AMG:
This two-fer from the excellent Prestige series of two-LP sets features Coltrane at a pair of jam-session-type settings in 1957. He is heard along with fellow tenor Paul Quinichette and Frank Wess on flute and tenor on two long versions apiece of "Wheelin'" and "Dealin" in addition to a fine rendition of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and a 15-minute version of "Robbins' Nest." In addition, there are two numbers from a sextet session with trumpeter Bill Hardman and altoist Jackie McLean. Overall the music is not all that essential (since there are so many other Coltrane recordings available) but is quite enjoyable on its own terms and worth picking up.

Tracks:
1. Things Ain't What They Used To Be 8:24
2. Wheelin' (Take 2) 11:20
3. Wheelin' (Take 1) 10:23
4. Robbins Nest 15:31
5. Dealin' (Take 2) 10:13
6. Dealin' (Take 1) 9:59
