DON CHERRY / JOHN COLTRANE

The Avant-Garde

(Rhino) Used LP $12.00

Coltrane’s debut studio recording on soprano sax on one track (“The Blessing”) recorded during the summer of 1960 and then shelved for nearly six years. With Ed Blackwell (drums), Charlie Haden (bass), Percy Heath (bass). Neither Cherry nor Coltrane make radical departures on this album but their ability to complement the other both in terms of modal style and texture lends the album its success. 2003 reissue. Mono.
