John Coltrane's 1961 performances at the Village Vanguard, the New York club where many of the jazz greats of the time played and recorded, are regarded as a turning point in the development of jazz. The thrilling 16-minute 'Chasin' the Train' is the highlight of this live album, which features three selected recordings. The live recordings were supervised by legendary sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder.
John Coltrane is accompanied by an all-star ensemble consisting of Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone/bass clarinet), Garvin Bushell (oboe/contrabassoon), Ahmed Abdul-Malik (oud), McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), Reggie Workman (bass), Elvin Jones (drums) and Roy Haynes (drums).
This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums' master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L'Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. - Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector's items for the Japanese market.
