About

This album is sometimes overshadowed, but there's much to like here. Using his quartet as a base, Coltrane augments with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, alto and flute player Eric Dolphy, and others. The expansive title track has a galloping Spanish feel and a looseness to the rhythm created using a second bassist. While “Dahomie Dance” is an excellent but typical blues from Coltrane, the two final cuts are ballads; McCoy Tyner’s “Aisha” is similar in quality and tone (and title) to the classic “Naima” from <i>Giant Steps</i>, while “Original Untitled Ballad (To Her Ladyship)” is more expansive but no less melodic.
