Free Music Notes for Standard ColtraneFree Music Review: This marks the time that Trane began to leave the station...
I must disagree with the previous review. The rhythm section of Garland, Chambers, and Cobb is "of the calibre" of any and all who played before this or after this with John Coltrane. It is Coltrane himself, especially on this one, whose genius and virtuosity begin to lead him, quite logically, away from this spot. The fact that I like this particular spot better than where he heads off to is completely irrelevant. At least it is if art, talent, and one's own creativity are valid. This recording, along with "Settin' The Pace", both recorded within 4 months of each other - in the pivotal year for Trane of 1958 - shows the bind he was in then. At times, mostly on the latter (which was recorded in the spring of '58), Trane seems to be perfectly content...or maybe a better way to put it would be "in synch"...with the groove that some of the best 'straight-ahead' jazz players that have lived to date are laying down for him, and with him. Then, there are other times when he seems to be pulling against...or maybe just on...that same groove - or maybe just trying to take it 'somewhere else'. Specifically, listen to his playing on "I'll Get By" (recorded in the summer of '58) - from "Standard Coltrane". It is restless almost to the point of being uncomfortable... for him as well as the sidemen. When Wilbur Harden comes in, it is almost like a sigh of relief comes over the band. They all knew it - it was time for Trane to move on. I mean, how many ballads can you play perfectly, or with so much romantic lyricism...and how many blues grooves, and so on. This is my last Trane review, so I'm going to really try to make a point here. With a genius such as Coltrane there need not be - SHOULD not be - any Time, or Subjectivity. No 'early' Trane, no 'better' Trane. Simply 'different' Trane. Perhaps the fact that John Coltrane's art attracts such vehemence of opinion...a lot like Parker's did...among followers of different "periods" is due to that fundamental lack of allowing his creative self to just BE without holding on too tightly to any one part of it. I may not like where Trane's art led him, but I sure do respect his choice to take it there.
