The last of the original Atlantic Coltranes, Olé often gets overlooked because it doesn't have the impact of earlier albums of the Impulse! sessions that followed. But there's good stuff in short segments of Dolphy and Hubbard, during the moody 12-bar ‘Dahomey Dance’ and Tyner's ballad ‘Aisha’. The title-track has Coltrane applying his soprano to a Spanish folksong (which I was forced to learn that same summer!), but it runs out of steam a bit on the long two-bass section with Art Davis playing arco. Olé was last reviewed in Jazzwise 218, as part of a Four Classic Albums release, but that had just the three tracks first released. There's always bonus material of course, including a second ballad from the same session (‘To Her Ladyship’), put out nearly a decade later on The Coltrane Legacy. Added are four relatively straightahead quartet tracks from the My Favourite Things dates, including the ‘Confirmation’ contrafact ‘26-2’ (also on Legacy) and the great triptych of ‘Equinox’, ‘Night Has A Thousand Eyes’ and the ‘Tunisia’ adaptation ‘Liberia’ (all of which first appeared on Coltrane's Sound). The return of this material to general availability should certainly be welcomed.
