John Coltrane Quartet - Ballads (Acoustic Sounds Series)

This quartet (John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones) was formed in 1961. The intense passionate Coltrane interpretation of standards such as "All Or Nothing At All," "What's New," "It's Easy To Remember" and the Sinatra classic "Nancy (With The Laughing Face)" are the essence of 1963's Ballads.

A giant of modern jazz. Coltrane played in Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra, with Eddie Vinson's band and most notably with Miles Davis. He inspired and influenced many younger musicians with his distinctive and often adventurous playing.
