transitional
Only for a J. Coltrane lover. This is during one of his later transitionl periods.
thanks for leading me to this cd, amazon review people.
five posthumously released tracks from 1965. even though i am a huge coltrane fan, i was in no hurry to pick this up, until i saw the positive reviews here on amazon (thanks, folks: i may have missed out on the thing otherwise). this is no scrapings from the barrel sort of album. these are firey, fantastic coltrane performances. a raw gritty outpouring of emotion is on display throughout the whole set, as mr coltrane, mccoy tyner, jimmy garrison, and elvin jones discourse in their amazing musical language. don't miss this if you are a coltrane fan. in fact, don't miss this if you are a music fan, period.
LIVING SPACE: great leftovers
this is a batch of leftover tracks from various recording dates before Coltrane passed away. there are lots of really interesting stuff here for fans to dig into. of particular interest is the overdubbing of his sax on the title track. wow. amazing sound. so beautiful and haunting. overall, this is a great addition to any Coltrane collection. Living Space is probably not one for the casual fans and certainly not a good place to start learning aboiut Coltrane. but a great and important audio document showcasing his never-ending exploratory directions.
