More from the 1958 Harden-Coltrane Savoy sessions, and just as rewarding as its companion. John Coltrane stretching over unhurried African-themed grooves with Wilbur Harden's flugelhorn as the ideal foil - warmth against intensity, roundness against edge, two horns genuinely listening to each other. Harden remains one of the great what-if figures of the era, a lovely and original brass voice whose career ended far too early; these sessions are his finest monument, and having Trane aboard has kept them in the light. The companion to Dial Africa, completing a small and quietly beautiful chapter of the discography. Recommended to anyone who thinks they know all the fifties Coltrane worth knowing.
