John Coltrane: John Coltrane: The Prestige Recordings

Read "John Coltrane: The Prestige Recordings" reviewed by Robert Spencer


John Coltrane: The Prestige Recordings chronicles the first great segment of the master's career. The sixteen discs in this mammoth set were all recorded between 1956 and 1958, when Coltrane was a member of Miles Davis' and then Thelonious Monk's ensembles. It's not the Complete Prestige Recordings because it doesn't include material Coltrane recorded with Davis, ...

Bobby Timmons: Moanin' Blues

Read "Moanin' Blues" reviewed by Douglas Payne

Red's Blues collects eleven such tracks from as many albums the pianist recorded for Prestige ...

Ray Draper: The Ray Draper Quintet Featuring John Coltrane

Read "The Ray Draper Quintet Featuring John Coltrane" reviewed by Douglas Payne


What makes this fairly typical bop outing unique is that the leader plays tuba. Ray Draper (1940-82) was only 17 when he recorded this quintet date in 1957, his third of three for Prestige, and, as much as possible, he makes the clunky instrument swing.
