John Coltrane had yet to move into his modal post-bop phase in 1958 when he recorded a session for Prestige Records on July 11 with trumpeter/flügelhornist Wilbur Harden, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, the results of which were issued in 1962 as Standard Coltrane. His groundbreaking modal work with Miles Davis on Kind of Blue was still a few months into the future, which makes this set truly historical. The highlight is most definitely a ten-plus-minute version of 'Invitation.' <br><br>Newly reissued on vinyl, Standard Coltrane is an essential addition to all jazz collections; and a 'MUST HAVE' for all Coltrane aficionados.
