Notes

This is the first CD from the box of 8 , published in 1998 by Impulse. Trane is accompagnied by his classic quartet , with Elvin Jones, Mc Coy Tyner and Jimmy Garrison.The quality of sound is generally very fine, most ( or all) of the tracks were remastered.

The booklet as near 100 pages and I will try to add fine artcover with the last volume. I will also try to put 2 volumes a day ( my uploads are not high speed!).
