Coltrane, Hubbard, Dolphy, Hutcherson and Benson Free for All
AUDIO AND VIDEO:
Transition finds John Coltrane treading water between the lyric splendor of A Love Supreme and the turbulent explorations of Sun Ship. Transition finds the band adhering to tune, tempo, tonality, and time in more-or-less traditional manner, whereas two months later on Sun Ship the quartet comes on like the Book of Revelations--completely absorbed in the spirit of sonic exploration. Read complete review from amazon.com.
