“Coltrane’s sound is like nothing else. It is wild, furious, dissonant, scornful of conventional rules of harmonics, indifferent about melody. It also is the most influential sound in modern jazz. Many other instrumentalists, seeking new ways to express their musical ideas, have gathered around Coltrane to absorb his ideas—which, in essence, have freedom as their goal… The music is urgent, heavily percussive packed with tension that seldom allows release… Most laymen, even most musicians, perhaps, either will like Coltrane’s music to the point of frenzy or will reject it with equal passion… Each listener brings deep-grooved habits with him when he hears the music. Coltrane’s departures from harmonic tradition may cause discomfort—but the listener won’t forget the sound. That sound may be Coltrane’s artistic method of expressing some ideas about tensions and harshness in the world outside of jazz music. Some members of the audience will hear chaos only; others will find beauty emerging from an inferno. It’s an experience—the most unusual experience that modern jazz has to offer.” – Ed Baker on the sets in which this album was recorded.
