Experience the bluesy side of John Coltrane in his first — and only — studio session as leader for Blue Note records: Blue Train. Teaming up with trumpeter Lee Morgan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Coltrane wrote all but one of the compositions on the album — rare at the album's time of release — and described the album as one of his favorite recordings.
