The complicated rhythm patterns and diverse sonic textures on Ole' Coltrane (released 1961)
are evidence that John Coltrane was once again charting his own maverick course.
The assembled musicians worked within a basic quartet setting, featuring Coltrane on soprano and tenor sax,
McCoy Tyner on piano, and Elvin Jones on drums, with double-bass chores held down by Art Davis and Reggie Workman.
Added to that are significant contributions and interactions with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and Eric Dolphy on flute and alto sax,
(although Dolphy's contract with another record label prevented him from being properly credited on initial pressings of the album).
Ole' is striking in its resemblance to the Spanish influence heard on Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain.
