Clarinetist Tony Scott once called the number Lush Life the Mount Everest of Jazz soloists. Thousands have stood at the foot of the mountain but only a couple of dozen ever made it right to the top. Among these few were the singer Johnny Hartman and the John Coltrane Quartet in March 1963 not just with that song but with other favorites too.
The list extends from They Say Its Wonderful which sounds as though it is clad in black silk, to the lyrical My One And Only Love, right up to the light-footed rumba Autumn Serenade, here are six true masterpieces which will get right under your skin. Just listen to how relaxed and self-assuredly the crooners great voice carries the melody, which is then taken up and continued by the great John Coltrane on his instrument. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013.
