About
John Coltrane's tenor sax solo is the second of 6 solos on this recording, following Johnny Griffin's tenor sax and followed by Lee Morgan on trumpet. Spanning two choruses of the 36-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 188 BPM with a swing feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 1:33. "All the Things You Are" is a performance of Jerome Kern's harmonically rich standard from Johnny Griffin's 1957 album A Blowing Session, featuring an extraordinary parade of six soloists navigating the 36-bar AABA form in A-flat. John Coltrane was 30 to 31 years old at the time of this 1957 recording.
