Product Details

Recorded in a single session in February 1963, this collaboration stands as one of the most intimate pairings in jazz vocal history, with Coltrane reining in his more exploratory impulses to serve Hartman's unhurried baritone. The result is something rare: a small-group date where every player, including McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones, operates with the patience of a ballad singer. The Acoustic Sounds reissue restores the warmth that made the original Impulse! pressing so sought after.

This beloved 1963 album on Impulse! is a career highlight for both Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane. Hartman was apparently Coltrane's suggestion for the recording and his deep, dark voice meshes perfectly here with Coltrane's tenor. The material is well-chosen, including definitive readings of "My One and Only Love" and "Lush Life." Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered on 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
