John Coltrane - Ballads

John Coltrane - Ballads

“With Ballads Coltrane looks into the warmer side of things, a path he would take with both Johnny Hartman and with Duke Ellington. Here he lays out for McCoy Tyner mostly, and the results positively shimmer at times. He’s not aggressive. Instead he’s introspective and at times even predictable, but that is precisely Ballads’ draw.” (Sam Samuelson
