While 1964's Crescent receives far less press than its immediate successor A Love Supreme, it still feels like a canonical album that's hard to discuss. Coltrane is grappling here with both freedom, on "The Drum Thing", and structure, through the rest of the album. He's also balancing light and dark emotional content on different tracks. I have a mid-90s LP—it's pressed on nice, thick vinyl, with a beautiful recreation of the gatefold cover. The mastering does a great job of emphasizing Garrison's bass, but the mid-range is a bit thin and the highs on the cymbals were boosted too much.
