Description:
"…As much as I'd love to relay all kinds of anecdotes
about the challenges Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray encounter during
the mastering sessions, I witness none. These boys know the sound
of the facility and the Van Gelder masters like the backs of their
hands…Back home a month later, I unpack some test pressings
Chad Kassem has sent me…I hear the most realistic-sounding
drums ever reproduced by my system. It's as though I'm sitting
at the point of creation, experiencing the same high that brought
such gifted musicians together as one. Steve Hoffman, Kevin Gray,
Chad Kassem, and Don MacInnis have done Rudy Van Gelder and his
Blue Note artists proud." – Jason Victor Serinus, Stereophile,

John Coltrane's most important and best selling album after A
Love Supreme. This was the first fully realized masterpiece by
Coltrane. The superbly executed and blended ensembles have a haunting
quality and each solo is a memorable treasure.
