Down Beat:
â??All aspects of Coltraneâ??s conception during this period are wellillustrated on the album: the classic simplicity and haunting loveliness of the Coltrane ballad technique is here further exemplified by â??Someone in Loveâ?; â??Traneâ??s Slow Bluesâ? is another superlative effort in the blues genre. That Coltrane has altered his style somewhat since recording these selections does not alter their value in the least. For sheer beauty of approach and execution, his work has rarely been equaled.â? â?? Franz Kofsky - PLUS 4 BONUS TRACKS
Recorded August 16, 1957 (tracks 1 to 3, 6), January 10, 1958 (tracks 4, 7 to 9) & May 31, 1957 (track 5).
I don't claim to be a judge of musicianship by any stretch of the imagination, but it was as close as you can get to Mr. Coltrane playing if himself, in my opinion.
He played it to perfection, note for note.
Great CD
