John Coltrane And Johnny Hartman

Perfect addition 5

Beautiful collaboration album of saxophone player John Coltrane and singer Johnny Hartman with definitive versions of "Lush Life" and "My One and Only Love". If you're into jazz ballads, this is the way.

I'm sorry guy, did you miss the part where John Coltrane got an album on the original list? Anyway, this just kinda went nowhere. Again, just like last time, can appreciate the skill but it does nothing for me. 2/5.

This is a wonderful addition to the list. John Coltrane plus the beautiful, distinctive, smooooooth voice of Johnny Hartman. Yet another one that changed my mind about jazz.

I'm no sophisticate of Jazz but I always liked Coltrane. This had an odd mix I had a little trouble with... the sax seeming to play directly into my left ear, the rest of the backing hovering somewhere over my right shoulder. It made for a melancholy workout but I liked it overall.

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: The say it’s wonderful, My one and only love

It's 1963 and Don Draper and his wife are hosting a dinner party for the other Mad Men. Sipping on his Old Fashioned, Don puts this album on the console turntable and lights a cigarette. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman make an amazing combination. The album is short and sweet filled with beautiful standards from early Jazz. Hartman's deep baritone voice fit these songs perfectly. Start to finish, I thought this was a perfect album. Standouts: Lush Life, My One and Only Love, and You Are So Beautiful. I know Jazz isn't for everyone, and the music is really dated. But, if you appreciate beautiful collaborations - this is one of the best.

Really nice.

A really nice listen. I have heard of John Coltrane before, but don't know Johnny Hartman. It isn't something I would ever listen to again (on purpose) but I appreciate good music - and there is no doubt that this is GOOD. Hard to rate but I'll give it a 3.5 of 5 only because I don't plan to relisten to it. I was really glad I got the chance to hear it once though. Thanks to the submitter.

Beautiful jazz ballads, full of broken hearts

Solid smooth jazz addition, a bit slow and too warbly in the vocals to stick with me but a needed bit of variety in context of the original 1001. After completing the Rolling Stone 500 list, it became clear how this project sorely lacks in major jazz contributions so I'm happy to see some more here!

Jazz no instrumental. Ni fu ni fa.

Sweet

One jazz legend? Nay, you get two.
