Customer Reviews

It doesn't get any better than this . . .
Recognized for years as a Jazz Classic, an essential recording . . . one of those desert island recordings; there is very little that can be added that has not already been written about this recording. The qualities of these great artists came together on this very special recording. It is simply that good. The technology through the years has improved and fortunately the remastering of this classic has been done well enough to give honor to the original vinyl rendering.

Hartman sounds as if he were in your room while Coltrane simplifies his music to support the vocal (his only recording to do so). It takes genius and great self esteem to keep it within the boundaries of the entire ensemble. Coltrane did this on this recording to his credit / genius.

This recording is a "must have" for any serious music fan. A wonderful start (or finish) to any evening.

JOHN COLTRANE AND JOHNNY HARTMAN
John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman

THIS IS A GREAT REPRODUCTION OF THE ORIGINAL LP. I'VE BEEN BOTH A JOHN COLTRANE AND JOHNNY HARTMAN FAN FOR A LONG TIME. HOWEVER, I NEVER GOT AROUND TO PURCHASING THE ORIGINAL LP ALBUM. I'M ALMOST GLAD I WAITED. THE CD IS GREAT AND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL ON MY NEW SYSTEM. GOOD CHOICE.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
A wholesale improvement in sound quality when played back in SACD mode over the impulse release. Other than some tape hiss, terrific presence and very much a "you are there" quality to the sound. Hartman was a fabulous singer and Coltrane is at his best doing ballads. If you like romantic jazz with up front vocals and sax, this is a must have disc. I own about 2000 CDs. This is in my top 10 favorites.
