Coltrane ve diğer grup üyeleri 15.09.1957'de sanatçının Blue Note'dan yayımlanan tek albümü olan Blue Train'i kaydetmişlerdir.

Sonuç olarak, Blue Train önemli bir albüm ve içinde oldukça özgür bir form kullanılmış ve her şey hem kişisel ve hem kollektif açıdan işlenmiş. Müzisyenlerin ileri seviyesi, birbirlerini anlamaları parçalar içinde harika bir hava ortaya koymuş.

Coltrane and bandmates recorded " Blue Train "release, on Sept. 15, 1957 as his only record from Blue Note .
Obviously being well-rehearsed, the title track, an eerie blues selection, is Lee Morgan's real chance to shine. After the intial melody Lee's trumpet makes an energetic statement, followed closely by Curtis Fuller on trombone, and everything here runs extremely 'Hot and Cool'. Plus after 10 odd minutes the listener may be already exhausted, to say nothing of in awe of this bands performance. Following up with Moment's Notice, my personal favorite, another fast-paced tune with solo's by Coltrane, Fuller, Morgan and even a bowed bass performance by Paul Chambers, and you'll be amazed at how 'happy' even Coltrane can sound when composing. The ballad I'm Old-Fashioned, the only selection not written by him, is a perenial favorite as well, played softly and gently it's a wonderful contrast to the energetic playing that fills up the rest of this remarkable album. But than again.... I've always been preferential to Ballads anyway! Closing with Lazy Bird with a wonderful piano intro by Kenny Drew, and following with solos by Coltrane, Fuller and Paul Chambers and with Lee Morgan ending this track while Coltrane and Curtis ride out the theme.
All in all Blue Train is remarkable in the sense that while the music being performed here is extremely free in it's origins it never lose's that sense of control . Everything here, individually and collectively, works simply due to the players musical maturity in relating with one another and in each participant understanding his part in these wonderful tracks.
