A good album and overall of quite consistent quality - simply missing really stand out tracks, but a nice jam overall. Despite the usual panning issues the mix is far from the worst. 1 starts off very relaxed until the drums eventually kick in giving some smooth dancy groove. 2 is more piano led and is a rather compelling atmospheric track, followed up by the dancey, instant bop 3. 4 like 1 is a bit more relaxed but builds up into a nice little groove. The piano is once again a highlight and the source of occasional spice. After a long but kinda fun bass solo, the sax comes back for a really great finale that could have concluded the album very well. 5 is interesting so I dont mind it, but it certainly feels less of a conclusion. As the title suggests it is a drum-led, eerie, tribal feeling track and feels quite unique in Coltrane's catalogue, before a nice drum solo comes to close things off. So yea a cool listen, but not Coltrane's peak for sure, although he does show very well that he doesnt feel the need to take the spotlight all the time and leaves plentiful space for the other musicians which is nice to see. 3.8

Incredible offering from the quartet and considerably more mellow than what was to immediately follow. Wise One and Lonnie's Lament are among his most beautiful ballads, while The Drum Thing and Crescent are moody, dark compositions. The Drum Thing hints at some of Coltrane's later work. Bessie's Blues is over in a hurry, and feels out of place.
