Our Take

Ah, John Coltrane, the king of cool jazz, the maestro of the saxophone! In his album "Coltrane Plays The Blues," he takes us on a wild ride through the world of blues music like only he can.

Coltrane's virtuosity on the saxophone is on full display here, with each note he plays sending shivers down your spine and making you want to get up and dance. The way he effortlessly weaves in and out of the melodies is nothing short of mesmerising, leaving you in a trance-like state from start to finish.

The album kicks off with the soulful track "Blues to Bechet," a tribute to the legendary jazz clarinettist Sidney Bechet. Coltrane's smooth, velvety tones on this track are a joy to behold, transporting you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New Orleans.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this album - tracks like "Blues to Elvin" and "Mr. Syms" showcase Coltrane's edgier side, with frenetic saxophone solos that will leave you breathless and wanting more.

Overall, "Coltrane Plays The Blues" is a masterpiece of an album that deserves a place in every jazz lover's collection. Coltrane's impeccable musicianship and passion for the blues shine through in every track, making this a must-listen for anyone craving some soulful, toe-tapping goodness. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
