Bye Bye Blackbird - Reissue

Originally recorded in 1962, these are two European concert performances with John Coltrane's classic quartet pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones backed up the great saxophonist. With a brief yet incredibly strong playlist, Bye Bye Blackbird allows listeners to hear Coltrane delving deep inside two pieces: 'Bye Bye Blackbird' and 'Traneing In.' In these extended versions, the horn player does everything possible with chord structures, and then moves into the impossible, resulting in some of the most powerful Coltrane tenor saxophone on record.
