(C) 1991 GRP Records Inc.   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info The John Coltrane Quartet: John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (bass); Elvin Jones (drums). Additional personnel: Johnny Hartman (vocals); Duke Ellington (piano); Aaron Bell (bass); Sam Woodyard, Roy Haynes (drums). Recorded at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. According to the album's liner notes, THE GENTLE SIDE OF JOHN COLTRANE was assembled "to display the more lyrical and gentle side of the man's art," and it does just that. A collection of mostly mellow tracks recorded between 1961 and 1964, this record is a perfect choice for those who have never been able to "get" Coltrane's later, more experimental work, or newbies who are not quite ready for the cerebral qualities of straight hard bop. In addition to a selection of excellent recordings featuring the classic Coltrane lineup of Mcoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones, there are also two tracks from Coltrane's historic 1962 album with Duke Ellington. These performances remind the listener that Ellington, while best remembered as a composer, was a gifted pianist who always cut right to the emotional heart of the music. Also included are songs from Coltrane's collaboration with vocalist Johnny Hartman and several lovely tunes in the "tone poem" vein, including the gorgeous and sad "After the Rain." Wrapping things up is "I Want to Talk About You," a good live example of the famous Coltrane "sheets of sound"--just in case anyone was getting too relaxed.   Compilation Appearances Love Jones (Explicit Version) Priceless Jazz Sampler Instrumental History Of Jazz Riverside Records Story Collection 1947-72 Tenor Sax Ballads Best Blue Note Album In The Wo Ken Burns Jazz-Story Of America Very Best Of Christmas Jazz Classic Jazz Jazzlegends Black & Proud Savoy At 60 American Splendor Award Winning Original Artists Nea Jazz Masters A-Z Encyclopedia Of Ja696 Jazz Moods: sounds Of Spring Best Blue Note Album In The World Number 1 Jazz Vocal Album / Various (can) Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Impulsive Prestige Profiles Prestige Profiles Prestige Profiles Prestige Profiles Prime For Lovers Chet Baker John Coltrane NICKY'S JAZZ LULLABIES Kings Of Jazz House That Trane Built: Story of Impulse Records Mastercuts Jazz Cafe Coltrane Traneing In Zodiac / O.s.t.
