In the past 20 years, there have been several reissues of this classic on its original Blue Note label including a couple of extra takes, but this has just the basic album in all its glory plus a slightly less exciting bonus album. Blue Train was obviously one of those sessions where everything came together – the original material (all except one standard), the young hornmen Morgan and Fuller, the choice of Philly Joe rather than Prestige's preference for Art Taylor, and Trane himself (then working regularly with Monk during the legendary Five Spot residency) on top form. No need perhaps to sing its praises any further, but the addition of Lush Life should make this attractive to newcomers. A mishmash of three sessions, it has a standard left over from his debut album, three tunes with just bass and drums (including ‘Like Someone In Love’ and Cole Porter's ‘I Love You’) and the 14-minute title-track. Unlike his 1963 version with Johnny Hartman, this is revealing for Trane's theme-statement and solo, but rapidly descends into boredom when Byrd and Garland take over. By all means, if you don't already know Blue Train, invest in this edition.
