John Coltrane - Another Side of John Coltrane

John Coltrane began his career as a highly respected sideman, who rose to fame playing alongside some of the greatest names in jazz. Another Side of John Coltrane explores this aspect of the trailblazing artist’s career and spotlights some of his best work in sessions led by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Red Garland, Tadd Dameron, and Art Taylor.

The collection is produced by Nick Phillips, mastered by the Grammy-winning engineer Paul Blakemore, with lacquers cut by Clint Holley at Well Made Music. Another Side of John Coltrane also includes new liner notes by the award-winning journalist, and author Doug Ramsey.

Another Side of John Coltrane also includes several highlights from Miles Davis-led sessions, including a 1956 recording of the Sonny Rollins-penned “Airegin”, and Thelonious Monk’s classic “‘Round Midnight”.

Although Another Side of John Coltrane primarily focuses on sessions captured between 1956–1957, the album also features one additional standout performance, recorded well into Coltrane’s career as a respected leader. This is a rendition of “Someday My Prince Will Come” from the 1937 Disney animated film Snow White, is a classic in Davis’ cannon, thanks in part to an otherworldly solo by Coltrane, who joined his former boss in the studio for two tracks on the subsequent 1961 album, Someday My Prince Will Come.
