2 out of 5 stars Like a candle compared to the sun.......1998-10-30

Inspite of being a fan of Dave Liebman for many years I didn't much appreciate this project, especially when you listen to the "original". Liebman alone can't stand up to Coltrane + Pharaoh Sanders. The arrangements are no improvement. The sound is less sharp and the band is somewhat out of focus. The music is dissolving. A re-recording only makes sense when new aspects come to light. This sadly is not happening here.

5 out of 5 stars an incredible interpretation of a masterpiece........1998-06-04

This recording sums up the enduring musical searching of Coltrane, as Liebman captures the sound, energy and Spirit that Coltrane embodied. The expanded lineup has 2 drummers, 2 bassists, guitar, oboe, trumpet and keyboards and is powerful from top to bottom. An excellent intoduction or reintoduction to the late music of Coltrane, in some respects, I think it is better than the original recording (no disrespect to john, he improvised it, and we've had 30 years to think about it!) One for the ages.
