Blue Train was John Coltranes first time as session leader on Blue Note and third session as a leader, recorded on 15 September 1957 for Blue Note at the Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, although he was still under contract of Prestige (that is why the rear jacket has: John Coltrane performs by courtesy of Prestige Records). The sextet includes Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.

Saxophonist Michael Jenner was raised in Pittsburgh and has been based in New Orleans for twenty years. Inspired by the swinging roots of Pittsburghs jazz tradition, and the profound influence of New Orleans street beats, he has cultivated a sophisticated and diverse sound grounded in the jazz and funk traditions, ranging from Art Blakey and Lennie Tristano to The Meters and Dr. John.
