In a very beautiful 1

Of the three meetings organized in 1962 around Duke Ellington, John Coltrane is one with, from my point of view, the most beautiful.
These meetings provide a highlight of piano playing Duke in smaller formations, a quartet in this opus. And it must be admitted that his game is more interesting!

For this meeting, John Coltrane brought Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones, as Duke Ellington brought Aaron Bell and Sam Woodyard.
Three compositions are played with the rhythm section of Trane and three with that of Duke, a composition is played with bassist Duke, Aaron Bell, Trane and drummer Elvin Jones.
The alchemy is perfect and superb music in all courses offered.
John Coltrane's solos are much calmer than in sessions with his quartet. Here, there is little sound research, but rather a great saxophonist in the service of musical beauty harbored in the compositions of Duke Ellington.

It would be foolish to ignore this event, which is a treasure trove of beauty.
