John Coltrane as sideman on "Side Steps"

[rmb]

(Jazz Police) - A devoted John Coltrane fan may have every
one his records, but Coltrane also made outstanding
contributions as a side man on other artists' records.
"Side Steps" (Amazon.com: http://tr.im/ColtraneSide ) is
the third and final set in the John Coltrane series of
remastered studio sessions for Prestige Records. While
previous sets dealt with Cotrane as a leader and
collaborator, this 5-CD set captures Coltrane in a
supporting role, as a sideman to leaders like Sonny
Rollins, Gene Ammons, Red Garland, Tadd Dameron and others.
"Side Steps" contains the entirety of Coltrane's session
work as a Prestige sideman, from mid-1956 to early 1958,
with the exception of his work with Miles Davis (which is
in The Miles Davis Quintet: Legendary Prestige Quintet
Sessions, released in 2006). This collection is valuable
not only because it documents some of Coltrane's pivotal
session work, but also because it contains outstanding
music from one of the most fertile periods in jazz
performed by some of its finest practitioners...
