Vital, transitional John Coltrane [+] with the quartet near its end; this '65 Antibes concert may have featured familiar material ("Naima," "My Favorite Things," "Afro Blue" and "Impressions" among the five selections), but that was the only thing that linked it with the ensemble's past offerings. Coltrane's tenor was frenetic, as he turned song structure inside out, honked, soared and explored, seeking fresh directions and alternative statements within each blistering solo. Likewise, this version of "My Favorite Things" had an edgy, unfulfilled quality, while even "Naima" was more inquisitive than satisfying. While it's still incredible, pivotal music, there was also the realization that change was near and inevitable..
