Although he had recorded several records on the smaller Prestige label, Coltrane's first major label association was with Ahmet Ertegun's Atlantic Records. Now all of 'Trane's pioneering Atlantic recordings are compiled in one huge seven-disc set entitled THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. As the content attests, this title is a fitting analogy.\u003cbr\u003eStarting with the early recordings with Milt Jackson for the BAGS \u0026amp; TRANE album, the set chronologically follows Coltrane's work through the groundbreaking GIANT STEPS sessions and beyond. Many alternate takes are sprinkled throughout amidst familiar album tracks from the likes of COLTRANE JAZZ, COLTRANE PLAYS THE BLUES and the magnificent MY FAVORITE THINGS, giving a picture of the saxophonist's intense creativity at this period. Finally, for the true 'Trane collector, disc seven, in a unique package, includes twenty-five alternate and incomplete takes, false starts and rehearsal recordings of classics like \"Giant Steps,\" \"Naima\" and \"Like Sonny.\" This set is a powerful document of one of the most significant artists of the modern era in his prime.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50761372631327,"sku":"081227964276","price":154.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/154e24b30a5a54bde9292ccbda77506d.jpg?v=1777833048","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/heavyweight-champion-the-complete-atlantic-recordings","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
