This is one of the most highly underrated entries in Coltranes voluminous
catalog. Although the same overwhelming attention bestowed upon My Favorite
Things was not given to Coltranes Sound upon its initial release, both were
actually recorded during the same three-day period in the fall of 1960. So
prolific were those recording dates, they informed no less than five different
Coltrane albums on Atlantic. The title could not have been more accurate, as
each of the six pieces bear the unmistakable and indelible stamp of Coltranes
early-60s style. The Night Has a Thousand Eyes and Body and Soul (the only
tracks not penned by Coltrane) are given unique and distinctive voices.
Animating the arrangements on these sessions were Coltrane (soprano/tenor sax),
Steve Davis (bass), Elvin Jones (drums), and McCoy Tyner (piano). Its perhaps
Tyners recollection of the quartet as four pistons in an engine that most aptly
explains the singular drive heard during Coltranes extended runs on Liberia.
Tyner flawlessly complements Coltrane with full resonating chords that cling to
his volley of sound. The rhythmic gymnastics of percussionist Jones is also
showcased as his double-jointed bop swing and military band precision are
distinctly displayed on the blues Equinox. The opening six bars give Jones a
chance to make a contrasting statement -- which he takes full advantage of.
Regardless of the lack of attention, these recordings remain among Tranes
finest.
