●企鹅爵士评鑑3星半
专辑的第一曲是轻盈灵巧到了简直可以说是「俏皮」的”Good Bait”，约翰柯川的次中音萨克斯风，从一开始就是连绵不绝的长段即兴，甚至在中段交给钢琴手雷德嘉兰接手时，柯川都还显得又有些意犹未尽，然而，这首长达十二分钟多的曲子，不管是柯川、嘉兰还是贝斯手保罗钱伯斯，都有足够的挥洒空间，他们三位也都展现出非凡的即兴能力，从中间的长段交替即兴开始，一路推演到乐曲最后回归主题旋律，段落的衔接酣畅淋漓，堪称完美。
欣赏完丰富活泼的”Good Bait”，沉浸入另一曲”I Want To Talk About You”，则是简单的多，光听柯川萨克斯风前奏如泣如诉的三个长音，就足以让听众完全失去抵抗力，柯川在曲中萨克斯风音色之温厚动人，早在黑胶唱片时期就相当有名，美国一家录音效果着称的公司，还特别为本辑推出高价发烧版，可见一斑。
John Coltrane (tenor saxophone)
Red Garland (piano)
Paul Chambers (bass)
Art Taylor (drums)
These SACD jackets feature printed wraps mounted to chipboard shells, producing an authentic, “old school” look and feel. Some people call these “mini LP” jackets.
This album continued the reinforcement of Coltrane’s importance as a stylist. As in Coltrane and John Coltrane and the Red Garland Trio, his first two albums as a leader for Prestige, the material in Soultrane is away from the ordinary. The Garland–Paul Chambers–Arthur Taylor rhythm section is a perfect accompanying unit for Trane who, by this time, was acknowledged to be — along with Sonny Rollins — one of the two most influential tenor saxophonists in jazz.
Soultrane opens with an exploration at length of “Good Bait,” a Tadd Dameron-Count Basie collaboration, first recorded by Dizzy Gillespie in the 1940s. The way Coltrane plays the turns in the melody gives it a slight minuet flavor, complimented by solos by Garland and Chambers in the same, solid groove. “I Want To Talk About You” is a ballad written and originally recorded by Billy Eckstine in the mid-1940s. It’s entirely new to jazz interpretation.
Side Two opens with a Joe Stein-Leo Robin tune, “You Say You Care,” never heard before this in a jazz context. Trane makes the most of chord changes in a swinging, medium-up setting. “Theme For Ernie” is a smoldering ballad dedicated by Philadelphian Freddie Lacey to Ernie Henry, the ex-Gillespie alto saxophonist who died suddenly in December 1957. Red begins the final track “Russian Lullaby” with an out-of-tempo introduction before Coltrane comes ripping in. Taking this and Coltrane’s prior interpretation of “Soft Lights And Sweet Music,” it seems as though the boys like to play their Irving Berlin at high velocity.
Because of the astounding Coltrane solo works that both precede and follow Soultrane — most notably Lush Life and Blue Train — All Music Guide says this album has “perhaps not been given the exclusive attention it so deserves.”
Originally released in 1958.
