{ COMMENT }
존 콜트레인의 혁신적이며 실험적인 면모가 돋보이던 Impulse Records 시절 1965년 테너 색스포니스트 Pharoah Sanders와 드러머 Rashied Ali 이 가세한 Sextet 구성으로 잘 알려진 "Meditations" 앨범 발표, 두 달 전에 쿼텟 버전으로 레코딩된 본 작은 베이시스트 Jimmy Garrison, 드러머 Elvin Jones, 피아니스트 McCoy Tyner의 정통 John Coltrane Quartet 구성으로 레코딩된 [First Meditations]!! Coltrane 사후, 1977년까지 공개된적이 없었으며 1992년 CD로 리이슈화를 거치며, 정통 John Coltrane Quartet의 최후의 레코딩이자 강렬하고 격정적이며 보다 서정적 섹션이 부각된 탐미적인 앨범으로 긴 연주 버전인 "Joy"의 Alternate Version 수록!!
