Don't make this brilliant album your introduction into Jazz, save that for Kind of Blue or Time Out. Don't even make it your introduction to Coltrane; Giant Steps or My Favourite Things would be better places to start. Once you think you're ready it will still probably take a 5 or 6 listens before the magic of this gorgeous, spiritual album hits the mark. It took at least that many listens did for me, but how....5 stars
