Our Take

John Coltrane's "Blue Train" is a jazz album that's as classic as a cup of tea and crumpets. From the iconic title track to the soulful "Moment's Notice," this album is a whirlwind of emotion and musical prowess. Coltrane's saxophone skills are smoother than a fresh pint of Guinness, and the backing band is tighter than a pair of skinny jeans on a Saturday night in Shoreditch.

The album opens with the title track, a locomotive of a tune that chugs along with effortless coolness. Coltrane's saxophone weaves in and out of the melody like a double-decker bus navigating the streets of London. The rhythm section keeps the beat steady like Big Ben chiming at midnight, never missing a step.

Tracks like "Locomotion" and "Lazy Bird" show off Coltrane's versatility as a musician, with intricate solos that leave you feeling like you've just had a pint with the Queen. The album closes with the hauntingly beautiful "I'm Old Fashioned," a love letter to a bygone era that still feels fresh and alive.

"Blue Train" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast, whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newbie just dipping your toes into the genre. So put on your best tweed blazer, pour yourself a cuppa, and let John Coltrane take you on a musical journey through the streets of swinging London. Cheers, mate!
