A quest for sublime jazz imbued with spirituality
A masterpiece that John Coltrane achieved, filled with tranquil yet powerful beauty.
His tenor saxophone on "Crescent" avoids excessive notes and instead imbues each note with deep spirituality. Together with the ironclad rhythm section including Elvin Jones, it creates a musical space that resembles prayer.
