4.0 excellentBedex | September 21st 20

Perhaps not legendary tier, but certainly top tier Coltrane with yet another album I will come back to. Unlike Plays the Blues in which the sessions felt quite uninspired, here the incessant meandering of the sax, piano and drums are full of flavour and spice. This is particularly true of the delightful opening track, perhaps the best here as it increasingly gets more rich and fun to turn into an absolute jams with many a solo and a lovely surprise chord. 2 is slower and has more of a relaxed evening vibe. Quite sweet before 3 becomes playful again, reminding of 1 and with some quite recognisable melodies. 4 is again slower and gets a bit darker too but is also really sweet, although the slightly protracted conclusion is maybe my one main gripe with this album. 5 brings the energy all the way back up with especially prominent drums, and concludes quite well an album that was pretty much brilliant all the way through, but lacked perhaps a couple behemoth, legendary tracks a la My Favorite Things/ Ole to really make it to 4.5 tier. 4.1
