Hermann (Fritz in another name, James Enright) was rough-and-tough in a way that was perfect for his character. OneвЂ™s feet wanted to waltz right along with the parents, in their stunning quartet, and spin along with Tess (Clara given another name in this production, Madeline Kment) in her commanding presence. One would have to be Ebenezer Scrooge to not be pulled right in. It all felt authentic and immersive, like the story played out on a proscenium stage cannot. This performance utilized parent/child relationships more than many Nutcracker presentations do, to great effect. There were sweet moments between the dignified adults and their children вЂ“ such as high lifts, bringing them eye to eye, while children picked up their heels. The children demonstrated both the professionalism of adulthood and the present joy of youth. The multiple Christmas trees sparkled, and music boomed through the room.

Taken together, the 19 sets make a nice whole, and having two great drummers with slightly different approaches only underscores how complete Coltrane's vision was at this point in his career.' There's little doubt that the quartet hits with more raw power with Jones driving it, but here Haynes' contribution is perfect for the moment. Here Coltrane and Haynes trade phrases and percussive glides after Tyner and Garrison lay out what is a truly wonderful dialogue between two veteran jazz musicians. Both versions are striking, but the real treat here is the 23 minute and change take on 'Impressions' from 1963. Haynes has a lighter, skittering touch that gives the piece a kind of airiness while Jones is all power and propulsion which makes for a more ambiguous and ominous feel. In a review for AllMusic, Steve Leggett wrote: 'Since Coltrane did lengthy versions of his signature arrangement of 'My Favorite Things' in both 19., it's impossible not to compare the approach of the two different drummers.
