Lee Morgan's trumpet and Curtis Fuller's trombone add contrasting solo voices, supported by Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. Recorded in Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack studio, the five selections balance blues-based themes with extended improvisation and a ballad drawn from the American songbook. This limited blue vinyl edition commemorates the 100th anniversary of John Coltrane's birth in 1926.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track begins with a blues theme voiced by all three horns before Coltrane, Morgan, and Fuller take individual solos. \"Moment's Notice\" moves at a faster tempo through a more intricate melody, with the rhythm section keeping the players in motion. \"Locomotion\" turns to a lively blues and prominent drum accents from Philly Joe Jones. On \"I'm Old Fashioned,\" Coltrane interprets the Jerome Kern standard at a slower pace, while \"Lazy Bird\" closes with a quick theme and another sequence of improvisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sextet recorded these five performances on September 15, 1957, with Alfred Lion producing and Rudy Van Gelder engineering.
