Out of all the Coltrane albums this is one of my absolute favorites. It’s the classic quartet, doing their thing, what more is there to say really? For me, this is jazz perfection. It’s lyrical but progressive. It’s full of musical brilliance, passion and warmth. A beautiful mix of tunes which leaves you wanting more.
It took me some time to find this original mono pressing. A few of these Coltrane on Impulse are quite difficult to find. They are still quite reasonably priced it seems. So you get a lot for your buck when you invest in these albums. Worth every penny.
Out of all the Coltranes on Impulse, do you have a favorite? Maybe you can give me your top 3? “Crescent” is definitely in my top 3.
On the new arrivals front I have just secured a couple of nice titles. Looking forward to receiving those. Amazing music on both of them. It will be the first titles in my collection that features these artists as leaders, which is quite exciting. I enjoy both musicians a lot. Stay tuned.
I hope you’re having a great week and that you are enjoying your collections and life in general. Cheers!
