"Standard Coltrane" is an essential album in John Coltrane's discography, capturing a pivotal moment in his artistic development. Recorded in 1958, this album falls during a period when Coltrane was transitioning from being a sideman with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk to a leader in his own right. This was a time when he was refining his "sheets of sound" technique, characterized by rapid, cascading notes, and exploring deeper harmonic structures.
