John Coltrane Quartet - Ballads LP

Limited edition digitally remastered CD release including seven bonus tracks. Besides achieving a very personal and characteristic sound, John Coltrane opened the way to free Jazz, allowing himself to play long and complex improvisations that increasingly strayed from the tunes in which they were based. However, even though he forced himself to continually move further away from traditional melodies and conventional music structures, he always found time (even during his final years) to record some ballads.
