John Coltrane: A Jazz Delegation From The East (Records & LPs) [ vinyl ]

This great document consists of two different 1956, Hollywood, studio sessions with the young John Coltrane leading a true jazz delegation from the East, in other words a NY/Philly-based quartet featuring young lions such as pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. These are good solid blowing sessions, originally not even scheduled for a release and consisting of fine and surprising renditions of Charlie Parker's ''Dexterity'', Benny Golson's ''Stablemates'', and Cole Porter's ''Easy To Love'', plus three originals by Coltrane, Chambers, and Drew. - A1.
