Two factors make this collection. First, The Very Best of is from a series of recordings for the Atlantic label (1959/60). Secondly, these recordings were made in that crucial transition between the Miles Davis quintet and the seminal quartet that accompanied Coltrane in the following years. It celebrates the maestro playing originals and standards, extending their meaning far beyond the usual scope and every track is a landmark. It is fitting that this album ends with "Body and Soul" because it really speaks of and to both. From the eternal "Giant Steps" with its spirited virtuosity, we move to the gutsy, soulful portrait "Cousin Mary" then onto a luminous recording of the classic "Naima". These performances hit to the heart and their integrity remain uncompromised. On "My Favourite Things" and "Summertime", Coltrane is joined by McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones respectively, unveiling a deep fascination with the modal. Through John Coltrane's music, through his authoritative voice, through his keenly listening imagination, Jazz finds a mystical dimension. This record can change lives. --Ben Clarke
