Overview

Interplay for 2 Trumpets and 2 Tenors was released in 1957 on Prestige Records, catalogue 7112. The record features the first recording of pianist Mal Waldron's composition, "Soul Eyes", which went on to become a jazz standard. Some CD reissues also include the bonus track "C.T.A." (James "Jimmy" Heath), originally issued on Taylor's Wailers, recorded the same day, with just Coltrane, Chambers, Taylor and pianist Red Garland. The album would be later issued also as Interplay, a compilation credited to Coltrane alone, which also features tracks from other albums.
