Blue Train by John Coltrane.
John Coltrane's "Blue Train" arrives here as part of the Blue Note 75th Anniversary series, a reissue program built to honor one of the most storied labels in jazz. This edition draws on a high definition remaster, sourced at either 24bit / 96kHz or 192kHz, bringing renewed clarity and depth to a session that has long stood among the essential documents of the hard bop era.
Recorded on September 15, 1957, the album unfolds across five performances that showcase Coltrane both as a composer and as a bandleader in full command of his voice. Side A opens with the title track, "Blue Train," followed by "Moment's Notice." Side B carries "Locomotion," the standard "I'm Old Fashioned," and closes with "Lazy Bird," rounding out a program that moves with momentum and swing from start to finish.
A note on the personnel worth savoring: John Coltrane performs here by courtesy of Prestige Records, while pianist Kenny Drew appears by courtesy of Riverside Records, a reminder of the label crossings that made these sessions possible in the golden age of the New York studios.
For collectors, there are meaningful details to look for. This particular pressing exists in a version whose lacquer was cut by MK & HL. Matrix codes are stamped for the first part, running from BE to A1/B3, with the remainder etched, a small detail that speaks to the care taken in preparing these plates.
Copies can also arrive with one of three different hype stickers, each a small piece of the reissue story. There is a blue "75 blue note / Back To Blue" sticker, a black "Back To Black" sticker, both of which include a voucher to freely download an MP3 version of the album, and a blue and white "Back To Jazz" sticker. Each edition was released with printed inner sleeves containing the "75 Years Blue Note" reissue catalogue, a fitting companion to a set that celebrates the label's history.
Issued with a ℗ 2013 and © 2014 Blue Note Records designation and made in the EU, this release brings a piece of 1957 into the present with modern mastering and thoughtful packaging. Whether you are drawn by the music itself or by the details that distinguish this anniversary pressing, "Blue Train" remains a cornerstone of any serious jazz collection, and this edition offers a rewarding way to hear it anew.
