Artist:
John Coltrane
Title:
The Complete Mainstream 1958 Sessions



Details:
These famous 1958 recordings led by trumpeter / flugelhornist Wilbur Harden have been issued many times over the years often under the name of the sessions' star John Coltrane. But rarely have all nineteen tracks including the 6 alternate takes been released together in a double CD set as they are here on this new Lone Hill edition. Coltrane is strong And fluent throughout the 3 sessions supported by Tommy Flanagan bassist Doug Watkins & Louis Hayes on the first; Curtis Fuller sits on session 2 with Howard Williams on piano And Alvin Jackson And Art Taylor; Flanagan returns for the 3rd date. Wilbur Harden was a mysterious figure in jazz appearing on a handful of dates And then suddenly disappearing after suffering with mental illness not long after the 1958 sessions featured on this reissue.
