Description:Limited edition digitally remastered CD release including seven bonus tracks. Besides achieving a very personal and characteristic sound, John Coltrane opened the way to free Jazz, allowing himself to play long and complex improvisations that increasingly strayed from the tunes in which they were based. However, even though he forced himself to continually move further away from traditional melodies and conventional music structures, he always found time (even during his final years) to record some ballads. -
This classic album has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes house in a digipak packaging re-creating the original LP design. Includes such tracks as "You don't Know What Love Is," "Too Young to Go Steady," "All Or Nothing at All," and more!
Recorded at Van Gelder Recording Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on December 21, 1961, September 18, 1962 and November 13, 1962. BALLADS was originally released as Impulse! AS-32 (1962). Made in the E.U.

Robert S. - 15/Feb/2021 5 of 5 Stars!
This group of eight gentle ballads recorded in 1961 shows the gentler side of John Coltrane. Incredibly clean sound.

Ivica S. - 10/May/2020 5 of 5 Stars!
This is a classic and proves the point that Coltrane had the full credentials to be experimental and avantgard whilst at the same time could lay down tender, lyrical ballads in his unique and unmatched style.
