2014 vinyl LP pressing reissue. This November 1956 date marked the first recording of the deeply moving ballad Soultrane, as well as the first exposition of the lovely line On a Misty Night (based on September in the Rain), a number Dameron would later explore himself in other contexts. This is not a typical Tadd Dameron date in that his music is not played by a large ensemble or even a quintet. He is represented as a composer but not as an arranger; yet, his pungent themes come through strongly, carried by the searing, probing tenor saxophone of John Coltrane. With John Simmons, Philly Joe Jones. Mating Call, Gnid, Soultrane, On a Misty Night, Romas, Super Jet
