Item Information Artists Name: MASSEY, CAL Title: BLUES TO COLTRANE Format: CD Label: CANDID City Hall Catalog Number:  79029 UPC Product Code: 708857902927 List Price: 11.98 Musical Category:  JAZZ Release Date:  9/19/2006 Additional Musical Category Notes:   Cal was one of the unsung heroes of jazz, not even rating a mention in "All Music Guide," but recognized by connoisseurs as a master of beautiful, melodic and soulful trumpet playing. This belated first release of an album recorded almost half a century ago is the only session Cal Massey ever recorded under his own name. Better known for his fine compositions - Fiesta, Nakatini Suite, Bakai, Love Song, Demon's Dance, Quiet Dawn and many others. Coltrane's influence is felt strongly in the title track and elsewhere and is especially reflected in the fine playing throughout of tenorman Hugh Brodie - yet another unsung American jazz hero.
