Format:Audio CD
Ferocious and luminously beautiful free improvised duets from 1967 with Rashied Ali, swinging like crazy and actually rather acessable. Unforced and wide open, the absence of any third parties to clog the gears gives the music total freedom to breathe and swell, saxophonist Coltrane an effortless stream of soul resonanting shapes and transitions and Ali a blizzard of crashing drums. An amazing recording, with the instrument tones seamlessly stinging and billowy and the recording studio reverberating like a church.

By the time of the recordings of these pieces in 1967 John Coltrane was travelling farther and father out into the musical hinterland of free jazz. This set of recordings with drummer Rashid Ali is about as far as you can get. The music here is wild and powerful and at times violent as Ali and Coltrane at times seem to battle for the space in the music.
This is improvisation of the first order. Coltrane's playing squawks, honks, runs, and stutters its way around the clattering cachophony of Ali's frenetic drumming. Easy listening it isn't. It does seem to be a statement and it is fascinating to wonder where Coltrane would have gone next with his music beacuase listening to this you sometimes conclude that this was something of a final statement. If John Coltrane really was on some kind of musical journey it does seem, listening to this, that perhaps he had arrived.

Recorded in 1967 but not released until 1974, these duets between John Coltrane and drummer Rashied Ali may actually be the most accessible recordings that the 'free' Coltrane ever made. The longest piece runs less than twelve minutes, so there are no half-hour endurance tests. The absence of other melody or harmony instruments means that the listener can hear Coltrane's extraordinary virtuosity and sense his passionate involvement without distraction. The much-maligned Rashied Ali provides a continuous foundation and commentary that is fascinating in its own right and as valid in its way as the more metrical playing of Elvin Jones.
A cursory listen might suggest that the six pieces here are essentially variations on a theme, but in fact they all have their own characters. I came to this album something of a skeptic about late Coltrane, and have found myself listening to this repeatedly. Recommended for anybody who is prepared to listen with an open mind.

Coltranes last album, to my knowledge. One thing for sure there is a progression in Coltranes music and it comes from his spiritual journey that he willingly shares. Read more
