JOHN COLTRANE - LIVE APOLLO THEATER

1 On Green Dolphin Street

2 Walkin'

3 The Theme

4 Yesterdays / Autumn Leaves / Whatos New/Moonlight In Vermont

5 Rifftide

Recorded by the German WDR radio at the Apollo Theater in Düsseldorf on Monday, March 18, 1960 this session documents a precise step in John Coltrane's career. While on tour in Europe with the Miles Davis quintet, the young but already mature tenor saxophonist took the chance to lead a quartet session with the Davis rhythm section, a hard swinging combo with pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist extraordinaire Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb. This is very fine set based on a bunch of well selected standards, among them "On Green Dolphin Street", Miles Davis's "Walkin'" and a deep ballad medley including "Yesterdays", "Autumn Leaves", 'What's New", and "Moonlight In Vermont".
