Title: Late Coltrane of a poor standard
Review: I found this CD to be one of the least impressive ever by the great tenor John Coltrane. This reissue finds him in the studio not long prior to his death. The songs are of a solid standard, however Coltrane's screaming and screeching at the higher pitches is disruptive and quite simply non-musical. Alice Coltrane on piano however is breath of fresh air, backing the sax work quite brilliantly. The drumming and bass work is also quite advanced. Prehaps I have been a little hard on Coltrane's performance here judging upon other reviews. However the two stars remain and I issue a sincere warning to the casual jazz listener.
Is the review positive or negative?
