Culled from his earliest sessions as a leader (1957-1958), by which time John Coltreane had already played extensively with Miles Davis and Thelonious monk, these tracks rank among his most haunting and beautiful performances. Signature pieces like Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life" and Billy Eckstine's "I Want to Talk about You" are side by side with classic American standards. This collection also includes the overlooked ballad gems "Slow Dance" and "While my Lady Sleeps."
