A man named Robert Petway first recorded the famous song “Catfish Blues” during one of just two recording sessions for Bluebird Records, and then disappeared, never to be heard from or found again.

Limited 180 gm vinyl LP pressing. Recorded in 1968 and intended as a tribute to her late husband, Alice Coltrane is supported in her first solo outing by Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Garrison and Rashied Ali - all members of John Coltrane's last quintet. While initial reviews to the album were lukewarm upon release, looking at it in the context of her larger body of work, A Monastic Trio serves as a delightful foreshadowing of what was to come. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
