Our Take

Ah, the smooth, silky sounds of John Coltrane Quartet's "Ballads" album. This digi release is like slipping into a warm bath after a long day of dealing with pretentious music snobs (we see you, Chad).

Coltrane's saxophone skills are on full display here, weaving effortlessly through each ballad like a master storyteller. McCoy Tyner's piano accompaniment adds just the right amount of flavour, while Jimmy Garrison on bass and Elvin Jones on drums provide a solid foundation for the quartet's musical explorations.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Say It (Over and Over Again)" to the melancholic "Too Young to Go Steady," each track on this album is a testament to Coltrane's exceptional talent and emotional depth. You can almost feel the heartache and longing seeping through every note.

But fear not, dear reader, this is not just a collection of sad songs to drown your sorrows in. There is a sense of hope and resilience in Coltrane's playing, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light.

So, grab a glass of your finest whiskey, dim the lights, and let the John Coltrane Quartet serenade you into a state of blissful relaxation. "Ballads" may not be a groundbreaking, avant-garde masterpiece, but it is a comforting embrace in a world gone mad. Trust us, you won't regret taking a moment to escape into this musical sanctuary.
