John Coltrane
's debut for the
Impulse
label was a bit unusual, for the great tenor and his quartet were joined by a medium-sized backup group on
Eric Dolphy
arrangements of
"Africa,"
"Greensleeves,"
and
"Blues Minor."
"Africa"
in particular is quite memorable although
Coltrane
would not pursue any further recordings in this direction in the future, making this a change of pace in his discography. ~ Scott Yanow
