John Coltrane Donald Byrd - Black Pearls

Review by John Keyser

Black Pearls is a jazz album that features the legendary saxophonist John Coltrane and trumpeter Donald Byrd. The album was released in 1964 and is considered one of the most important recordings in the history of jazz.

The album opens with the title track, which showcases the seamless interplay between Coltrane and Byrd. The track is a perfect example of the hard bop style that was popular in the 1960s. The rhythm section of Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Taylor on drums provides a solid foundation for the two soloists to build on.

Another standout track on the album is "Sweet Sapphire Blues," which features a beautiful melody and a soulful solo by Coltrane. Byrd's trumpet playing is also exceptional on this track, and the rhythm section once again provides a perfect backdrop for the soloists.

American saxophonist and jazz composer. Born: 23 September 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina, USA. Died: 17 July 1967 in Huntington, Long Island, New York, USA (aged 40) from liver cancer. John Coltrane was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. His early recordings capture a musician in the relatively conventional confines of bebop and hardbop, but his enduring legacy primarily rests on the modal jazz pioneered by his classic quartet (1960-64) and by free jazz explorations late in his career. He recorded more than fifty albums as a leader and appeared as a sideman on many other albums, performing with other giants of jazz like and . Coltrane received numerous awards including a posthumous "Special Citation" from the Pulitzer Prize Board in 2007 for his 'masterful improvisation, supreme musicianship and iconic centrality to the history of jazz'. As his life progressed, his music and outlook became increasingly spiritual. After his death he was proclaimed as a saint by the African Orthodox church that took his name. Coltrane's second wife was pianist ; their son is also a saxophonist.
