One winter night, in 1962, John Coltrane gathered in a drafty New York recording studio with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Elvin Jones and legendary engineer, Rudy Van Gelder.
After a minimum of rehearsal and then recording just one take each of eight songs, John Coltrane’s landmark album, Ballads was complete.
Coltrane included two Jimmy McHugh tunes on the LP, Say It (Over and Over) & Too Young To Go Steady.
This is definitely essential listening for anyone who loves jazz.
Here are links to John Coltrane performing the music of Jimmy McHugh:
