The John Coltrane Quartet

2023 Limited Edition, Reissue, Stereo, 180g.
Coltrane in full forward motion. Big tone, relentless drive, band absolutely locked in behind him. It’s hard bop tipping into something more searching, you can feel him pushing at the edges of the form. McCoy Tyner comping like thunderclouds, Elvin Jones rolling underneath it all. Not background jazz. This is head down, deep focus, let it take you somewhere stuff. Proper heavyweight. FFO Miles Davis mid 60s, Thelonious Monk tougher cuts, Sonny Rollins extended jams, Art Blakey, modal jazz heads
