Performance: Sonics: |
I think Universal Japan did a great job with this new sacd. Some fans of Coltrane complain that there are to many ballads on this album but this is what makes it so enjoyable. Whats wrong with romantic sax playing??? Coltrane was a master of such things. Many of the songs on this album are released in the best of coltrane discs.
There is tape hiss heard on this transfer but because of this the sound is so much more alive and real. There is no clipping or reduction in the sound at all. Coltranes sax is rendered beautifully here. At times the drumming, while reserved crackles into sudden life. The bass is solid and anchors the ballads beautifully.
This is a very relaxing but beautifully created album and it is transferred most gorgeously on this new shm-sacd.
Highly Recommended. Very romantic music here.
