But, hey, shipping is free. <\/p>\n<p>Before he became famous for his tenor and soprano saxophone playing, Coltrane was an alto saxophonist in the Navy and in the early part of his professional career with King Kolax, Dizzy Gillespie and Earl Bostic, among others. Of the few recorded instances of his alto work, this may be the most famous. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s from a 1958 Gene Ammons <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Groove-Blues-Gene-Ammons\/dp\/B000000YXD\/?_encoding=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;tag=rifftidougram-20\"target=\"_blank\">all-star session<\/a>. Ammons hosted Coltrane, fellow tenor saxophonist Paul Quinichette, baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, flutist Jerome Richardson, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist George Joyner and drummer Arthur Taylor. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in a hurry, you can move the slider to Coltrane\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s solo at 6:40. My advice is, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be in a hurry.
