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.

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

Better (for me) than Love Supreme.

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.
