Jimmy Garrison - bass

Elvin Jones - drums.

Recorded in Paris, France in 1961 & 1962.

This excellent CD by the classic John Coltrane Quartet (with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones) is highlighted by a 26-minute version of "Mr. P.C." Also included on the album are "The Inch Worm" and the ballad "Every Time We Say Goodbye." Although the sound and passion of the group on this date will not surprise veteran listeners, it is always interesting to hear new variations of songs already definitively recorded in the studios. The Paris Concert is recommended to all true Coltrane fanatics. ~ Scott Yanow.

Elvin Jones (Drums).

After establishing himself as a new star with Miles Davis quintet, the Thelonious Monk quartet, and various Prestige recordings with Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, and Tadd Dameron, John Coltrane made his debut as a leader with this LP. It was also the first album on any label to showcase what came to be known as the classic John Coltrane Quartet. That group, with McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums, established itself in its four years of existence as one of the most influential ensembles in jazz, and one of the most popular as well. The quartet offers wonderful readings here of "The Inch Worm" and "Out Of This World" plus the tracks "Soul Eyes," "Tunji" and "Miles' Mode."

Review by Al Campbell
The classic John Coltrane Quartet made one of its final appearances at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1965. The tension among band members is evident on the advanced versions of "One Down, One Up" and "My Favorite Things." Coltrane's performance is moving...yet weary. It's apparent the saxophonist wasn't getting the sound he wanted and by the end of the year he would take a different direction, hiring Pharoah Sanders and wife Alice Coltrane for the band. Tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp's earlier afternoon New Thing performance includes engaging versions of "Call Me By My Rightful Name" and "Gingerbread, Gingerbread Boy" (included as a bonus track on this package) with Bobby Hutcherson on vibes.

The October 1960 sessions which comprise COLTRANE'S SOUND present a portrait of the John Coltrane Quartet in its infancy, yet many of the mature elements which were to distinguish the group during its primacy are already in place. COLTRANE'S ... Full DescriptionSOUND was among the last releases to emerge from his Atlantic sessions, but, in some ways, it's among the most satisfying.
John Coltrane's search for the ideal rhythm section coincided with his transition from hard bop to the emerging modal stylings first suggested by Miles Davis on KIND OF BLUE. Elvin Jones' polyrhythmic inventions exploited the tension between triplets and eighth notes, and with his unique cymbal sound and powerful technique, Jones perfected a new rhythmic style of phrasing. Pianist McCoy Tyner offered a rich harmonic palette and a supple lyric dimension. He was able to play convincingly in hard bop and ballad modes, yet he also understood how to reinforce Elvin Jones' rhythmic ideas and feed the saxophonist droning chordal support that didn't limit Trane to any conventional chordal cycles. Bassist Steve Davis would soon be supplanted, but he sensed Coltrane's new rhythmic priorities, and moved comfortably from vamping ostinatos to pulsing swing.
The ballad "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes" is given a new rhythmic dimension, powered along by Jones' snaking Afro-Cuban beat and swinging release (a favored Coltrane device), and the saxophonist expounds on the theme with vigorous harmonic variations, followed by Tyner's chanting chords and driving lines. "Central Park West" features Trane's gently wafting soprano and is among his most tender ballads, while "Liberia" is a rhythmically exuberant cousin to old boss Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night In Tunisia." The classic tenor ballad "Body And Soul" is transformed by Tyner's fresh voicings and Jones' overtones of gospel and swing, while "Equinox" evokes images of Africa and the deep south in its moody blues refrains. The concluding "Satellite" is an exercise in hard swing, as Trane traverses "Giant Step"-like changes with fresh rhythmic urgency.

Recorded at Atlantic Studios, New York, New York on October 24 & 26, 1960. Includes liner notes by Ralph J. Gleason.
