It would be the legendary saxophonist's sole album as a leader for Blue Note, a locomotive five-track album fueled by the bluesy title track that featured a dynamic six-piece band with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.

The complete album + bonus track - limited edition pressing on 180g crystal clear vinyl. Recoded at Rudy Van Gelder's famed studio in Hackensack, New Jersey in January 1957, this pivotal album in Coltrane's discography was his only session as leader for Blue Note Records. The album marked the first time he was given full rein to select his own sidemen for a date, and when asked in a 1960 radio interview which was his favourite of all the albums he'd recorded up to that point, his instant reply was, 'Blue Train'. Coltrane wrote four of the record's five tracks and his playing exhibits early elements of the signature style for which he later became known. Album Tracks 1. Blue Train 2. Moment's Notice 3. East Bound (Bonus Track) 4. Locomotion 5. I'm Old Fashioned 6. Lazy Bird
