Negative Positive
Title: Not for everyone
Review: As a fan of jazz from the 50's and 60's, I keep trying to like this piece. Many of Coltrane's phrases repeat the same notes over and over. This can be clever once in a while, but over and over, it's just annoying. The first number is torture if you like melodic music. There's no connection between the phasing and the rhythm. Again, is this supposed to be clever? If you subscribe to the idea that "weird is genious", then you may like this CD.There are many sax players from this period who have better tone and phrasing. Coltrane's tone is like listening to someone sing while holding their nose.
Is the review positive or negative?
