 Rating:  - Coltrane ForeverThis album shows a magnificent Coltrane. I Think this CD must be in your music collection Rating:  - A great starter, but not the greatest ColtraneThis was the first Coltrane work I owned, and also one of my first forays into jazz music back in the day. In the vast, almost surreally expansive litany of John Coltrane music, this CD stands out for a number of reasons. For one, it provides a glimpse of the man sort of at a cross roads, where he was still whipping out the licks he has since become famous for, but where he also delves into an improvisational method that borders on the avant-garde, and indeed - many would argue - heralds that era. Especially in the opening title track, one really has to be listening close to tell that he hasn't strayed completely away from the original melody and chords, and for me, it causes a strain that is almost tangibly tiring. But the rest of the tracks ... Read More: Rating: - Trane has time enough for TynerIn the vast, almost surreally expansive litany of John Coltrane music, this CD stands out for a number of reasons. For one, it provides a glimpse of the man sort of at a cross roads, where he was still whipping out the licks he has since become famous for, but where he also delves into an improvisational method that borders on the avant-garde, and indeed - many would argue - heralds that era. Especially in the opening title track, one really has to be listening close to tell that he hasn't strayed completely away from the original melody and chords, and for me, it causes a strain that is almost tangibly tiring. But the rest of the tracks settle down into what I would call "traditional" Coltrane, where, yeah, he goes off on his own, but just when ... Read More: Rating: - Probably my favorite Coltrane albumI bought this a couple of years ago while I was on vacation in Vancouver. I was at a record store, when I spotted this one. I bought it. I listened, and came to conclusion that it was probably his best. The title track especially is awesome. It's 8+ minutes of killer saxophone, as only Coltrane can deliver. Other highlights for me on this Coltrane epic include 'The Drum Thing,' 'Bessie's Blues,' and 'Wise One.' This was released on the Impulse label, which was purchased by MCA years ago. The sound quality on the remastered disc is simply amazing. If you enjoyed this Coltrane record, check these out: A Love Supreme-Impulse Blue Train-Blue Note Giant Steps-Atlantic My Favorite Things-Atlantic ... Read More: Rating: - (3.5 stars) A bit sporadic Now this is a bit odd. Here we have John Coltrane, a guy best known for launching aural fireworks out of his saxophone, a guy known for expanding the sonic vocabulary of the tenor sax the way Hendrix did for the guitar, playing a soft, gentle album that's heavy on what seems to be introspection. But hey, I like it, odd as it may be. It's not one of Coltrane's several Class A recordings (which I deem to be Blue Train, Giant Steps, Coltrane's Sound, My Favorite Things, Live at the Village Vanguard, A Love Supreme, Ascension, First Meditations, Stellar Regions, and The Major Works of John Coltrane), but it still belongs on your shelf once you've drained all of those dry. And another thing - I just adore "Wise One", which positively shimmers - the interaction ... Read More: |
