John Coltrane, "Equinox"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are back in Atlantic Recording Studios, 1841 Broadway (W. 60th St), NYC in late October 1960 for John Coltrane's "Equinox", which was first released on the "Coltrane's Sound" LP in 1964...

"With Nesuhi Ertegun producing and Tom Dowd engineering, "Equinox" was recorded at the same sessions that gave us the "My Favorite Things" LP. The band behind Coltrane were Elvin Jones, Steve Davis and the only recently departed McCoy Tyner (R.I.P. Sir). The entire "Coltrane's Sound" LP consisted of tracks from these sessions and had I known that earlier, I certainly would have acquired the LP sooner.

It is said of John Coltrane that he was a serious blues player and here he shows us there is more than one way to skin that cat !" - KV
