Review The Very Best of John Coltrane / John Coltrane:Two factors make this collection. First, The Very Best of is from a series of recordings for the Atlantic label (1959/60). Secondly, these recordings were made in that crucial transition between the Miles Davis quintet and the seminal quartet that accompanied Coltrane in the following years. It celebrates the maestro playing originals and standards, extending their meaning far beyond the usual scope and every track is a landmark. It is fitting that this album ends with "Body and Soul" because it really speaks of and to both. From the eternal "Giant Steps" with its spirited virtuosity, we move to the gutsy, soulful portrait "Cousin Mary" then onto a luminous recording of the classic "Naima". These performances hit to the heart and their integrity remain uncompromised. On "My Favourite Things" and "Summertime", Coltrane is joined by McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones respectively, unveiling a deep fascination with the modal. Through John Coltrane's music, through his authoritative voice, through his keenly listening imagination, Jazz finds a mystical dimension. This record can change lives. [+]

Review Come Fly With Me / Frank Sinatra:When critics refer to Sinatra's Capitol albums, their highest praise is usually reserved for the dark melancholy of Wee Small Hours or Only The Lonely. But the upbeat, swinging records should not be ignored. Probably the finest of these albums is Come Fly With Me. The first of Sinatra's albums with arranger Billy May (whose less arrangements have been overshadowed by Nelson Riddles), Fly is the conceptual equal of Lonely-a carefree, romantic musical travelogue. From the opening invitation-one of Sinatra's most rollicking vocals-to the tender invocations of "Autumn in New York" and "April in Paris" and the serene seductiveness of "Moonlight in Vermont", Sinatra personified the modern traveller-jaunty, cosmopolitan, irrefutably cool. -Steven Mirkin.

Review Music For Zen Meditation / Tony Scott:A celebrated jazz clarinettist in the 1950s, Tony Scott started collaborating with Japanese artists on a trip he made to the country in 1959; he returned in 1964 to teach classes in American Jazz, and ended up collaborating with koto-ist Shinichi Yuize and shakuhachi flute player Hozan Yamamoto on a dozen improvised collaborations. Based on the Zen concept of Beginner's Mind, a state of openness that leads to exploration, the Scott-led pieces pre-date the more modern concept of 'ambient' by a good couple of decades-but, as music descended from temples and designed to ease the mind to a state of higher consciousness, it follows many of the same directives. The gentle clarinet is complemented by the flute, with the koto-a 13-stringed zither-providing a comfortable contrast, though all three musicians appear on only a single track, the opening "Is Not All One?". -Randy Silver.
