Interplay for 2 Trumpets and 2 Tenors

Album Notes & Community Reviews

This unusual blowing session utilizes a rare four-horn frontline without a piano or guitar to provide traditional harmonic chording. Supported only by bass and drums, the highly capable soloists are forced to navigate complex melodic structures through deep listening and intricate counterpoint. The stark, incredibly airy arrangements highlight a rapidly developing John Coltrane shortly before his major stylistic breakthroughs.
