Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 30 Report Posted March 30 Pharoah Sanders - Crescent With Love (Evidence). Playing disc 1 now. The opening track could turn off some, as Sanders' take on 'Lonnie's Lament' is a very direct imitation of Trane's version, with William Henderson doing a superb imitation of McCoy as well. While I appreciate this, others will probably "Been there, done that" this type of approach. In context, as a ballad collection highlighting Coltrane tunes, I think it fits. And FWIW, I could also see someone thinking 2 CDs of ballads could get boring. But there is a time & place for discs like these and as I sit down to dinner with my wife, this time & this place is one of those. I'd also add that I appreciate that Evidence toned these Venus dates down for their CDs. Venus CDs are mastered really loud. Quote
