What a delightful compilation (what is now known as a "playlist"). I was looking for some good old fashioned straight ahead jazz and this is it. No B.S. I love the ambience. I was particularly intrigued by the #6 tune "At Home With the Blues," since I didn't recognize it, and I couldn't remember Coltrane playing with a Clarinet player (outside of Eric Dolphy). Turns out this track if from a "super group" session entitled "Winner's Circle" from 1957, produced by the Bethlehem label, with Oscar Pettiford being the only artist on all tracks (ironically, John Coltrane does not play on this track). What a forgotten gem. Thanks!
