3.0 goodGamamJ | November 1st 20

Spectacular playing, not too special compositions. The first track comes blazong out of the gate and does not slow down, then come 2 slower numbers, of which the last is probably the weakest track on the album. The last track is an alright closer.

This one failed to convince me really. The first track is perhaps the first of Coltrane's that I actively dislike. It feels like epileptic jazz, which was hinted at on the last track of the prior album but becomes here really quite insufferable. There are some nice sections but they're almost always instantly ruined by some spasm of one instrument or another. 2 is on the other hand very slow, and quite enjoyable. 3 should have been the one called Slowtrane imo, for it does have a very nice, weighy slow groove to it, especially the first half. The second half looses its focus a bit, and the last track feels like it doesn't quite know what tempo to go for - slow and soulful like 3, or more upbeat and catchy in the vein of Blue Train - and ends up somewhat awkward as a result. Don't get me wrong, this is still nice jazz, but in the man's discog I don't really feel the need to come back to this, at least as a non-background listen. 3.4
