Craft Recordings highlights a lesser considered period of the legendary John Coltrane’s work. The Savoy Recordings, available as a 3CD or 3LP set, offers new pressings of Trane’s three albums for the Savoy label as co-leader with trumpeter/flugelhorn player Wilbur Harden. Mainstream 1958, Jazz Way Out and Tanganyika Strut have all been newly remastered (Amazon lists Paul Blakemore as mastering engineer, while Craft’s official site specifies Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio as the one cutting for RTI-pressed vinyl from the original tapes) and feature new liner notes from jazz aficionado Syd Schwartz.
