This copy is pressed on azure blue vinyl, a limited edition marking the centennial of Coltrane's birth in September 1926.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Train was recorded on September 15, 1957 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, produced by Alfred Lion, and issued in January 1958. It is Coltrane's only album as a leader for Blue Note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe brought a sextet: Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. Four of the five pieces are Coltrane's own; \"I'm Old Fashioned\" is the Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer standard. The sleeve is Reid Miles's design over a Francis Wolff photograph, and the 2026 pressing keeps it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoment's Notice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Old Fashioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLazy Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeventeen John Coltrane titles at Evergreen Vinyl, this one included: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-settin-the-pace\"\u003eSettin' The Pace\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-soultrane\"\u003eSoultrane\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-lush-life\"\u003eLush Life\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-giant-steps\"\u003eGiant Steps\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-coltrane-jazz\"\u003eColtrane Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-my-favorite-things\"\u003eMy Favorite Things\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-impressions\"\u003eImpressions\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-untitled-original-11383-impressions\"\u003eUntitled Original 11383 \/ Impressions\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-birdland-1962\"\u003eBirdland 1962\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-a-love-supreme\"\u003eA Love Supreme\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-transition\"\u003eTransition\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-sun-ship\"\u003eSun Ship\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-meditations\"\u003eMeditations\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-1960-1964\"\u003e1960-1964\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-my-favorite-things-coltrane-at-newport\"\u003eMy Favorite Things: Coltrane At Newport\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/john-coltrane-chasing-trane-the-john-coltrane-documentary-original-soundtrack\"\u003eChasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199957966931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.18.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48226566701214,"sku":"199957966931","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/X3LPJC069.jpg?v=1789364694","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/john-coltrane-blue-train-blue-note-essential-vinyl-series","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
