John Coltrane is today recognised as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz. Yet when he first appeared in the ranks of Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra at the end of the 1940s, no-one could have predicted this different young man would , within a decade, become an iconic musician dedicated to making music into hitherto undreamt-of dimensions. Featured here on this Anthology are three of his best albums; 'Blue Train', 'Soultrane' and 'Dakar', all digitally remastered and in their original running orders.
