Experience the bluesy side of John Coltrane in his first - and only - studio session as leader for Blue Note records: Blue Train. Teaming up with trumpeter Lee Morgan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist Kenny Dre, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Coltrane wrote all but one of the compositions on the album - rare at the albums' time of release - and described the album as one of his favorite recordings.

John Coltrane's Blue Train

Jacobs Music Center

Straight-ahead jazz is the point of departure these long-time veterans of the Los Angeles jazz scene but creating a temporal art form through improvisation and ensemble interaction is what this program is all about.
