Our Take

John Coltrane's "Plays The Blues" is a mesmerizing journey through the legendary saxophonist's exploration of the blues genre. From the opening notes of "Blues to Bechet" to the soulful strains of "Mr. Knight," Coltrane's virtuosity shines through on every track.

One of the standout moments on the album is the hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Blues Legacy," where Coltrane's saxophone weaves a tapestry of emotion that is impossible to ignore. The interplay between Coltrane and his fellow musicians is nothing short of magical, with each member of the ensemble bringing their own unique voice to the table.

Throughout the album, Coltrane's playing is both technically impressive and emotionally resonant. His tone is rich and full, his phrasing is impeccable, and his improvisational skills are second to none. It's no wonder that he is considered one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.

Overall, "Plays The Blues" is a must-listen for any fan of jazz music. Coltrane's genius is on full display here, and it's impossible not to be moved by the sheer beauty of his playing. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
