John Coltrane - Blue Train
Blue Train (1957) is John Coltrane’s only album as a leader for Blue Note Records and one of the most celebrated hard bop recordings in jazz history. Featuring an all-star quintet with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums, the record captures Coltrane at a pivotal moment—just before the “sheets of sound” style that would define his later work fully crystallized. The title track is a brooding, blues-based masterpiece that builds with intensity, while pieces like Moment’s Notice and Locomotion showcase Coltrane’s intricate harmonic ideas and relentless drive. Ballads like I’m Old Fashioned reveal his lyrical side, balancing the fiery improvisations. Blue Train stands as both a cornerstone of the hard bop era and a key milestone in Coltrane’s evolution toward his later groundbreaking explorations.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
