John Coltrane — Transition

Transition

John Coltrane
Jazz 1970

Transition is an album of music by jazz saxophonist John Coltrane, recorded in 1965 but released posthumously only in 1970. As its title indicates, Transition was a bridge between classic quartet recordings like A Love Supreme and the more experimental works of Coltrane's last years.

Picked by
“Transition, Coltrane. Great record. A lot of people talk about the two eras of Coltrane, kind of like the start, post-bop which is more listenable and then late, avant-garde, free-jazz stuff, and this is kind of right in the middle of those two eras, so kind of encompasses who he was as an artist, really.”
