It comprises recordings from sessions for Blue Note andUnited Artists Recordswith Coltrane as asidemanforPaul Chambers,Sonny Clark,Johnny Griffin, andCecil Taylor. These recordings were issued respectively on theirWhims of Chambers,Sonny’s Crib,A Blowin’ Session, andHard Driving Jazzalbums. Two selections are from Coltrane’s own 1957Blue Train, and “One and Four” had been previously unissued. “Trane’s Blues” had been issued on the compilationHigh Stepin 1975, previously known as “John Paul Jones” and named after himself, the bass player Chambers, and the drummerPhilly Joe Jones.[1]LikePrestige Recordsbefore them, as Coltrane’s fame grew long after he had stopped recording for the label, Blue Note used varied recordings, often those where Coltrane had been merely a sideman, and reissued them as a new album with Coltrane’s name prominently displayed. In this case, theBig FourconglomerateEMIcontinued that earlier practice.
