| 3.0 good | GamamJ | August 23rd 20 |
Good. Compositionally, nothing extra special, but what gets it that extra 0.5 from average to good is the phenomenal piano playing from Cecil Taylor (as mentioned inBedex's soundoff). His slightly dissonant lines around the melody and chords make for an interesting experience. Of course Coltrane absolutely abuses the sax, but we cannot expect any less.

I really dug this one, but quite inexplicably as it is quite simple and not fundamentally different from its immediate predecessors really. The only real difference being the (very occasional) audacities of Cecil Taylor on the piano, first and foremost with the short album intro that I dig a lot. If anything this album makes me want to check out Cecil Taylor actually. Not to take anything from Coltrane purring sax or from the other members really who also hold down the fort very skillfully. After the occasionally mildly dissonant piano ventures on the relatively slow paced 1, the album speeds up with the three ensuing tracks getting dancier and catchier. 2 evokes city jazz quite strongly, on 3 the rhythm section is having a blast and takes the spotlight here and there, then on 4 the brass comes back to the centre stage. Far from his most legendary record probably, but one I thoroughly enjoyed for sure. Oh and this was originally issue as a Cecil Taylor album titled Stereo Drive and titled Hard Driving Jazz for its mono version per wikipedia, so idk really where to rate this. 4.0
