John Coltrane Ballads

Impulse Universal Single Layer Stereo SACD UCBU-9070

legendary jazz album in audiophile sound quality

made in Japan

new, factory sealed

Coltrane's first ballad album proved the unpleasant critics, who accused the free jazz musicians of the time of lacking skills, wrong: The "avant-gardist" Coltrane and his combo actually hit notes and mastered harmonies! The session builds on musical excerpts and well-known pieces by Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee or Ella Fitzgerald and shows the saxophonist in a quartet exploring a gentle way of playing.
