One of the most dynamic George Gruntz albums we've heard in years – a sweet tribute to the Village Vanguard recordings of John Coltrane! The album's a modern one, and done with a large ensemble – but it's a really well-spirited tribute to Trane's famous live material from the Vanguard – music that not only stands out as some of his best from the time, but which also really went on to open up some fresh new spaces in jazz! Gruntz explores this space with a group that's quite different than Coltrane's Quartet – an ensemble of younger Swiss players who really hit some sharp edges under his leadership – with soloists who include Fiete Felsch on soprano sax, Peter Bolte on alto, Ingolf Burkhardt on trumpet, Frank Delle and Bjorn Berger on tenor, and Klaus Heidenreich on trombone – all musicians we don't know at all, but who are definitely infused with the spirit of Coltrane on the set. Titles include "Big Nick", "Impressions", "Moment's Notice", "Naima Mysterious", "Blue Train", "After The Rain", "Lazy Bird", and "My Favorite Things".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
