DescriptionJohn Coltrane Dakar Prestige All Stars, 1957 / John Coltrane, 1963 Prestige / RVG 2008  CD / 2008 / 320Kbps Tracklist: 1 Dakar 2 Mary's Blues 3 Route 4 4 Velvet scene 5 Witches Pit 6 Cat Walk Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, NJ on April 20, 1957 Personnel: John Coltrane: tenor saxophone Cecil Payne: baritone saxophone Pepper Adams: baritone saxophone Mal Waldron: piano Doug Watkins: bass Art Taylor: drums Produced by Teddy Charles Often cited as saxophonist John Coltrane's first album as leader, Dakar - recorded on April 20, 1957 - is a usurper. Originally credited to the Prestige All Stars, it was only credited to Coltrane on its re-release in 1963, when the saxophonist's star was firmly in the ascendant. He gets no more solo time than either of the other saxophonists, baritone players Cecil Payne and Pepper Adams. Coltrane, his tenor already possessing the incisive sound which took wings on Giant Steps, works like spice amongst Payne's lighter, at times Lester Young-ish tone, and Adams' tougher, more abrasive one (not for nothing was Adams nicknamed The Knife). The differences in their respective presentations offer a contrast that complements the cool refinement of Adams and Pepper when juxtaposed with Coltrane's frenetic flurries. There's a fierce, devil may care atmosphere, rolling around in the sound of the instruments, which establishes a mood sustained throughout the album. Dakar is a characterful set of propulsive, pre-codification hard bop and still a delight over half a century later. Straight, no chaser. :)  More “Trane” :          . . . and Dr. Lonnie Smith’s Homage >>>>>  “Avantgarde”:    Related Torrents
