Review
Musically, Transition finds John Coltrane treading water between the lyric splendor of A Love Supreme and the turbulent explorations of Sun Ship. Transition finds the band adhering to tune, tempo, tonality, and time in more-or-less traditional manner, whereas two months later on Sun Ship the quartet comes on like the Book of Revelations--completely absorbed in the spirit of sonic exploration. You can hear Coltrane probing away at the heraldic outline of the title theme, very much in the lyric mode of A Love Supreme, but already playing with the extreme interval leaps between upper and lower registers that he was to exploit in such a vivid manner during his vocalized solo on "The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost" (from Meditations). Elsewhere, on the extended suite "Prayer and Meditations," you can hear Coltrane deconstructing a basic swing pulse, while "Peace and After" finds the saxophonist trying to distill these enigmatic explorations into a pure lyric chant, that persisted throughout all his subsequent work, no matter how bold and frenetic. --Chip Stern
