About This Item
Ballads, released in 1963, is a landmark album by the John Coltrane Quartet, recorded for the Impulse! tag. In contrast to Coltrane's famously intense and exploratory style, the album showcases his lyrical and tender side through a collection of well-known and obscure jazz standards. It features the classic quartet lineup of John Coltrane on saxophone, McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums. Album Tracks 1. Say It (Over and Over Again) 2.
