John COLTRANE - Turning Point (The Bethlehem Years) 1957


John COLTRANE - Turning Point (The Bethlehem Years)  1957

Jazz

A nice selection of recordings done by John Coltrane for Bethlehem Records -- mostly cut during December of 1957, and issued on the albums The Winner's Circle and Art Blakey Big Band! The music's a bit atypical for Trane, but is more than just a curiosity, with Trane fitting nicely into the poll winner's type setting of the first session and heavier large lineup of the latter nicely. 7 numbers in all, including "Pristine", "If I'm Lucky (I'll Be The One)", "Tippin'", "Midriff", "Turtle Walk", "Love & The Weather" and "The Outer World".
From Dusty Groove.
