John Coltrane - Crescent (reissue) (Reissue)

Crescent is a 1964 studio album by jazz musician John Coltrane, released by Impulse! As A-66. It features his jazz quartet group of McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones playing all original Coltrane compositions, with the leader playing tenor saxophone exclusively. It is commonly regarded as the saxophonist's darkest album. Only the brief, infectious medium-up ""Bessie's Blues"", and a samba-tinged groove in the midsection of the otherwise sedate ""Wise One"", break the sombre mood.
