"Coltrane's 1961 album for the fledgling Impulse! label explores African rhythms along with some of the most unusual instrumentation in jazz (his classic quartet is backed here by a 15-piece brass band)! This expanded reissue also features Cal Massey's 'The Damned Don't Cry' and 'Song of the Underground Railroad', both recorded during the original sessions but not included on the album. Bonus CD features an alternate version of 'Africa' as well as Coltrane's own, far superior, arrangement for 'Greensleeves'. Hearing is believing!" On 180 gram vinyl.

Title:	Ballads
Label:	IMPULSE!
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	GR 156HLP

Gatefold exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl, originally released in 1962. Featuring McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums). "With Ballads he looks into the warmer side of things, a path he would take with both Johnny Hartman (on John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman) and with Duke Ellington (on Duke Ellington and John Coltrane). Here he lays out for McCoy Tyner mostly, and the results positively shimmer at times. He's not aggressive, and he's not outwardly. Instead he's introspective and at times even predictable, but that is precisely Ballads' draw." -- All Music Guide
