Free Music Notes for Coltrane Plays the Blues
Free Music Review: just bluesy jazz
Hit: 5 Stars
this is not the "esoteric" John Coltrane, like you would hear on "Interstellar Space" or other mid 1960's avant garde type offerings from the master, these are 1960 recordings, made at the same time as "My Favorite Things" (the contrast between those two albums is quite interesting). It is sparse, straight-ahead jazz with a blues tinge to it. Great accompaniment by elvin Jones and Mcoy Tyner, two mainstays from later Coltrane albums.
Coltrane Plays the Blues Poster
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes house in a miniature LP sleeve. 2006.The recordings here come from the same October 1960 sessions that produced My Favorite Things, and while the all-blues album is far less famous, it's an equivalent document of John Coltrane's work in his earliest recordings of the quartet with drummer Elvin Jones and pianist McCoy Tyner. The all-blues format emphasizes Coltrane's personal relationship to the form, both his emotional depth and his capacity for harmonic extension on essentially modal materials. His soprano on "Blues to Bechet" is a summoning up of the blues form's original power, also apparent in the slow and moving "Blues to Elvin." "Blues to You," played with just Jones and bassist Steve Davis, is a hot coil of sound, Coltrane's convoluted lines twisting into new shapes while he and Jones catch every possible nuance of the beat. "Mr. Knight" would later turn into "India," but it's already a floating modal figure for his tenor. This edition includes the alternate takes previously available only in the box set The Heavyweight Champion. --Stuart Broomer
