John Coltrane and his classic quartet (pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones) are in fine form on this 1962 studio LP. High points include a passionate "Out of This World" (what did Johnny Mercer think of this version?) and a classic version of Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes." The remainder of the program includes "The Inch Worm" and the two Coltrane compositions, "Tunji" and "Miles' Mode." Not as intense as many of Trane's other albums, this is still a recommended and enjoyable set. - by by Scott Yanow & Jack LV Isles, AMG
