John Coltrane Ballads

I have a 20 bit remaster that was done in 1995 that sounds very good. It is about the same sound quality as the Deluxe Edition of A Love Supreme.

Jazz vocalist Karrin Allyson has recorded a very nice version of the Ballads album covering all the songs on Coltrane's Ballads plus three more of his tunes that fit that description. It's on the Concord label. Sound is better than Coltrane's Ballads and I think she does a good job of singing the tunes. Her vocals are pretty straightforward and accessible. Most jazz fans would like the album, I think.
