JOHN COLTRANE QUARTET The John Coltrane Quartet Plays (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series 2025 limited edition 4-track stereo LP, mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from original analogue tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl atQuality Record Pressings. A seminal Impulse! session from 1965, The John Coltrane Quartet Plays captures Coltrane pushing beyond the spiritual blaze of A Love Supreme into fiercer, more exploratory territory - without losing thequartet's trademark poise and interplay. With McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums) - plus Art Davis adding a second bass on "Nature Boy" - the group balances lyricism and intensity across four expansive performances: a foreboding take on "Chim Chim Cheree," the meditative standard "Nature Boy," and the Coltrane originals "Brazilia" and "Song Of Praise." Gatefold tip-on jacket picture sleeve, hype sticker and factory sealed inside its perforated loose bag. Recommended)
