A great album, though I prefer the more rauceus side of Coltrane.

No idea what happened with this one. The early record has some of the weakest Coltrane material since his debut (in sput's discog order that is, I gather this album was actually recorded quite close to said debut), but later on things improve dramatically. The first track is quite nice and somewhat interesting being really stripped down. It's pretty much just Coltrane's velvet smooth sax, the rest is very discrete. 2 starts on really weird drums that just don't sound good to me, and follows up with a nice sly, sneaky vibe. But the track feels like it doesn't know where to go or what mood to convey; calm, malice, dissonance, happiness, it just ebbs and flows all over the place and the result doesn't quite work. 3 has a cool jazz feel but is perhaps the weakest track here and I didn't find it convincing at all. The various solo part (esp drums and bass) feel contrived and like they come out of nowhere. Weirdly enough the following track is one of Coltrane's bests at this point. The intro piano is sublime, and the track is rich and evolves in a coherent way unlike 2, from dark vibes to the good life. A solid jam. 5 is perhaps not as stellar but still very good, dancy jazz in the same style of some of his other stuff. These last two on their own would be 4.0 tier, but here this is maybe a 3.6

Cool, calm, collected. A relatively simple, slow form of jazz, Coltrane employs only four instruments on the album. Drums, piano, bass guitar, and obviously, the saxophone. The bass and drums often play just as simple rhythmic background pacers, but when they are employed in a more creative way, things get fun. The piano track is awesome, and this is such a relaxing album. 3.9/5
