The distinguished tenor sax and bass tandem of John
Coltrane and Paul Chambers recorded 58 separate
sessions together, beginning with an October 27,
1955 Miles Davis Quintet date –which also included
pianist Red Garland and drummer Philly Joe Jones–
and ending with Coltrane’s legendary New Jersey,
May 23, 1961 recording of Africa Brass, that featured
Chambers on the song “The Damned Don’t Cry.”
Chambers’ Music was recorded in a quartet format
with Coltrane as the only horn, and issued on the
Aladdin/Jazz West label under Chambers’ name.
