John Coltrane brought a new sound and style to jazz, and he applied it in his own unique way to the standard material of the storehouse of American music gathered from Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley.
This appropriately titled collection from John Coltrane was originally recorded in 1958 with Wilbur Harden (trumpet/flueglhorn), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Jimmy Cobb (drums) and subsequently issued on Prestige in 1962. 'Trane and company take four standards of American music lore from such sources as Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley, and transform them into unique and energetic work outs, all colored with Coltrane's trademark tenor-sax tone and inimitable style.
In addition to an extended 10-minute version of Bronislau Kaper's "Invitation," also included here are readings of Henry Nemo's "Don't Take Your Love From Me," Fred Ahlert's "I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You)" and Richard Rodger's "Spring Is Here." Standard Coltrane is also of great historical significance as it was recorded shortly before Coltrane's groundbreaking modal work with Miles Davis on Kind of Blue, and of course, released after it changed jazz forever.
“The title could not have been more accurate. By 1962, Coltrane’s leadership role was undeniable; he was a standard-bearer of musical commitment, and intense, bold exploration. As well, all four tunes on the album were truly ‘standards’: 32-bar tunes originally crafted for Broadway or Hollywood projects, adopted by jazz instrumentalists to interpret and explore. There’s another meaning to be gleaned from the album’s title. In 1958, when Coltrane recorded the tracks, he often favored melodies that had attained popularity during his teen years—familiar and unfamiliar alike—all in a search to find new structures and fresh inspiration. This indeed was standard Coltrane—in ’58, and well into the ’60s.” — All Music Guide
