The two albums included here have something else in common other than Coltrane's presence and a close recording date: both present small groups (a quartet and a sextet) and both sessions were organized by two talented pianists: Tadd Dameron (1917-1965) -who presents his own compositions- and Tommy Flanagan (1930-2001).
