(75) “Crescent” and Jimmy Garrison
Standard Rating 4 and Difficulty Rating 7
Bassist Jimmy Garrison was a key figure in 1960s jazz, best known for his work with John Coltrane’s classic quartet from 1962 to 1967. His firm tone, solid rhythm, and blues-inflected modal playing anchored the group, especially on landmark albums like A Love Supreme and Live at Birdland. Garrison’s innovative techniques, including extended unaccompanied solos, helped shape the quartet’s spiritual and modal sound. The 1964 track “Crescent” highlights the quartet’s exceptional interplay. It opens with Coltrane’s expressive tenor sax over Tyner’s delicate piano, supported by Garrison’s steady bass and Jones’s dynamic drumming. The simple, hymn-like melody unfolds over ii–V progressions enriched with altered chords and modal tensions, creating a contemplative atmosphere. The solo section features modal improvisation and unexpected harmonic shifts, foreshadowing the quartet’s later spiritual works. This piece exemplifies Garrison’s role as the group’s grounding force and Coltrane’s evolving compositional style, later echoed in Tyner’s solo piano rendition of “Crescent.”
