The record

Title: John Coltrane Quartet – Ballads
Year/Genre: 1963, Jazz
Matrix #: STEREO A-32
Condition: NM Actually perfect
Description: Released in 1963 on Impulse!, Ballads shows a contemplative side of Coltrane, with his classic quartet—McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones—interpreting standards in restrained, lyrical form. Unlike the exploratory intensity of A Love Supreme or Impressions, this album highlights Coltrane’s command of melody and emotional nuance, becoming a landmark example of jazz balladry. Its understated elegance has made it one of his most enduringly popular works.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
