An album released by drummer Elvin Jones and bassist Jimmy Garrison, who were part of John Coltrane's classic quartet, on Impulse! in 1964. Featuring pianist McCoy Tyner from the same quartet, it also includes strong players such as Sonny Simmons (alto saxophone, English horn), Prince Lasha (cornet, flute), and Charles Davis (baritone saxophone) in a sextet formation, recording at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in 1963. The album features mid-tempo scores like A1, written by Lasha specifically for this album, as well as ballads like A2 composed by Tyner, A3 by Davis, and Afro-jazz B1 and blues-jazz B3 by Simmons, offering a rich and diverse content. You can enjoy wonderful performances that resonate with Coltrane's spirit.
