Jazz fans will be pleased to hear that one of the initial 5 SACDs will be "Blue Train" by John Coltrane. Blue Train is widely regarded as a jazz classic and features 5 tracks played by Coltrane and a backing group that consists of pianist Kenny Drew, bass player Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones on drums, Lee Morgan on trumpet and Curtis Fuller on trombone.
Black Dahlia to be Released in Multichannel SACD
