Product Review

- Giant Steps
- Bags & Trane (with Milt Jackson)
- Ole Coltrane

While John Coltrane first gained attention for his revolutionary "sheets of sound" technique, it was the deep spirituality of his music that really made his recordings as a bandleader such classics. The albums he recorded for Atlantic in 1959 and 1960 represent the heart of his legacy.

This box set gathers Coltrane's mono recordings from the Atlantic vaults to be released as a 6CD box set:

- Packaged in an elegant hard-bound box.

- One album of outtakes.
