Usually ships in 3-6 business days

Vinyl LP pressing. Ballads is a jazz album by John Coltrane. It was recorded in December 1961 and 1962. Critic Gene Lees stated that the quartet had never played the tunes before. They arrived with music-store sheet music of the songs and just before the recordings, they would discuss each tune, write out copies of the changes they'd use, semi-rehearse for a half hour and then do it. Each piece was recorded in one take, except for All or Nothing at All. Say It (Over and Over Again), You Don't Know What Love Is, Too Young to Go Steady, All or Nothing at All, I Wish I Knew, What's New?, It's Easy to Remember, Nancy (With the Laughing Face)
