Another buried treasure in coltrane's discography,
fluffy, the human being. | forest lake, mn | 03/29/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"this fine set from april, 1957 has two baritone saxophone players joining up with coltrane's tenor. cecil payne and pepper adams deliver fine performances on an album that is quite conventional when compared with what was soon to come from john coltrane. nevertheless, mr trane hits many a moment of intensity here, and fans of his later work should enjoy this release just fine. the excellent piano man mal waldron is on board, too. it's a session that is well worth having."
Average Pepper Adams date wrongly attributed to Coltrane...

"Pity about this oner, it is a Pepper Adams record wrongly reissued by Prestige under Coltrane's name, in a sideman appearance and an average one at that. Great RVG remastering as usual, but still, it's nothing more than a routine date, and the continued use of Coltrane's name as the leader is deceptive and should have been corrected - or in some way handled more honestly by Concord."
A bit different

"As an album, this isn't bad at all. The instrumentation is unusual- 2 baritone saxes, (Cecil Payne & Adams), Coltrane on tenor, Waldron on piano and Doug Watkins on bass and Art Taylor on drums. The compositions are actually compositions, not just unison blues lines- 2 by Teddy Charles, 2 by Pepper Adams and one by Mal Waldron- an attempt to produce something other than the standard Prestige blowing session of the time. The downside to this is that a little rehearsal would've tightened things up a little, but since Prestige's Bob Weinstock didn't really believe in rehearsal, or at least he didn't believe in paying for them, there's some sloppiness apparent.



True, this is by no means a Coltrane album, just a sideman appearance by him and a cheesy cash in by Prestige. Apparently a cheesy cash in that has continued to move product so don't expect to see the misattribution corrected anytime soon. Either way, there's still some good music here."
