A work that embodies Coltrane's unique spirit of exploration and the evolution of modern jazz.
An important document that shows how they were trying to speak of the blues in a new language.
The appeal of this album lies in Coltrane's treatment of the blues form not merely as a tradition, but as material for spiritual and intellectual exploration. Emotional depth and intellectual constructive power coexist, suggesting a path to the "spiritual Coltrane" that would come later.
