Without a doubt, this is a must-have in every jazz collection. John Coltrane influenced almost every jazz saxophone player on the planet and this is one of his key albums. Pure hard bop, copied often, but this is the real thing.. Here's the whole album:
Many young jazz players think that it was all recorded at once which might be true, but they forget that extensive touring preceded the recordings They might not have been rehearsing so much but when playing together for months every day they were shaping their band sound and getting to know each other's reflexes and musical language. To me this album is a great example of acoustic jazz with a playful rhythm section and storytelling soloists. I love Lee Morgan's trumpet solos. A true gem from the fifties.

This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
