The record
Shelved for over fifty years, this studio date sits between 'Ballads' and 'A Love Supreme,' rough-edged and alive with possibility. Multiple takes of the same tunes let you hear the quartet building its language in real time rather than presenting it finished.
Session personnel
- Jimmy Garrison — bass
- Elvin Jones — drums
- McCoy Tyner — piano
- John Coltrane — tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone
