Coltrane, John

Coltrane Plays The Blues

When this album was first released in July 1962, John Coltrane had already concluded his contract with Atlantic Records and was recording for Impulse Records. However, Atlantic decided to release some unissued recordings from 'My Favourite Things' sessions (October 1960) as a new album. This wasn't a new practice; from 1958 to 1962, Prestige Records had already put out several albums using unreleased recordings from their archives. Atlantic had already carried out a similar move by releasing Bags & Trane (recorded with Milt Jackson). This explains why Coltrane, and many other artists, have "parallel discographies" - one set of artist-approved albums and another made up of record label-assembled releases. Although the latter set might seem like a "B-series," it features some of the most intriguing recordings.
