Milt Jackson & John Coltrane, Bags & Trane, 1961 on Atlantic

Jackson and Coltrane are joined by Hank Jones (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Connie Kay (drums). Recording supervised by Nesuhi Ertegun, engineered by Tom Dowd.

Great LP, bringing together Milt Jackson (Bags) of The Modern Jazz Quartet and John Coltrane (Trane) who had a year earlier put out Giant Steps. I’m not always a fan of the vibraphone but love how it plays off of Coltrane on this album.

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2017 reissue by Rhino Vinyl, in mono, pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal GmbH. Sounds great.

Another pick for this week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme, #FireSmokeAndHeat.

This very enjoyable Drifters soundalike was issued on the short-lived Heidi record label. Distributed by Atlantic Records, Heidi was a showcase for the productions of Tom Dowd and Bert Keyes, and if my memory serves me right, it may have been owned by them as well.
