John Coltrane - 'Coltrane' [Impulse! AS-21] (1962) torrent

Considered by many to be his finest single album, “Coltrane” (Impulse! AS-21, 1962) finds John Coltrane displaying all of the exciting elements that sparked brilliance and allowed his fully formed instrumental voice to shine through in the most illuminating manner. On tenor saxophone, he's simply masterful, offering the burgeoning sheets of sound philosophy into endless weavings of melodic and tuneful displays of inventive, thoughtful, driven phrases. Coltrane also plays a bit of soprano saxophone as a primer for his more exploratory work to follow.
“Coltrane” historically falls between the albums “Olé Coltrane” and “Impressions” - completing a triad of studio efforts that are as definitive as anything Coltrane ever produced, and highly representative of him in his prime.
