Tonight on Jazz Before Bedtime Brazil Week it's another Ary Barrosso tune. Here's a very unique version of the classic song Na Baixa do Sapateiro AKA "Bahia". Though originally a samba, in Coltrane's hands it becomes a mid-tempo swinger that frequently switches between a modal vamp and functional harmony. Features a nice arco (bowed) bass solo by Paul Chambers.

Personnel:

  • John Coltrane - tenor saxophone
  • Red Garland - piano
  • Paul Chambers - bass
  • Art Taylor - drums
