About

 After establishing himself as a new star with the Miles Davis quintet, the Thelonious Monk quartet, and various Prestige recordings with Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, and Tadd Dameron, Coltrane made his debut as a leader with this LP. It includes his own compositions such as Straight Street and Chronic Blues; and his inimitable explorations of little-heard old pop songs such as Violets for Your Furs, While My Lady Sleeps, and Time Was. – Elusive Disc
