Product description
Here's a fresh new take on a traditional jazz standard. The style is still uptempo swing, and the saxes maintain a fair share of the spotlight along with ensemble hits and solo spots for drums. However, there is a brief excursion into 5/4 and a few other meter surprises that help give this outstanding chart a contemporary edge.
John William Coltrane (1926 - 1967) was an American jazz saxophonist, bandleader and composer. He is one of the most influential and respected figures in the history of jazz and music of the 20th century.
