Lush Life is an album by jazz musician John Coltrane, released in early 1961 on Prestige Records. It was assembled from previously unissued tracks from three recording sessions at Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey in 1957 and 1958. As Coltrane's profile increased during the 1960s, some years after the end of his Prestige contract, the label used unissued recordings to create new albums without Coltrane's input or approval. Personnel: Tracks 1-3 John Coltrane – tenor saxophone Earl May – bass Art Taylor – drums Tracks 4-5 John Coltrane – tenor saxophone Red Garland – piano Paul Chambers – Read more on Last.fm.
