专辑简介
Released in 2008 as a strong jazz entry in the affordable
Starbucks/Rhino Special Products Opus Collection series, "A Man
Called Trane" is a worthwhile and accessible introduction to the
powerfully moving music of saxophonist John Coltrane. Drawing upon
the Blue Note, Atlantic, and Impulse catalogs, this ten-track
sampler spans a timeline from September 1957 to December 1964,
revisiting his live performances at the Village Vanguard and the
Newport Jazz Festival, dipping into the albums Blue Train,
Coltrane's Sound, Giant Steps, Coltrane Plays the Blues, and My
Favorite Things, and reaching a logical conclusion with the
profoundly beautiful opening movement of his extended prayer and
magnum opus "A Love Supreme." While literally dozens of equally
fine Coltrane collections exist, "A Man Called Trane" is a welcome
addition to the discography. Hopefully the producers accomplished
their goal which was clearly to expose as many people as possible
to the majesty of Trane's spiritually informed and often
restlessly ambitious artistry. This has been achieved for decades,
however, by A Love Supreme in its entirety, as an album unto
itself, the way it was originally conceived and presented to the
world, which is still perhaps the ideal choice for introducing
people to Coltrane's music. Indeed the truncation of his soul-
baring masterpiece "A Love Supreme" is the only conceivable
drawback to this otherwise excellent collection. We get the
"Acknowledgement" but no "Resolution," no "Pursuance," and no
"Psalm." ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide
