John Coltrane's 1961 performances at the Village Vanguard, the New York club where many of the jazz greats of the time played and recorded, are regarded as a turning point in the development of jazz. The thrilling 16-minute 'Chasin' the Train' is the highlight of this live album, which features three selected recordings. The live recordings were supervised by legendary sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder.
John Coltrane is accompanied by an all-star ensemble consisting of Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone/bass clarinet), Garvin Bushell (oboe/contrabassoon), Ahmed Abdul-Malik (oud), McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), Reggie Workman (bass), Elvin Jones (drums) and Roy Haynes (drums).
