‘Blue train’ has one of the most memorable and, consequently, whistled intros ever. During the eighties when I first started buying jazz Blue Note was obviously one of the places I started. And I think ‘Blue Train’ was the first album I bought by John Coltrane. The cover is amazing as well. Coltrane frozen in some sort of thinker pose. A friend of mine who has a talent for drawing sketched me this portrait and it hangs on the wall just outside my bedroom as the moment. The other thing about it is that John Coltrane looks like a young Frank Bruno. More in some photos than in others.
