John Coltrane was the most revolutionary and influential tenor saxophonists in modern jazz. His big break occurred in September 1955, when the celebrated trumpeter Miles Davis called him to join his new quintet. He worked with Miles on and off until 1960, when he formed his own quartet with McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums. Besides achieving a very personal and characteristic sound, Coltrane opened the way to free jazz. This selection presents some of his greatest works, including such classics as “Blue Train”, “Giant Steps” and “Naima”.
