Описание:
Blue Train is the second studio album by John Coltrane, released in 1957 on Blue Note Records, catalogue BLP 1577. Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, it is Coltrane's second solo album, the only one he recorded for Blue Note as a leader, and the only one he conceived personally for the label. It has been certified a gold record by the RIAA.
he album was recorded in the midst of Coltrane's residency at the Five Spot as a member of the Thelonious Monk quartet. The personnel include Coltrane's once and future Miles Davis bandmates, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums, both of whom had played on pianist Kenny Drew's trio album on Riverside Records the year before. Both trumpeter Lee Morgan and trombonist Curtis Fuller were up-and-coming jazz musicians, and both would be members of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, working together on Blakey's acclaimed Indesctructible album among others.
All of the compositions were written by Coltrane, with the exception of the standard "I'm Old Fashioned." The title track is a long, rhythmically variegated blues with a sentimental minor theme that gradually shifts to major during Coltrane's first chorus. "Locomotion" is also a blues riff tune, in forty-four-bar form. During a 1960 interview, Coltrane described Blue Train as his favorite album of his own up to that point.
Mastered by Alan Yashida, alternate takes Mastered by Robert Vosgien at Capitol Mastering.

Two years ago, we decided to begin remastering the jewels of the Blue Note catalog in hi-def resolutions of 96k and 192k. In order to develop a guiding artistic philosophy for this delicate endeavor, we donned our lab coats, ran dozens of sonic experiments and carefully referenced every generation of our reissues. Ultimately, we decided that our goal would be to protect the original intentions of the artists, producers and engineers who made these records and that, in the case of pre-digital-era albums, these intentions were best represented by the sound and feel of their first-edition vinyl releases. Working with a team of dedicated and groovy engineers, we found a sound that both captured the feel of the original records while maintaining the depth and transparency of the master tapes... the new remasters are really cool! --Don Was, President, Blue Note Records
6 января 2014 лейблу Blue Note Records исполнилось 75 лет!!! Blue Note - Джазовый лейбл основанный в 1939 году Альфредом Лайоном и Максом Маргулисом. Blue Note Records владеет британская медиагруппа EMI Group. В 2006 году компания стала частью Blue Note Label Group — объединения лейблов, основанных EMI. Деятельность лейблов Blue Note Label Group направлена на удовлетворение растущего спроса на музыку для взрослого поколения.
Исторически Blue Note Records ассоциируется со стилем джаза хард-боп (смесью бибопа с другими жанрами, включая соул, блюз, ритм-н-блюз, госпел). С лейблом работали такие известные музыканты, как: Джимми Смит, Хорас Сильвер, Фредди Хаббард, Ли Морган, Арт Блэйки, Лу Дональдсон, Дональд Бёрд, Грант Грин. Тем не менее, сотрудничество многих известных джазменов с Blue Note Records носило эпизодический характер, и многие записывались на лейбле всего один раз.
Многие альбомы, выпущенные Blue Note Records, были награждены специальной наградой в девятой редакции Penguin Guide to Jazz. Из восьмидесяти альбомов, получивших награды, восемь были выпущены Blue Note Records. Так же из 213 альбомов, вошедших в «центральную коллекцию» Penguin Guide to Jazz 27 были выпущены на лейбле Blue Note Records.
