Recorded in 1958, this excellent hard bop session features John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums. The album includes fantastic performances of “I See Your Face Before Me,” “If There Is Someone Lovelier Than You,” “Little Melonae” and “Rise ’N’ Shine.” A wonderful example of Coltrane’s early work with the legendary Prestige label and a great addition to any jazz collection.
