JOHN COLTRANE-
Crescent-
JAZZ-
NEW CD IN DIGIPACK
Label: VERVE
Verve Originals Series.
This album represents a period of musical summery, a survey of musical values Coltrane was reaching for at a crucial time in his career.
Sharp-edged John Coltrane at his best -- a record that we'd rank right up there with Love Supreme, and which is a key transition point in Coltrane's musical ideas!
There's a very strong edge to Coltrane's tone here -- and even on the mellower ballads, he plays with a sound not always heard before -- a quality that's bristlingly modern, and which really opens up on some of the longer numbers on the set. Rhythm is by the classic quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones -- and the sound is always pushing the boundaries towards new ideas, but always keeps nicely inside throughout!
Titles include "Crescent", "Wise One", "Lonnie's Lament", and "The Drum Thing".
