For his final Prestige-related session as a sideman, John Coltrane and Kenny Burrell are supported by an all-star cast of Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb , and Tommy Flanagan. This short but sweet gathering cut their teeth on two Flanagan compositions, another two lifted from the Great American Songbook, and a Kenny Burrell original. Flanagan's tunes open and close the album, with the spirited "Freight Trane" getting the platter underway. While not one of Coltrane's most assured performances, he chases the groove right into the hands of Burrell. The guitarist spins sonic gold and seems to inspire similar contributions from Chambers' bowed bass and Coltrane alike.
