From talking with many people, if there was a jazz record, and even if AC seems easy at first, it'd be him without dispute. For who knows a minimum, the pocket watch is already very bad: it's hard to believe that Coltrane, Adderley, Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, Bill Evans and Miles ... of course be on the same disk. Coltrane and his inimitable and identifiable keeping score among 100; Jimmy Cobb, known to have a game rather rich, purifies its strikes here, and that's what he has to do better for the general groove; the touch Bill Evans completely supplants that of Wynton Kelly; Adderley, Coltrane complementary, since rather represents the pure art: nothing is nearby. All orchestrated by Miles. Yet these monsters Jazz will embark on any technical demonstration that they invent jazz groove, they place the sound first. The riff of "So What", even if it is Dorien (not so common at the time), is not especially sophisticated compared to what was done; and harmony: a grid of 2 agreements (Re / Mib). All that to say that by choosing this orientation, they are the link between the past Jazz (whose representative musician could be Adderlay) and the Jazz ahead (with Coltrane who already has 20 years ahead). It is of course not obliged to take the lead to appreciate the pure beauty of this disk absolutely ESSENTIAL that penetrates to the bottom of the guts and the same is rediscovered after 1000 plays.
