CD Reviews

Perfect Combo! Spectacular recording!
JoeyD | los gatos, ca | 02/03/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"These classic albums Coltrane did for Impulse are some of my personal favorites (i.e. 'John Coltane w/ Johnny Hartman', 'Ballads', and 'Ascension') of all the jazz recordings I own on either CD or Vinyl. This one is a beauty! Every song on this album is perfect. So many times two greats would meet and cut an album of less than superior quality. This is definitely not one of those cases. From the moment the first song 'In a Sentimental Mood' comes on you are taken on a magical journey that truly showcases just how brilliant these artists were as musicians and composers. Of course it's always great to have such a fine rythm section backing you up - Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones (awesome as always!), Aaron Bell, Sam Woodward, ... all playing at their best. If you are a fan of Ellington and/or Coltrane than obviously this is a must have album. All in all, it's just fun, exciting music that gives you a warm, cushy feeling inside every time you listen to it. Those of you who are relatively new to jazz, this is a must have. You won't be disappointed I promise."
Get Sentimental Mood and Brown Book
Bill Staley | Santa Monica, CA USA | 12/04/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This version of In a Sentimental Mood is incredible. Just pure, heartbreaking beauty. The drummer goes to kind of a weird Time Out kind of place, but he comes back and ends it nicely. The best dollar you will ever spend.



Brown Book is also great. Coltrane sounds like Johnny Hodges, Duke's regular sax player, and that's a GOOD thing.



On the other tunes, Duke is exquisite on piano, the bass and drums are nice, but ... Coltrane is melodic and perfect for 30 or 60 seconds and then he goes off to his atonal genius place where I cannot follow or listen."
Very fine.

"ah, ellington and coltrane. two of my favorites. here they produced a very fine set of jazz, indeed. this disc has a bit more bite than the ellington and johnny hodges duo albums, but the bite is tame by coltrane's usual standards. coltrane is more restrained here than is usual, but that tone remains a spellbinder. while this is not amongst the very best work that either of these gentlemen have done, it is an album that any jazz fan would do well to acquire."
