Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:John Coltrane
Song:Feeling Good (Alternate Take)
Album:The Classic Quartet:The Complete Impulse! Studio Recordings




When we're talking about the music of John Coltrane, he recorded so much music in a short period of time that it is very difficult to cover all of it properly. This 8CD box set deals with all the studio recordings of what Impulse! calls the Classic John Coltrane Quartet. It only covers 1961-1965 so there's much more than this but it is essential to jazz fans. These recordings with John Coltrane on sax, McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass & Elvin Jones on drums are presented in chronological order so you can follow the growth of Tyner on these recordings. Once again, it's a big box set in a metal box but a must for any Coltrane fan.
