Its Quality Record Pressings plant is delivering the best vinyl discs to be found, its jackets and cover reproduction quality have hit new levels, and it continues to have the best in the biz - such as Kevin Gray for this series (25 mono LPs from the Prestige label's exceptional late-50s run) cut lacquers from original analog master tapes. ... \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoultrane\u003c\/em\u003e finds Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor behind the kit, and the music is mostly driving jazz. Sonics here are also excellent, with a clear, solid presence and a nice, fat saxophone sound. Here's a case where I had an earlier Analogue Productions 45 RPM pressing at hand, and to my surprise the new edition is more transparent and detailed, with a greater sense of air and 'bloom' around the instruments.\" — Wayne Garcia, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Absolute Sound\u003c\/em\u003e, December 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis album continued the reinforcement of Coltrane’s importance as a stylist.

The Garland–Paul Chambers–Arthur Taylor rhythm section is a perfect accompanying unit for Trane who, by this time, was acknowledged to be — along with Sonny Rollins — one of the two most influential tenor saxophonists in jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoultrane\u003c\/em\u003e opens with an exploration at length of \"Good Bait,\" a Tadd Dameron-Count Basie collaboration, first recorded by Dizzy Gillespie in the 1940s. The way Coltrane plays the turns in the melody gives it a slight minuet flavor, complimented by solos by Garland and Chambers in the same, solid groove. \"I Want To Talk About You\" is a ballad written and originally recorded by Billy Eckstine in the mid-1940s. It’s entirely new to jazz interpretation.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSide Two opens with a Joe Stein-Leo Robin tune, \"You Say You Care,\" never heard before this in a jazz context. Trane makes the most of chord changes in a swinging, medium-up setting. \"Theme For Ernie\" is a smoldering ballad dedicated by Philadelphian Freddie Lacey to Ernie Henry, the ex-Gillespie alto saxophonist who died suddenly in December 1957. Red begins the final track \"Russian Lullaby\" with an out-of-tempo introduction before Coltrane comes ripping in. Taking this and Coltrane’s prior interpretation of \"Soft Lights And Sweet Music,\" it seems as though the boys like to play their Irving Berlin at high velocity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBecause of the astounding Coltrane solo works that both precede and follow \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoultrane\u003c\/em\u003e — most notably \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLush Life\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Blue Train\u003c\/em\u003e — \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll Music Guide\u003c\/em\u003e says this album has \"perhaps not been given the exclusive attention it so deserves.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginally released in 1958\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJohn Coltrane, tenor saxophone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRed Garland, piano\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaul Chambers, bass\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArt Taylor, drums \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666557546828,"sku":"753088714238","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/dupe6044_AAPJ_7142__10706__01152009112608-7204.jpg?v=1770373398","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/john-coltrane-soultrane-mono-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
