Our Take

If there's one word to describe John Coltrane's "Ballads" album, it's like wrapping yourself in a warm, musical blanket on a rainy Sunday afternoon. This reissue, complete with a bonus track and a CD digi-pack, is a must-have for any jazz aficionado.

Coltrane's saxophone skills are on full display here, weaving through each track with a delicate precision that is breathtaking. The album opens with the dreamy "Say It (Over and Over Again)", setting the tone for the rest of the journey.

Tracks like "You Don't Know What Love Is" and "Too Young to Go Steady" showcase Coltrane's ability to take a standard ballad and transform it into a work of art. His improvisational skills are truly unparalleled, taking the listener on a musical rollercoaster that never disappoints.

But it's the bonus track, "All or Nothing at All", that steals the show. This standout addition is a perfect complement to the already stellar lineup of tracks, adding an extra layer of depth and emotion to an already incredible album.

Overall, "Ballads" is a shining example of Coltrane's genius and a must-listen for any fan of jazz music. So grab a cup of tea, sink into your favourite armchair, and let Coltrane's soothing melodies wash over you in all their glory.
