{"product_id":"john-coltrane-coltranes-sound","title":"John Coltrane – Coltrane's Sound","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the most highly underrated entries in Coltrane's voluminous catalog. Although the same overwhelming attention bestowed upon My Favorite Things was not given to Coltrane's Sound upon its initial release, both were actually recorded during the same three-day period in the fall of 1960. So prolific were those recording dates, they informed no less than five different Coltrane albums on Atlantic. The title could not have been more accurate, as each of the six pieces bear the unmistakable and indelible stamp of Coltrane's early-'60s style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Night Has a Thousand Eyes\" and \"Body and Soul\" (the only tracks not penned by Coltrane) are given unique and distinctive voices. Animating the arrangements on these sessions were Coltrane (soprano\/tenor sax), Steve Davis (bass), Elvin Jones (drums), and McCoy Tyner (piano). It's perhaps Tyner's recollection of the quartet as \"four pistons in an engine\" that most aptly explains the singular drive heard during Coltrane's extended runs on \"Liberia.\" Tyner flawlessly complements Coltrane with full resonating chords that cling to his volley of sound. The rhythmic gymnastics of percussionist Jones is also showcased as his double-jointed bop swing and military band precision are distinctly displayed on the blues \"Equinox.\" The opening six bars give Jones a chance to make a contrasting statement — which he takes full advantage of. Regardless of the lack of attention, these recordings remain among Trane's finest. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/coltranes-sound-mw0000604247?__cf_chl_f_tk=bhfmfTHa7QNAGhqi5vHKEI77IveLrNbc5_BPr19df6w-1783073099-1.0.1.1-qjtKi5LluW4yUhhK9MNOzQv.EZtXElvBweVjLauxLVY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis John Coltrane album is an average one for him. By that I mean it is excellent because the man was one of the finest horn players of all time and he just didn’t record substandard material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn certainly kept high-caliber company. The musicians that took part in this endeavor were none other than McCoy Tyner on piano, Elvin Jones on drums and Steve Davis on double bass. That lineup alone should tell you volumes about what “Coltrane’s Sound” contains. It’s such a pleasure to hear gifted artists working in harmony to produce the finest music they can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColtrane’s Sound is just splendid jazz music and nothing else needs to be added to that assessment. I will add that recordings like this one point out the fact that the improvements in home hi-fi equipment in that era really worked in jazz music’s favor. The studio engineers were able to capture the essence of small bands like John’s clearly because there was no need for overdubs or technical effects to get in the way of the music and that honesty translated well when reproduced in living rooms all across the planet. Half a century has passed and now we listen to the likes of Coltrane on tiny Ipods but that uncorrupted purity still comes across without hindrance. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jazzmusicarchives.com\/review\/coltranes-sound\/237865?__cf_chl_f_tk=UQiEXq50JlckUj0COlg2hnz3aH7qn4V8dEvcdP.cWkE-1783073097-1.0.1.1-sJZqEPIWYE3a9.JJukbfl5W.C5Cq.rmnUkrCDa3.U4s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJazz Music Archives\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— 180g Mono pressing, cut from analog tape\u003cbr\u003e— Part of the Rhino Reserve series\u003cbr\u003e— Housed in heavyweight gatefold jacket \u003cbr\u003e— Features alternate art from the original french pressing\u003cbr\u003e— Includes exclusive insert With notes by Syd Schwartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ioPRCwpB1Ak?si=DXGzCPKCiQqOZXwd\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4azzupZwiy4?si=WX09R-ONdbN5DWCM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Rhino Records \/ Atlantic \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Mono, 180g, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2026 \/ Originally Released: 1964\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Jazz - John Coltrane\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhino Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47932266381470,"sku":"081227807900","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/Screenshot-2026-07-03-181704.png?v=1783074844","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/john-coltrane-coltranes-sound","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
