Personnel: John Coltrane (tenor and soprano saxophones); Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, flute); Don Cherry, Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Milt Jackson (vibraphone); Hank Jones, Cedar Walton, Tommy Flanagan, Wynton Kelly, McCoy Tyner (piano); Paul Chambers, Charlie Haden, Percy Heath, Steve Davis, Art Davis, Reggie Workman (bass); Connie Kay, Art Taylor, Jimmy Cobb, Ed Blackwell, Elvin Jones, Lex Humphries (drums).

THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Historical Album. This album set is a powerful document of one of the most significant artists of the modern era in his prime.
