For the John Coltrane Quartet, 1965 marked a period of intensely accelerated change. It was at this time that Coltrane began his final creative ascent, uncoupling the characteristic ingredients of his style - modal transmogrification, anguished overtones, incantatory skips and repetition - from the moorings of the popular song form. His later works, seemingly shorn of any kinship to prevailing jazz idioms, became explicitly primal, mystical and redemptive. The music of the Coltrane ensembles from late 1965 until his death two years later remains challenging and enigmatic even now, a quarter century later. The recordings that comprise ‘Transition’ show the JCQ at its most ecstatically unanimous. Still organized around recognizable structures, the first three sections of ‘Transition’ are vehicles for what was surely the hardest swinging small group of all time. Tyner, Garrison, and Jones churn behind Trane as never before, spinning complex webs of polyrhythmicity into stunning cadences. For his part, Coltrane soars above, around, and through them with some of the most abundantly inventive, panoramic solos he ever managed to capture on record. Like most great works of art, ‘Transition’ cannot be completely assimilated on first encounter. Completely organic and self-contained, it continues to reveal its glories over years of repeated listening. I’ve been companioned by it for 30 years, and it moves me more, and differently, now than ever before. ‘Transition’ is beyond jazz, beyond category - it is a music of awakening, a glorious window on the soul. Don’t live your life without it! - by Chip Hartanft, Amazon.com
