A Love Supreme

A Love Supreme (1964) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Easily one of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing that at once compiled all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years (sadly, those would be his last). Recorded at the end of 1964, Trane's ...

Gold (2006) more music like this

by John Coltrane

John Coltrane presents several challenges to anyone trying to compile "an introductory collection" of his recordings, as annotator Ashley Kahn describes this 125-minute, two-disc set. Coltrane recorded prolifically; he recorded for several different record labels that, despite decades of corporate mergers and takeovers, remained separate as of ...

A Love Supreme [2002 Deluxe Edition]

A Love Supreme [2002 Deluxe Edition] (2002) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Inevitably, certain jazz titles will be reissued over and over. Miles Davis' seminal Kind of Blue has been reissued many times, and you can safely assume that A Love Supreme will continue to be a decent seller (by jazz standards) as long as it keeps getting reissued. What separates this deluxe 2002 reissue of the John Coltrane classic from all of ...

The House That Trane Built: Best of Impulse Records

The House That Trane Built: Best of Impulse Records (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Given that these tracks were taken from the four-disc box set House That Trane Built: Best of Impulse Records to accompany Ashley Kahn's excellent book of the same name, it is difficult to place this music in context given its diversity (a goal from the jump at Impulse). It does give an overview of the avant-garde side of the label with tracks by ...

Priceless Jazz (1997) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Priceless Jazz Collection is a budget-priced compilation that intends to give neophytes an affordable introduction to John Coltrane's Impulse! recordings.

The Very Best of John Coltrane [Impulse]

The Very Best of John Coltrane [Impulse] (2001) more music like this

by John Coltrane

This isn't the first CD that has had the title The Very Best of John Coltrane, and one can safely assume that it won't be the last. The focus of this 74-minute collection is Coltrane's Impulse output -- specifically, modal post-bop that he recorded from 1961-1964. The disc doesn't get into the blistering atonal free jazz he embraced from 1965-1967 ...

The Impulse Story

The Impulse Story (2006) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Budget-line, one-disc compilations documenting a particular recording artist's contributions to a label are a dime-a-dozen. They are, in many cases, tossed off for quick sale. The Impulse Story series provides an exception to that all-too-frequent rule. In fact, the series is accompanying the publication of Ashley Kahn's book's The House That ...

Spiritual [Impulse] (1962) more music like this

by John Coltrane

In the standard process of reissue/repackage, Impluse! put together an eight-track compilation of John Coltrane numbers together under the Spiritual title and theme. The job must have seemed pretty easy since just about everything he recorded for the label could be considered in the spiritual order. The real problem, therefore, became deciding ...

Big Band Trane (1995) more music like this

by Bob Mintzer Big Band

When one hears of an album titled Big Band Trane, it is assumed that the music will either be of songs by John Coltrane orchestrated for a full big band or pieces performed in his style. As it turns out, the Bob Mintzer Big Band only plays three tunes that have anything to do with the great tenor ("My Favorite Things," "A Love Supreme ...

The Impulse! Albums, Vol. 2 (2008) more music like this

by John Coltrane

This second volume in Universal/Impulse's reissuing of the albums of John Coltrane contains some choice titles. For those who love the early Impulse Trane, there is certainly something here for you in the John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman collection of ballads. There's also the excellent quartet era with Live at Birdland, Crescent, and the seminal ...

The Classic Quartet: Complete Impulse! Studio Recordings (1998) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Here it is: eight CDs worth of John Coltrane's classic quartet, comprised of bassist Jimmy Garrison, pianist McCoy Tyner, and drummer Elvin Jones, recorded between December of 1961 and September of 1965 when the artist followed his restless vision and expanded the band before assembling an entirely new one before his death. What transpired over ...

The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records is a four-disc set, compiled and annotated by author Ashley Kahn who wrote the book of the same name being published concurrently with its release.

This is no less than the fourth Very Best of John Coltrane since 2000. Three of them were issued in the U.S. and this one, issued under the UNI International umbrella in Japan, on Impulse of course, is a double-disc offering that completely covers the Impulse period in its track list.

Sheets of Sound (2002) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Basically this is a John Coltrane live date from near the end of the original quartet's tenure (most likely recorded in Europe). It contains two discs. The first is a live, burning rendition of "A Love Supreme" (all four parts), and some other tunes, such as "Mr. PC," "Autumn Leaves" "Bye Bye Blackbird," and "I Want to Talk About You." The modal ...

Octet Plays Trane (2000) more music like this

by David Murray

Tenor saxophonist David Murray and his octet rise to the challenge of performing five classic John Coltrane compositions not by playing note-for-note recreations but by allowing Trane's searching spirit to dominate the proceedings. Murray shines on all tracks, switching between tenor and bass clarinet. The octet featuring pianist D.D. Jackson, ...
