In the Winner's Circle documents the all-star session Bethlehem Records taped in New York in September and October 1957 with musicians who had placed high in the Down Beat critics' poll. John Coltrane plays tenor saxophone on four of the eight pieces, alongside Donald Byrd, Art Farmer, Kenny Burrell, Oscar Pettiford, and Philly Joe Jones among others. The material is calm and arrangement-led, with pieces such as 'Lazy Afternoon' and 'Not So Sleepy'. The session originally appeared in 1958 under the title Winner's Circle.

This edition is an LP.
