Sun Ship's theme as sketched out by Coltrane, is a sharp edged, four-note fragment from an augmented scale that he rephrases and repeats. A collaboration of master musicians, expanding and experimenting, it was all part of the ability of the quartet to follow Coltrane's musical explorations. Sun Ship , like so much of John's work, stretches and probes the furthest boundaries of the jazz idiom. Digitally remastered, it stands as a testimony to the genius that was and still is ... John Coltrane.
