“I was the
engineer on the recording sessions and I also made the masters for the
original LP issues of these albums. Since the advent of the CD, other
people have been making the masters. Mastering is the final step in the
process of creating the sound of the finished product. Now, thanks to
the folks at the Concord Music Group who have given me the opportunity
to remaster these albums, I can present my versions of the music on CD
using modern technology. I remember the sessions well, I remember how
the musicians wanted to sound, and I remember their reactions to the
playbacks. Today, I feel strongly that I am their messenger.” —Rudy Van
Gelder.
Here is one of
the musical giants of the 20th century, poised on the precipice of
greatness. Between the spring of 1957 and the winter of 1958, during
which time Lush Life was recorded, the music of tenor saxophonist John
Coltrane (1926-1967) was developing in giant steps, thanks in great part
to a six-month 1957 stint with Thelonious Monk that had much to do with
sharpening Coltrane’s harmonic conception and torrential attack.
Lush Life contains Coltrane’s first recordings as sole leader, his
initial date fronting a pianoless trio, and one of his first extended
readings of a ballad, Billy Strayhorn’s resplendent title track. We also
hear him at the helm of a quartet and quintet, featuring pianist Red
Garland, with trumpeter Donald Byrd added to “Lush Life.”
