For Your Weary Ears, Only.

Put some romance back into your night with Live! At the Village Vanguard, as musical impressionist John Coltrane records against the backdrop of Manhattan Club nights and foot-tapping jazz.

By comparison, Coltrane's tenth and also his first of live albums allowed plenty of swerves from the typical swings of contemporary jazz. Rebuked by critics then for its discursive style of "musical nonsense... being peddled into the name of jazz", calling this album badass, today, is to underrate its merits.

Regardless, make sure you tip the long line of your cigarette ash as you unwind to an uninterrupted, unstructured, thirty-six minutes of a syncopated performance.
