About this album
The Africa Brass Sessions, Vol. 2 documents a crucial stage in John Coltrane’s move towards larger forms and broader harmonic freedom. Drawing on the Africa Brass material recorded in 1961 and issued later, the album expands his sound with horn-driven arrangements that frame his tenor saxophone in sweeping, devotional lines. Heard through pieces such as “Africa”, “Greensleeves” and “Song Of The Underground Railroad”, it bridges modal jazz and post-bop while pushing Coltrane’s music towards the elemental force that would define his mid-1960s work. It stands as an important part of his evolution from hard-driving improviser to visionary bandleader.
