Despite its title (which was due to the original LP containing the last of Prestige's
John Coltrane material to be released for the first time), this album does not have
Coltrane's final recordings either of his career or for Prestige. These "leftovers" are generally rewarding with an alternate take of "Trane's Slo Blues" (called "Slotrane") being joined by three slightly later numbers ("Lover," "By the Numbers" and "Come Rain or Come Shine") taken from quintet sessions with trumpeter
Donald Byrd, pianist
Red Garland, bassist
Paul Chambers and either
Louis Hayes or
Art Taylor on drums. Enjoyable if not essential hard bop from
John Coltrane's productive Prestige period. ~ Scott Yanow
