November 1961, the recordings that scandalized the critics - "anti-jazz," they cried, and history has been laughing at them ever since. "Chasin' The Trane" is fifteen minutes of pure tenor exploration over bass and drums, no piano, no net: John Coltrane interrogating a blues until it confesses everything. Eric Dolphy guests, and "Spiritual" - with that grave, hymn-like theme - points directly at everything the sixties would become. This is the record where the polite version of Coltrane's story ends and the real adventure begins in public. Original US Impulse! edition of an absolute landmark, orange spine and all.
