Title: Late Quartet Beauty
Review: It's amazing how people will sob that "this doesn't sound like Giant Steps..." so therefore it's bad?I think Steller Regions is quite different, but very lyrical and very pretty. Just listen to Seraphic Light or Stellar Regions! John Coltrane's playing is sweet, not angry. And Alice provides the perfect, colorful backdrop for him. Rashied Ali too plays with remarkable restraint as well.There are a few moments (Tranesonic) where your eardrums will explode, but on a whole, Stellar Regions is quite calm and meditative. Don't be fooled by the closed minded fools who wrote in with 1 or 2 stars just because the album sounds different. Sure, you won't be snapping your fingers or tapping your feet... in fact, you'll have trouble sometimes identifying any sort of traditional rhythms. But music doesn't always have to adhere to the traditional, white, european rules to be good. Be adventurous. Get the album.
