On September 15, 1957, John Coltrane went into Rudy Van Gelder’s studio and created a 40-plus-minute masterwork that stands as one of the greatest jazz records of all time. “Blue Train” is a pioneering five-song, blues-steeped, hard bop outing that exhilarates with pockets of brawn and poetry, excursions of ferocity and finesse, stretches of blazing velocity, and soulful tenderness. To mark the 65th anniversary of the album’s recording, “Blue Train” is now available in two separate editions as part of Blue Note’s acclaimed Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Series. 2-LP stereo ‘Complete Masters’ edition: original album in stereo, second disc of alternate and incomplete unreleased takes. 2-LP set comes with inbound booklet featuring never-before-seen session photos by Francis Wolff and essay by Coltrane expert Ashley Kahn.
