John Coltrane- Coltrane Plays The Blues

Label: Atlantic Reissued 2017, Originally released 1962 Coltrane Plays the Blues is a thematic LP consisting of six tunes based on the Blues. 'Blues for Bechet', one of the two pieces on this album on which Trane plays the soprano sax, is obviously dedicated to the jazzman who brought this instrument to Jazz: Sidney Bechet. Pianist McCoy Tyner sits out on 'Blues to Bechet' and both takes of 'Blues to You', reducing the band to a trio on these tracks.  Track listing: Blues to Elvin  Blues to Bechet  Blues to You  Mr. Day  Mr. Syms  Mr. Knight  Blues to You [Alternate Take]
