John Coltrane - Essential Coltrane - Special Edition 180-Gram Red Colored Vinyl - VINYL LP

2013 EP from Why? the Wolf brothers' Pop-inflected Psychedelic Folk-Hop was nominally referred to as Hip-Hop at the beginning of their career. At this point certainly on Golden Tickets the project has outgrown any easy genre-categorization. With the musical eclecticism, Pop-twist, and experimental bent of artists like the Flaming Lips or Beck. Why? shimmers on this album in vibraphone stippled, sweetly riffed songs with characteristically gut-wrenching subtext.

The year 1958 represented a transitional period in John Coltrane's musical career. He had first joined the Miles Davis Quintet in 1955 and would form his own celebrated quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in 1960. In the intervening years, he overcame his narcotics addiction and began to expand on his own musical ideas while experimenting with both the Thelonious Monk Quartet and the Miles Davis Sextet (featuring Bill Evans and Cannonball Adderley). He also recorded studio sessions with other musicians and presented his own albums during this period. Among them were many quartet sides, all of them featuring Red Garland on piano and Paul Chambers on bass. These quartets were, in many ways, the predecessors of the 1960 John Coltrane Quartet, and Soultrane, is a good example of this. 180-GRAM COLORED RED VINYL - THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 1 BONUS TRACK - Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer BRIAN MORTON and by Paris' prestigious JAZZ MAGAZINE.
