Reviewed: 2018-04-05 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: This is a sampler of a five-disc box set that features remastered chronological sessions from 1958 by the jazz saxophonist on Prestige Records. Coltrane was still a few years away from defining his more unique, often avant-garde approach, but he is in full control on this batch of predominantly standards. His full-throated tenor is powerful and often intense, even for the ballads that comprise the majority of these selections. As for favorites, what’s not to like?
