Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing
Vibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session, their only joint recording.
AllMusic notes that with fine backup by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Connie Kay, Bags and Trane stretch out on two of Jackson’s originals (including “The Late Late Blues”) and three standards: a romping “Three Little Words,” “The Night We Called It a Day,” and the rapid “Be-Bop.”
The highlight of the set is the eponymous opening track, which just oozes late-night cool.
This deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP reissue from Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) is a gem and will be a must-have for all jazz music fans.
