“I Love You” (Cole Porter) from the album “Lush Life“.

” … Coltrane doesn’t have to supplement the frequent redundancy inherent in pianists, so he has plenty of room to express himself through simple and ornate passages. Unifying the slippery syncopation and slightly Eastern feel of “I Love You” is the tenor’s prevalent capacity for flawless, if not downright inspired on-the-spot “head” arrangements that emerge singular and clear, never sounding preconceived. Even at an accelerated pace, the rhythm section ably prods the backbeat without interfering…” – Lindsay Planer/AllMusic.

Personnel:
John Coltrane – tenor saxophone
Earl May – bass
