Tadd Dameron, John Coltrane - Mating Call (2018) [Hi-Res 24/192000]

A sublime early set from John Coltrane -- and one of Tadd Dameron's greatest moments on record ever! The session's a laidback quartet one -- with John Simmons on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums, completing the group with Dameron on piano and Trane on tenor -- all coming together in a style that's loose, but still quite sharp overall -- especially given Coltrane's tremendous tone, which really helps take the record to the next level from the very first moment it comes into the mix! Dameron's piano is strong, but subtle -- and his compositions are what really make the record great -- tunes that include "Soultrane", "Mating Call", "Romas", "Super Jet", and "On A Misty Night".
