Our Take

John Coltrane, the almighty saxophone virtuoso, has once again blessed us with his divine musical prowess in "Plays The Blues - Expanded Edition." It's like he's whispering sweet nothings in your ear, but instead of words, it's a tantalising saxophone solo.

This expanded edition takes you on a journey through the heart and soul of the blues, with Coltrane's mesmerising improvisations at the forefront. The album is like a warm hug on a cold winter's day - comforting, soothing, and oh so satisfying.

From the soulful "Blues to Bechet" to the fiery "Blues to Elvin," Coltrane showcases his unparalleled talent and versatility. It's like he's playing a game of musical chess, constantly one step ahead of his audience, keeping us on our toes and begging for more.

The additional tracks on this edition are like sprinkles on top of an already delicious sundae - they complement the original album perfectly, adding depth and dimension to Coltrane's already impeccable sound.

In conclusion, "Plays The Blues - Expanded Edition" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. John Coltrane continues to reign supreme as one of the greatest musicians of all time, and this album is further proof of his genius. So grab a glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let Coltrane take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
