The 75th Anniversary SHM-CD. I realize I have a lot of digital copies of Blue Train! The enhanced US cd. The Japanese RVG edition. The Classics Records DAD. The High Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray Audio. And they all sound good if a bit different. In my current system as it sits (well I guess my speakers stand!) The Blu-ray and this one sound really really good and will probably get the most play.

This used to be one of my LEAST favorite Coltrane albums. Over the decades I've liked it more and more and see why it is so "revered." Today it is sounding great as the first spin of the day.

On an interview with Trane on the Miles/Trane Stockholm 1960 LPs, he says that Blue Trane is his favorite of all of the records he'd recorded under his own name up to that point in time.

Yes, I remember hearing that when that set first came out and thinking "Wow, go figure." I can understand that choice more clearly now.

I snoozed on this one too long. Had I known that Gary Bartz played on one third of this I'd have bought it sooner!

Really nice, with Charles Ables (Horn's longtime bassist) playing some very nice guitar on some of these tunes.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing enough 1940's Savoy sessions to make the Mosaic set worth while.
