Artist:John Coltrane
Song:Impressions
Album:The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings
Because the recordings from these sessions are spread out over several releases, this 4CD box set is probably the best way to get them. Mostly it features the "Classic" John Coltrane quartet; John Coltrane-tenor sax, McCoy Tyner-piano, Jimmy Garrison-bass, Elvin Jones-drums. Eric Dolphy also appears on alto sax on some songs. Impressions features the quartet and is a tremendous performance. Considering that John Coltrane died at age 40 of liver cancer in 1967, he has had more impact than any musician in jazz history.
