The first four tracks are from the legendary quintet completed by John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. These are followed by a 1958 sextet session where once again Coltrane and Chambers were in the group, alongside Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans and Jimmy Cobb. Finally there are three live at the Blackhawk tracks (1961) with Chambers, Cobb, Wynton Kelly) and tenor sax player Hank Mobley
