Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:John Coltrane
Song:Spring Is Here
Album:The Stardust Sessions




Originally Prestige Records scattered the songs from this 1958 session over several LPs but reunited them on 2 LPs in 1975. They are now available on CD. Coltrane does all standards. Spring Is Here is a Rodgers & Hart song. Wilbur Harden is on flugelhorn along with Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass & Jimmy Cobb on drums. This is the trademark Coltrane sound from that time period and I think it may have been at the end of his contract with Prestige.
