John Coltrane 'Crescent' (Impulse, orange label, mono)

Have that same issue. It was the first Trane I bought, and I remember being somewhat surprised and disappointed that the playing wasn't further out. I had heard Ornette at that point and expected some of the same from John Coltrane. After a bit, I heard more Coltrane and came to appreciate Crescent. And "further out" Trane wasn't far away.

[clifford_thornton]

Lovely record - I started with the "out" Trane and came to appreciate the "in" (or moreso anyway) Trane a bit more, actually.

[BillF]

Always thought Crescent was a superlative album, certainly among the top handful of Trane's many discs.

Horace Silver- Song for my father- BN MM 45 rpm issue, sounds very good and way better than my McMaster CD ( which I'll be keeping for the extra tracks etc)

I find Crescent more "out there" than Ornette's output around then.

[Chuck Nessa]

Always thought Crescent was a superlative album, certainly among the top handful of Trane's many discs.

Better (for me) than Love Supreme.

Mark Helias: Split Image (Enja)

Only the mono original can match it. A very good reissue !

[brownie]

Jimmy Witherspoon 'Roots' (Reprise, mono, promotional copy white label)

'featuring Ben Webster'

[brownie]

Agree. Fresh listening to Crescent brings new perspectives to the quartet's playing. It was at its creative peak by then.

As much as I enjoy A Love Supreme, repeated listening emphasize the contemplative aspects of the musicians' improvisations.

[MartyJazz]

Speaking of Trane, enjoy very much Wes' cooking rendition of "Impressions" on this live 2-LP set recorded in Paris, March '65.

Okay, feel free to mock me about this one:

Bobby Hackett Plays the Great Music of Henry Mancini (Epic stereo)

I sometimes like to pull out one of these "bachelor pad jazz" albums. This is a good one. The tunes and arrangements are pretty corny; Hackett plays great.
