A legend on both tenor and soprano saxophone, John Coltrane stands as a towering titan of modern jazz. His instantly recognizable style-an energetic cascade of notes, honks and squeals-redrew the artistic and emotional boundaries for the entire genre.   

The Heavyweight Champion is a priceless 7-CD collection preserving every last note Trane cut for Atlantic Records, with newly remastered sound! It includes an entire disc of never-before-released material (featuring fascinating alternate takes from the legendary Giant Steps sessions), a lavish 72-page booklet packed with rare photos, interviews, newly penned liner notes, and detailed sessionography.   

Hailed as the gem of the Rhino/Atlantic jazz catalog, this box houses one of the most important bodies of work in all of music!
