Info zu Trane: The Atlantic Collection (Remastered)

An introduction to John Coltrane’s revered Atlantic recordings. Trane: The Atlantic Collection includes the hit single ‘My Favorite Things,’ the iconic ‘Giant Steps, Naimi’ and more, from the ‘heavyweight champion’ of the jazz world. The album features unique artwork, audio remastered for this release, and a new liner notes essay by Ben Ratliff, former NY Times jazz critic, & author of the 2007 biography ‘Coltrane: The Story of a Sound.’

„While there have been several John Coltrane Atlantic years compilations, the 2017 single-disc anthology Trane: The Atlantic Collection is one of the most concise and useful introductions to the legendary saxophonist. Focusing on the years 1959 to 1961, Trane: The Atlantic Collection offers up a thumbnail sketch of Coltrane just as he entered the first truly individualistic stage of his career. Previously, he had primarily made his mark as a sideman with trumpeter Miles Davis, with whom he had just recorded the landmark Kind of Blue, when he signed with Atlantic. Backed by a formidable cadre of musicians, at times including pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones, Coltrane embarked on a creatively fruitful period in which he recorded some of his most influential original pieces, including the innovative "Giant Steps," the sun-dappled ballad "Naima," and the groove-oriented "Cousin Mary." It was also dichotomously the time in which he scored one of his biggest hits with his entrancing soprano sax-led reading of "My Favorite Things," included here in its condensed 45-rpm version. We also get his expansive, bluesy, early attempt at spiritual jazz "Equinox" and musically thematic follow-up to "Giant Steps," the languid "Central Park West." Also useful are writer Ben Ratliff's insightful liner notes, which help frame the moment and put Coltrane's Atlantic years in context to what came before and after. Ultimately, while there are certainly more extensive Coltrane sets (The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings comes to mind), Trane: The Atlantic Collection is a welcome primer highlighting one of the saxophonist's most compelling periods.“ (Matt Collar, AMG)
