John Coltrane - John Coltrane Quartet Plays (Acoustic Sounds Series)

Recorded in two sessions just a few months after working on A Love Supreme, The John Coltrane Quartet Plays makes for a perfect introduction to Coltrane's final period as a leader. Though Art Davis plays second bass on "Nature Boy," the classic quartet of Coltrane with McCoy Tyner (piano), Elvin Jones (drums) and Jimmy Garrison (bass) is at full heat, leaning hard into more free improvisation with a matter-of-fact confidence that will become more normalized over his concluding two years.

The Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series, seeks to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded. Utilizing the skills of the top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings, all titles will be mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on heavyweight vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. in high-quality tip-on gatefold jackets.
