Standard Coltrane

John Coltrane brought a new sound and style to jazz, and he applied 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 performed many concert, club, and recording dates with him), and Jimmy Cobb, and the Miles-directed flugelhorn 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 not overdone songs, Richard Rodgers’s “Spring Is Here” and Bronislau Kaper’s “Invitation.”
