{"product_id":"john-coltrane_ballads-vinyle-rouge_2026","title":"Ballads Vinyle Rouge","description":"After inaugurating his association with the Impulse label by signing in 1961 with “Africa Brass” and “Coltrane Live At The Village Vanguard,” two bold and avant-garde albums continuing the revolutionary gesture begun by his great Atlantic records (“My Favorite Things,” “Olé”), saxophonist John Coltrane would record a handful of albums confronting his modernity, sometimes deemed aggressive, with more traditional forms of jazz. After his summit meeting with Duke Ellington and before crossing paths with crooner Johnny Hartmann, Coltrane in “Ballads” humbly reminds us of his direct lineage with the great Classics of the tenor saxophone. \u003cbr\u003e Revisiting in this record a selection of heady sentimental ballads chosen for their melodic sumptuousness, the saxophonist, leading his brand new quartet composed of McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on double bass, and Elvin Jones on drums, deploys his voluptuous sound, showcasing the full extent of his lyricism and sense of storytelling. Released in January 1963, just before he definitively cut the ties to fully engage in the free revolution, “Ballads” appears in the saxophonist's discography as an enchanted parenthesis — a miraculous islet of serenity and tenderness.","brand":"John Coltrane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58499320643928,"sku":null,"price":23712997.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/Ballads-Vinyle-Rouge.jpg?v=1789684535","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/john-coltrane_ballads-vinyle-rouge_2026","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
