A grab-bag of hot John Coltrane performances executed in the early 1960s, Impressions is comprised of four Trane killers, all highlighting his versatility and a concerted effort not to be constrained by any given form, the music delivered with aplomb by Trane and an impressive supporting cast that includes the unfettered drummer Elvin Jones. The extended versions of "India" and the title track were taken from Coltrane's celebrated residency at the Village Vanguard with bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy in the fold; "Up Against The Wall" holds a kind of tense optimism and "After The Rain" is a melancholic classic.
