Review
<p>One of only two studio albums cut by the John Coltrane Quartet during 1964, Crescent is most notable for including five Coltrane compositions including the title cut, "Lonnie's Lament," and the swinging "Bessie's Blues." The music is excellent although not as fiery as the Quartet's live performances of the period.</p>— <b>Scott Yanow</b>
