John Coltrane brought a new sound and style to jazz, and he applies it in his own unique way to the standard material of the storehouse of American music gathered from Broadway, Hollywood, and Tin Pan Alley. With the excellent rhythm team of Red Garland, Paul Chambers (both of whom had done so many concert, club and recording dates with him) and Jimmy Cobb, and the Miles-directed flugehorn of Wilbur Harden. Trane puts his personal stamp on numbers not done that often: Henry Nemo’s “Don’t Take Your Love From Me” and Fred Ahlert’s “I’ll Get By,” and two more familiar yet still not overdone songs, Richard Rodger’s “Spring Is Here” adnd Bronislau Kaper’s “Inivation.” Recording enginneered by Rudy Van Gelder.
