About

- A TAV Essential Listening Album -

A seminal 1963 collaboration between the sublime tenor saxophone of the legendary John Coltrane and the smoky-hued baritone of Johnny Hartman's voice. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio in New Jersey alongside pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones - Hartman and Coltrane proceeded to craft one of the lushest and most poignant ballad albums ever to grace the American jazz cannon.

Featuring six subtle yet vividly dramatised renditions of classics such as “My One and Only Love” and “Lush Life”, this dreamy and romantic 31-minute collection is a prized jewel on Impulse! Records’ impressive catalogue. A superb album of lyrical beauty and sophisticated melodies that continues to leave an indelible mark over a half century later.  — The Analog Vault
