[SACD-R][OF]John Coltrane – Coltrane/Prestige 7105 - 1957/2013 (Jazz, Hard Bop)

Analogue Productions released 25 of the most collectible, rarest jazz titles ever in their Prestige Mono Series on Hybrid Mono SACD.
Hybrid Mono SACD in Mini LP Jacket!
Mastered By Kevin Gray From Original Mono Master Tapes!
These SACD jackets feature printed wraps mounted to chipboard shells, producing an authentic, “old school” look & feel: also referred to as “mini LP” jackets.
John Coltrane, is in a sense, as Ira Gitler wrote in the liner notes to Coltrane’s 1957 self-titled album — featuring his 1st session as a band leader — a new star, “but he has not arrived through high-pressure press agentry. He has been building on more solid ground.”
From the time of his joining the Miles Davis quintet in late 1955 through to his brilliant work with Thelonious Monk at the Five Spot Cafe in the summer of 1957, Coltrane steadily increased his accomplishments on his instrument & gained new admirers for his playing among his fellow musicians & the serious listening public. For this date Coltrane chose his musicians, he contributed several compositions & he also wrote some of the arrangements.
“Bakai” (meaning “cry” in Arabic), by Cal Massey, opens the album. Its handsome minor theme is expounded by pianist Red Garland, Coltrane (who’s horn really cries), & baritone saxophonist Sahib Shihab. Tracks 2 & 3 are handled by the quartet featuring Coltrane & Garland. Two ballad standards, “Violet for Your Furs,” & “Time Was,” are the subjects; the former receives a sensitive ballad treatment while the latter is done in bright medium time. “Straight Street” is a Coltrane composition & arrangement featuring solos by Coltrane, trumpeter Johnnie Splawn & pianist Mal Waldron. An interestingly different Coltrane interpretation of the seldom-done “While My Lady Sleeps” is Coltrane’s alone until Splawn joins him for a final eerie note. Coltrane’s “Chronic Blues” is the closer & gives all the horns & Waldron solo room.

By the mild-mannered janitor :
Not really any need to comment on the music, because one would assume some famailiarity if considering spending $30+ on this audiophile remastered product.
News of the Analogue Productions series of Prestige remasters, on both high grade vinyl & hybrid SACD, has been warmly welcomed on internet fora. Kevin Gray remasters in particularly are generally a joy to behold. From the opening bars of Bakai, it is clear that this classic May ’57 Trane session has never sounded better. All the Gray trademarks are present & correct: wonderful dynamics, gorgeous tonality. All is quite splendid… until the hideous dropsout appear. Straight Street & While My Lady Sleeps are both spoilt by some awful tape glitches. I don’t have the knowledge to understand if these are faults with the analogue source or problems created during the digital mastering, but either way they are really easy to hear. I don’t understand why the SACD would be issued with this problem, & without at least a technical note like many Japanese CDs of older material have. Rather poor considering the cost of this item, & it makes me very wary of buying any others in this reissue campaign.
