Some listeners at the time were baffled. Many more heard the future arriving, and it still sounds startling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Spiritual\" opens with a slow, incantatory theme, Eric Dolphy's bass clarinet curling around Coltrane's tenor and soprano like smoke. \"Softly as in a Morning Sunrise\" offers a lighter touch, Coltrane's soprano dancing over McCoy Tyner's bright, rolling chords.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen comes \"Chasin' the Trane\", a sixteen-minute blues for just tenor, bass and drums. With no piano to hem him in, Coltrane attacks the form from every angle, while Jimmy Garrison holds the centre and Elvin Jones answers every phrase with explosive, polyrhythmic force. It is one of the most fearless solos ever committed to tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone tracing the path from Giant Steps to A Love Supreme, this is the missing link, raw and electric.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761821417762,"sku":"8436563186806","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/1200x1200bb_fc8b94c2-5a15-429c-b7c8-ef7eff5d3196.jpg?v=1794309715","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/john-coltrane-live-at-the-village-vanguard-orange-spain-import","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
