ophone and then a sensitive trombone. The piano solo is perfectly played with the added effect of the drummer rubbing brushes in the background. since it has a small be bop feel to it. The song begins wiLee Morgan then begins a trumpet solo that eventually brings the song to its end.“Lazy Bird” is a faster paced song that is 4/4 and swung. It is quite possible that this song is a tribute to Charlie “Bird” Parker th the piano intro, and then goes to trumpet that states the melody and goes into a solo. The comes Fuller on the trombone, Coltrane on sax, Drew on the piano, Chambers using a bow, and then a crazy drum solo by Philly Joe. Lee Morgan on the trumpet then takes us back to the theme where the song and album end.I felt that “Blue Train” brought me to a new level of jazz enlightenment. While driving my truck on Texas’s monotonous highways over Spring Break, the sound of John Coltrane’s sax and Paul Chamber’s bass constantly distracted me from the boredom of the highway and lightened my mood. It made me feel as if I was in a different place where I could make new discoveries. With the stereo blaring, “Blue Train” overwhelmed me, putting my mind at ease. By looking deep into the songs, I was able to hear things that amazed me and made me feel like I had missed out by not listening to music as closely up until this point....
