Reviews4 Stars - Very Good - "...BALLADS...has always been about the celebration of pitch and melody. The band...hadn't played any of the tunes prior, but its proficiency leaned toward perfection.", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a hard, unfaltering attack and furiously intense, extended improvisations that bordered on free-jazz. BALLADS was a timely reminder of the tenor saxophonist's matchless lyricism and exquisite tone...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...This music sounds even fresher today than when it was recorded at the dawn of the '60s..."
Group MemberMccoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones, John Coltrane
