Africa / BassJohn 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 Genre: Pop RSD Date: DDD Format: Vinyl
