Discover new insights about jazz with enhanced liner notes written by the acclaimed jazz critic Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious jazz magazine.
All the qualities one associates with Coltrane — the iron-hard tone, the harmonic precision and freedom, the often overlooked rhythmic elasticity — are already present here, but for the moment at least, the blues is still his basic language. - PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ
This album marks John Coltrane’s third recording as a leader. Though he had yet to realize many of the greatest achievements of his career, the fact that he established himself as an instrumentalist and as a composer so early and with such authority is a feat that few have accomplished. - JAZZ MAGAZINE

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
