I, for one, can't wait for the complete Coltrane & Hartman sessions. 13 years after that piece was published we see this release. But I would like to hear the complete and unedited (no reverb) Coltrane/Hartman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just about this record. Life in general today is all mega-hyped, that seems to be what people think is the only way to get attention for damn near anything. To the extent that they're proven right (aka damn near always), it will only intensify. Could you use a break from all that? I know I sure could. But ain't nobody asking me what I think about it, so fuck it, I'll just take a nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 In this age of immediacy, personalization, and the shortened attention span that accompanies it, you have to go extreme to try to break through the noise and get people’s attention.

There were probably a lot of conflicting rights holders, and they all had to come to a meeting of the minds. There's Naima's family (who still owned the tapes), the Coltrane estate, Universal, and who knows who else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I'd like to hear the alternates of "Out of This World" as well as the takes of "All The Things You Are." In time, I suppose, we eventually will. What I'd really like to hear are further recordings of the final quartet. (But we've been through that before. I e-mailed Cuscuna, and he lamented that tapes don't exist. But maybe Ravi has reference copies somewhere???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 The final quartet? Do you mean quintet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Yes, I do mean quintet. I was thinking of the "lost" March 29, 1967 studio recording that produced six tracks. That session, recorded around the time Expression was made, occurred without Pharoah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I wonder if they used the Giant Steps formula or some variant of it on All The Things You Are. That could get really, nicely, densely chewy, as in a lot to bite off. But they could chew it, you know they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware of that session. I agree with Guy, that would be a fun listen! Expression is one of the few quintet dates I truly love. It would be interesting to hear them as a quartet, although it likely wouldn’t sound too different since Trane and Pharoah weren’t playing at the same time all that much.

B. Clugston Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Picked up the 2 LP set. The music is wonderful and the deluxe version is worth it. Nothing deluxe about the vinyl presentation, however: the records on my copy are warped, the liner notes are on a poster you have to fold out to read and the design is oh so 2008.

Scott Dolan Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Still showing as "pre-release" on Apple Music, with only one track playable at the moment. Weird. *edit* Just checked iTunes. The download and streaming versions won't be released until Friday.

erwbol Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 The photo of the 2CD digipack I saw looked a bit flimsy, but it might not have been final. I thought I'd spend a few Euros extra and get the UHQCD instead. You know, for the ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I went for that Japanese version too. But I ordered the US single one so I can have that on release day, and I can give it to my brother (who is also a Coltrane fanatic but with two girls under ten doesn't get to buy many discs) later.

I got a replacement copy--still warped and the second LP has the same labels on each side. Musically speaking, there is some stellar Jimmy Garrison on this.
