“[…]After producer Norman Granz introduces the group, the classic John Coltrane quartet performs a hard-swinging version of “Mr. P.C,” (which gives each of the musicians an opportunity to solo), a relatively concise “Everytime We Say Goodbye” (the only number that is under 15 minutes), “Impressions” and “My Favorite Things.” While the performances do not offer any new revelations about Coltrane and his sidemen, those fans who love his music and want new versions of his repertoire will particularly enjoy this fine outing, available from www.fremeaux.com. All of the musicians get to stretch out with John Coltrane in typically brilliant form on tenor and soprano, making this a fine addition to his large discography.
