John COLTRANE - Settin' the Pace 1958


John COLTRANE - Settin' the Pace 1958

Jazz

Settin' the Pace is a studio album by the great jazz musician John Coltrane. It was released in 1958 for OJC records. This record captures Coltrane during an important year of development, 1958. Like the other great release of the same year, "Soultrane," "Settin' the Pace," shows how far his performance had grown during three years of collaboration with Miles Davis. Two highlights from the records are the Monkish 14 minute long "Little Melonae" and the mellower "I See Your Face before Me". The album provides plenty of self-assured and passionate playing from one of the greatest jazz artists and is a must have for all jazz fans.
**
This is Coltrane from the period when he was a member of Miles Davis' legendary 1950s quintet, accompanied by fellow quintet members Garland and Chambers. This is 'Trane in a relaxed bop mode, making some swinging relaxed jazz in the vein of Sonny Rollins and Stan Getz (the latter in his more bop-ish mode). This is not the fire-breathing saxophonist of the middle '60s, but a player who was beginning to push against the boundaries, all the while playing with thoughtful, imaginative lyricism. It's a set of little-known pop tunes of the era, with the exception of Jackie McLean's "Little Melonae." Anyone who likes/loves the mainstream jazz of the '50s, or Miles' music of that time, and/or Coltrane fans who want/need to hear their idol in an easy-going context should pick up on this.
