专辑介绍
by Jack LV Isles
Throughout John Coltrane's discography there are a handful of decisive and controversial albums that split his listening camp into factions. Generally, these occur in his later-period works such as Om and Ascension, which push into some pretty heady blowing. As a contrast, Ballads is often criticized as too easy and as too much of a compromise between Coltrane and Impulse! (the two had just entered into the first year of label representation). Seen as an answer to critics who found his work complicated with too many notes and too thin a concept, Ballads has even been accused of being a record that Coltrane didn't want to make. These conspiracy theories (and there are more) really just get in the way of enjoying a perfectly fine album of Coltrane doing what he always did -- exploring new avenues and modes in an inexhaustible search for personal and artistic enlightenment. With Ballads he looks into the warmer side of things, a path he would take with both Johnny Hartman (on John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman) and with Duke Ellington (on Duke Ellington and John Coltrane). Here he lays out for McCoy Tyner mostly, and the results positively shimmer at times. He's not aggressive, and he's not outwardly. Instead he's introspective and at times even predictable, but that is precisely Ballads' draw.

- @libinrainbow：告诉你们个好玩的事情，Coltrane之前一直在用Ottolink品牌的经典金属笛头（那个系列到现在还是极品）。用的时间长了，Coltrane大神不知觉得吹腻了还是想开发自己品牌的笛头了，这货就用粘土和胶把自己的那支经典的Ottolink金属给改了，结果被证明这是次彻底失败的改造，而且他还把他最喜欢的那支笛头给弄坏了。大神没办法，重新找了支替代品，可找到的这支状态很不好，无法进行快速演奏，大神就用这支录了慢速的《Ballads》，却成就了爵士史上伟大的一张专辑。[悠闲][悠闲][悠闲]
