Coltrane Plays The Blues
The album “Coltrane Plays the Blues” was recorded in October 1960. In the track, “Blues to Bechet”, Coltrane paid a tribute to Sidney Bechet. This album served as a refreshing reminder of the simplicity of the main element of jazz music: The blues, at that time when both Coltrane and Jazz were undergoing a period of tumultuous self-analysis. The all blues format emphasizes on Coltrane’s personal relationship with this form of music. “Mr. Syms” is a minor blues with outstanding Soprano work. The tunes in the second half of the album were considered the turning point for the direction of Coltrane’s music from that time on.
