On July 11, 1958, recording Standard Coltrane, John Coltrane preferred familiar and unfamiliar melodies from his youth, looking for new structures and inspirations in them. The album, not released until 1962, was made for Prestige Records with trumpeter Wilbur Harden, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb. Coltrane's groundbreaking modal post-bob of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue was still in the future. To be heard instead are, among others, a ten-minute version of the standard Invitation. Remastering of the analog tapes for Analogue Productions was handled by Kevin Gray at his Cohearent Audio Studios.
