Adhering to the hard bop of the era that molded his playing style in the 50's, John Coltrane put out an absolute staple of the genre and one of his best albums in Blue Train. Utilizing the already tried and tested rhythm section of Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, a pair of steady hands in pianist Kenny Drew, and a top-notch horn section in Coltrane, Lee Morgan, and Curt Fuller on the tenor sax, trumpet, and trombone respectively, the personnel on the album are excellent. The songwriting, done entirely by Coltrane save for the slower-paced "I'm Old Fashioned", is quite wonderful, with many great solos and incredible interplay between the horns. The title-track is one of those jazz songs that you've definitely heard before even if you're just only a little familiar with jazz, undoubtedly due to its unmistakable intro/outro. Altogether, if you're looking for a way to get into the hard bop style of jazz, Blue Train may be the best album for the job.

Already on his second album, Coltrane shows a tremendous amount of soloing skill, but also very mature compositional abilities. The man absolutely steals the spotlight compared to his soloist peers, even if both Morgan and Drew do a great job on the trumpet and piano respectively. My fav album of the 50s

Early Trane was so playful. His hard bop derivativeness was apparently evident, but who cares when it slaps so hard?

Probably the greatest jazz album you'll ever listen to. Almost a Classic on first listen r(and I'm not typically a jazz listener!). I'll have check out the rest of his discography rto see how this stands up in comparison. 4.4/5
