The complicated rhythm patterns and diverse sonic textures on Olé are
evidence that John Coltrane was once again charting his own course. His sheer
ability as a maverick — over and beyond his appreciable musical skills
— guides works such as this to new levels, ultimately advancing the
entire art form. Historically, its worth noting that recording had already
commenced — two days prior to this session — on Africa/Brass,
Coltranes debut for the burgeoning Impulse! label. The two discs complement each
other, suggesting a shift in the larger scheme of Coltranes musical motifs. The
assembled musicians worked within a basic quartet setting, featuring Coltrane
(soprano/tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), and Elvin Jones (drums), with
double-bass chores held down by Art Davis and Reggie Workman. Added to that are
significant contributions and interactions with Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) and
Eric Dolphy (flute and alto sax). Dolphys contract with another record label
prevented him from being properly credited on initial pressings of the album.
The title track is striking in its resemblance to the Spanish influence heard on
Miles Davis Sketches of Spain. This is taken a bit further as Coltranes combo
stretches out with inspired improvisations from Dolphy, Hubbard, Tyner, and
Coltrane, respectively. Olé likewise sports some amazing double-bass
interaction. The combination of a bowed upright bass played in tandem with the
same instrument that is being plucked has a sinister permeation that assuredly
excited Coltrane, who was perpetually searching from outside the norms. The
haunting beauty of Aisha stands as one of the finest collaborative efforts
between Tyner — the songs author — and Coltrane. The solos from
Hubbard, Dolphy, and an uncredited Tyner gleam from within the context of a
single facet in a multi-dimensional jewel. [A U.K. reissue was also available.]
