John Coltrane – Blue World (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded just months before the sessions that would yield *A Love Supreme*, these recordings capture the Classic Quartet at a pivotal moment, with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones locked into the kind of telepathic interplay that defined one of jazz's most celebrated lineups. The versions of "Naima" and "Village Blues" here are unlike anything in the official catalog, offering a rare window into how Coltrane reimagined his own compositions in real time.
In 1964, the National Film Board of Canada asked John Coltrane to record the soundtrack for a French-language film titled “Le chat dans le sac” (“The Cat in the Bag”). In June of that year, Coltrane’s ‘Classic Quartet’ entered Rudy Van Gelder’s studio and recorded five previously-recorded Coltrane originals. For many years, viewers of the film who recognized the music thought that they were listening to the original recordings, though in fact they were new and had never been heard.
