    About this album

    Africa/Brass is a bold turning point in John Coltrane’s early-1960s evolution, pushing his quartet language towards larger forms, modal openness and freer improvisation. Recorded in 1961 and issued as part of the rush towards the leader’s most adventurous period, it expands beyond hard bop discipline into broad, searching pieces such as Africa, Greensleeves and Blues Minor. The album is especially notable for its striking orchestral writing, which frames Coltrane’s tenor with unusual colour and scale while preserving the intensity of his quartet approach. Widely regarded as one of the key bridges between hard bop and the avant-garde, it helped define Coltrane’s restless artistic trajectory.
