Title: Very un-Coltrane
Product review: For a tribute to JC made up of his compositions, nothing could sound more unlike him - and that's okay. After all, what would be the point? Mr. Tyner has evolved as an artist, and Mr. Foster is stylistically worlds apart from Elvin Jones. Nevertheless, when I listen to these renditions, an inevitable comparison is invoked with the originals, and the element I find missing is the glue that the very unsung Jimmy Garrison provided. George Mraz just leaves me cold. He has more chops than the majority of bassists, but to me he's technically overwrought, and I strongly dislike that thin, transducer-enhanced tone. For lack of a better word, I miss a certain "organic" ingredient that I found in the original recordings.
