John Coltrane’s matchup with singer Johnny Hartman, although quite unexpected, works extremely well. Hartman was in prime form on the six ballads, and his versions of “Lush Life” and “My One and Only Love” have never been topped.

At only half an hour, one wishes there were twice as much music, but what is here is classic, essential for all jazz collections.
