FAVORITE TRACK:
Coltrane's soprano redefines cool jazz. Solos so wonderful, and accompaniment that never seems overbearing, and a variety of themes and feels in a short album. A cool jazz classic.

FAVORITE TRACK: "Sincerely Diana"
Blakey's take on "A Night in Tunisia" is interesting... definitely not my favorite here. Still fantastic, but surprisingly too fast. "Sincerely Diana" takes the cake for my favorite on this - perhaps Diana Bingley is the Diana in question?
