John Coltrane Quartet: Crescent ETJS-86.2 “This record is a culminationImpulse!, 1964 Crescent catches John Coltranes classic quartet in a meditative, midnight mood. It also marks the first stirrings of the spiritual vibe that would increasingly come to define his work in the next few years. Theres a deep sense of yearning in his tone on the three key tracks, "Crescent", "Wise One" and "Lonnies Lament", all delivered with a sighing, stately restraint and sense of serious purpose. But there are lighter moments too.
