Description
Impulse!, 1963
By the end of 1961, Coltranes headlong rush into new territory had caused some critics to question whether he was even playing jazz at all. Ballads is often seen as a riposte to those short-sighted criticisms. Here, Coltranes quartet interpret a selection of mellow tunes from the Great American Songbook with poise, delicacy and an ear for beauty. Recorded with minimal preparation or rehearsal, and with all but one of the tracks perfected in a single take, the album reveals an astonishingly sensitive group interplay, with pianist McCoy Tyner adding warm shades and colours to Coltranes ever-searching, heartfelt lyricism.
