About this album
Recorded on September 15, 1957 at the Van Gelder Studio. It is considered Coltrane’s first solo album, as it is the first he recorded featuring musicians and songs entirely of his choosing. All of the compositions were written by Coltrane, save one.[1] The title track is a long, rhythmically variegated blues with a brooding minor theme that gradually shifts to major during Coltrane’s first chorus. “Locomotion” is also a blues riff tune, in thirty-two-bar form.
Blue Train remains an extremely popular disc, and during a 1960 interview Coltrane described it as his favorite album of his own up to that point.[3] The original 5 tracks were remastered to CD for a 1990 release. In 1997 The Ultimate Blue Train was released, adding two alternate takes and Enhanced CD content. In 1999, a 24bit 192kHz DVD-Audio version was relased as Blue Train Blue Note 1577. In 2003 a SACD version was released, as well as a Rudy Van Gelder remastered edition CD. The Rudy Van Gelder rerelease is Copy Controlled.
