The History of The Albums – n°315
I also recommend you to read in order my previous reviews on John Coltrane, listed at the end of the review, in order to better understand his immense career and this one]. In the concept of my series, it is both impossible not to assign a final episode to John Coltrane since his death comes in 1967, and also not to talk about Meditations, one of the greatest masterpieces of his discography.
