1965 John Coltrane - Sun Ship

Other than first meditations, which was not released at the time, Sun Ship (reissued on CD by Impulse) was the final studio album by John Coltrane's classic quartet (with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones) before Pharoah joined the band on second tenor. At this point in time, Coltrane was using very short repetitive themes as jumping-off points for explosive improvisations, often centered around one chord and a very specific spiritual mood. Even in the most intense sections (and much of this music is atonal), there is a logic and thoughtfulness about Coltrane's playing. Only for fans - Thanks All Music!!
