Jazz / Hard Bop
Remastered by Doug Sax

John Coltrane brought a new sound and style to jazz, and he applied it in his own unique way to the standard material of the storehouse of American music gathered from Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley. With the excellent rhythm team of Red Garland, Paul Chambers (both of whom had done so many concert, club and recording dates with him) and Jimmy Cobb and the Miles-directed flugelhorn of Wilbur Harden, Trane puts his personal stamp on numbers not done that often like Henry Nemo's "Don't Take Your Love from Me," Fred Ahlert's "I'll Get By" and two more familiar yet still not overdone songs, Richard Rodgers' "Spring Is Here" and Bronislau Kaper's "Invitation."

Speaking subjectively, Doug Sax's remaster is more natural-sounding than the RVG remaster. There is less EQ'ing - the drums and cymbals sound completely natural and not so bright and in-your-face as the RVG. Equally, Coltrane's sax is not so harsh on Doug Sax's remaster, which generally provides a smoother, more laid-back listen than the RVG.
