion was indeed honored
on Blue Train -- Coltrane's only collection of sides as a principal
artist for the venerable label. The disc is packed solid with sonic
evidence of Coltrane's innate leadership abilities. He not only
addresses the tunes at hand, but also simultaneously reinvents himself
as a multifaceted interpreter of both hard bop as well as sensitive
balladry -- touching upon all forms in between. The personnel on Blue
Train is arguably as impressive as what they're playing. Joining
Coltrane (tenor sax) are Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller
(trombone), Kenny Drew (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe
Jones (drums). The triple horn arrangements incorporate an additional
sonic density that remains a trademark unique to both this band and
album. Of particular note is Fuller's even-toned trombone, which bops
throughout the title track as well as the frenetic "Moments Notice."
Other solos include Paul Chambers' subtly understated riffs on "Blue
Train" as well as the high energy and impact from contributions by Lee
Morgan and Kenny Drew during "Locomotion." The track likewise features
some brief but vital contributions from Philly Joe Jones -- whose
efforts throughout the record stand among his personal best. Of the
five sides that comprise the original Blue Train, the Jerome
Kern/Johnny Mercer ballad "I'm Old Fashioned" is the only cover tune
in the stack. In terms of unadulterated sentiment, this version is
arguably untouchable. Fuller's rich tones and Drew's tastefully
executed solos cleanly wrap around Jones' steadily languid rhythms.
This is sheer jazz nirvana.
Remastered in 2003 by Rudy Van Gelder. All transfers from the analog
tapes to digital were made at 24-bit resolution.
