One of those rare combinations that occur only in the recording studio happened between John Contrane and Kenny Burrell in 1958. This is the one-time chemistry of Burrell and Coltrane, the blend of guitar and tenor saxophone in a mix of originals and standards; one of the latter, Why Was I Born, is a duet for the two principals. A really legendary meeting between two young jazz giants – guitarist Kenny Burrell and tenor legend John Coltrane
the latter of whom plays here in a rare session with a guitar! The album was done at a time when Coltrane's star was really rising, and the Prestige label was letting him try things out in a variety of different settings – and Burrell himself was also willing to move past older standard jazz guitar modes, as on his Blue Note albums from the period – which makes for a perfect match for Coltrane in the frontline. Tracks are long and flow with qualities that are similar to other Coltrane Prestige sessions from the time – and backing is from a superb trio
