Our Take

In his latest release, "Africa / Bassin," jazz legend John Coltrane showcases his unparalleled talent and ability to push musical boundaries. The album is a dynamic fusion of African rhythms and Coltrane's signature saxophone sound, creating a truly unique listening experience.

From the opening track "Africa," listeners are transported to a vibrant and energetic musical landscape. Coltrane's saxophone soars over intricate percussion, creating a powerful and mesmerizing groove. The album effortlessly transitions into "Bassin," a more contemplative and introspective piece that showcases Coltrane's masterful technique and emotional depth.

Throughout the album, Coltrane's bandmates provide a solid foundation for his improvisations, adding layers of texture and complexity to each track. The interplay between the musicians is seamless, creating a cohesive and captivating sound that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats.

Coltrane's exploration of African musical traditions adds a fresh and exciting dimension to his already stellar discography. "Africa / Bassin" is a testament to Coltrane's innovation and creativity, solidifying his status as one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. This album is a must-listen for fans of jazz and music enthusiasts alike.
