The way Coltrane plays the turns in the melody gives it a slight minuet flavor, complimented by solos by Garland and Chambers in the same, solid groove. \"I Want To Talk About You\" is a ballad written and originally recorded by Billy Eckstine in the mid-1940s. It’s entirely new to jazz interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide Two opens with a Joe Stein-Leo Robin tune, \"You Say You Care,\" never heard before this in a jazz context. Trane makes the most of chord changes in a swinging, medium-up setting. \"Theme For Ernie\" is a smoldering ballad dedicated by Philadelphian Freddie Lacey to Ernie Henry, the ex-Gillespie alto saxophonist who died suddenly in December 1957. Red begins the final track \"Russian Lullaby\" with an out-of-tempo introduction before Coltrane comes ripping in. Taking this and Coltrane’s prior interpretation of \"Soft Lights And Sweet Music,\" it seems as though the boys like to play their Irving Berlin at high velocity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of the astounding Coltrane solo works that both precede and follow \u003cem\u003eSoultrane\u003c\/em\u003e — most notably \u003cem\u003eLush Life\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e Blue Train\u003c\/em\u003e — \u003cem\u003eAll Music Guide\u003c\/em\u003e says this album has \"perhaps not been given the exclusive attention it so deserves.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOriginally released in 1958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Coltrane, tenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003eRed Garland, piano\u003cbr\u003ePaul Chambers, bass\u003cbr\u003eArt Taylor, drums \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Finer Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53164685230396,"sku":"FSLP-2242","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/5320\/0444\/files\/a1111038655_10.jpg?v=1782494994","url":"https:\/\/finersounds.com\/products\/john-coltrane-red-garland-soultrane-analogue-productions-prestige-mono-series-vinyl-lp","provider":"Finer Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
