Digitally remastered by George Piros (Atlantic Studios, New York, New York).

John Coltrane's search for a fresh musical feeling--in which the front line and the rhythm section are more nearly equal--began through an exhaustive study of chords. But alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman and his acolyte Don Cherry had discovered another path by concentrating on rhythmic melodies and a polytonal brand of modality. Coltrane played with Coleman from time to time (though they never recorded), and even studied with Ornette.

THE AVANT GARDE is the fruit of their admiration for each other, but co-leader Don Cherry nearly steals the show. Originally inspired by Fats Navarro and Miles Davis, Cherry responded to Coleman's inspiration with fluttery melodic lines and tart harmonic dissonances. On THE AVANT GARDE, his minimalist melodies and witty rhythmic displacements are a perfect contrast to Coltrane's voluminous testimonies--serving to illustrate his innovations in brass phrasing. In addition, the absence of a pianist forces the bass players to carry the whole band, and its a great joy to contrast Charlie Haden's rounded tone and bouncing melodic chromaticism on "Cherryco" with Percy Heath's rhythmic drive and chordal mastery on "The Invisible." Heath had recorded with Coleman, and his brilliant blues improvisations electrify "Focus On Sanity."

Then there's the great drummer Ed Blackwell, who turns everyone out with his uncanny independence, melodic touch and joyous swing. Listen to him fill in around Coltrane's long linear testimonies and Cherry's rhythmic dipsy doodles on the joyous "Cherryco," and how ancient echoes of work songs, parades and African polyrhythms resonate through his solo. Coltrane leaps into "Focus On Sanity" like a man possessed, while Cherry answers with a feathery tone, convoluted lines and stabbing brass accents, before leading Trane through the glorious second section, with its bluesy, near-eastern modalities. On "The Blessing," Trane matches Cherry's tone with flute-like timbres on soprano saxophone, and is particularly aroused by the rhythmic slang of "The Invisible." And in a fitting nod to an old master, he and Cherry find inspiration aplenty on Monk's "Bemsha Swing."

Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch (DigiPrep).

Recorded at Atlantic Studios, New York, New York on June 28 & July 8, 1960. Originally released on Atlantic (1451). Includes liner notes by A.B. Spellman and Neil Tesser.

John Coltrane Interstellar Space CD  (1967) Remastered

Avant-Garde album
CD $10.89  5 stars Audio Samples
Before track 1 there is a fragment of music from a sound check and two false starts of "Jupiter Variation." You must rewind from track 1 to hear them. Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Universal Mastering Studios-East). These provocative duets were recorded right in between the two quartet sessions which yielded Coltrane's swan song, EXPRESSION. INTERSTELLAR SPACE is suffused with the searching fervor which distinguished Coltrane's conclusive works. Coltrane and Ali come on like a roller-coaster ride to Valhalla, playing as if their lives depended on it. The level of technical brinkmanship and emotional intensity is amazing--all the more so when you consider that Trane would be dead of liver cancer just four months later. Faced with one's own mortality, even the most faithful of servants--from ...

The title of this television-advertised compilation may be arrogant, but then the tango is not a dance for the shy and retiring. Whether or not it is, as it claims, The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever!, the two-disc set, containing 30 tracks and running a little less than an hour and a half, does feature some major performers of the music, notably Carlos Gardel, renowned as the father of the tango, heard performing "Volver" and the concluding vocal version of "Mi Buenos Aires Querido," and Astor Piazzolla, who used the tango as a vehicle for composing modern classical music, heard performing "La Rayuela." Other notable performers include Carlos Garcia & His Orchestra, heard on four tracks, Sexteto Mayor, Florindo Sassone & His Traditional Orchestra, and Alfredo de Angelis & His Traditional Orchestra. ...

John Coltrane Expression CD  (1967)

Avant-Garde CD music
CD $12.15  Audio Samples
Principally recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on February 15 and March 7, 1967. Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff. John Coltrane's work with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, his roots in Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon, and his mastery of traditional harmony granted him a musical license that other experimentalists such as Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman never enjoyed. They were always viewed as musical outsiders, whereas Coltrane's pedigree was beyond reproach. Which is why John Coltrane's death on July 17, 1967, a few months shy of his 41st birthday, was such a devastating shock to the jazz community. Coltrane had become a creative lightning rod for the new generation, and his music was synonymous with the liberating energy of the '60s. Upon his passing, a creative and spiritual void manifested itself, to be filled by cutting edge rockers such as Jimi Hendrix and Cream, and a new generation of electric jazzmen--spearheaded by many of his devotees and ...
