Featuring the classic lineup of McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison, Art Davis (both double bass) and finally Elvin Jones (drums) this relatively overlooked Coltrane album offers some pretty great originals that Coltrane did during the late period of his career. The first side (Chim Chim Cheree and Brazilia) offers a more relaxed and more conventional style of his signature spiritual sound while the other half offers a more experimental, intense and free take on jazz. If you're new to Coltrane this isn't a required listening but if you're already very familiar with his most famous work then you shouldn't pass on this album. The rip I have has the booklet scanned which is a nice addition of context and thought as well as a few extra originally unreleased material.
