Released by Impulse in 1964, this studio album by John Coltrane features McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones playing all original Coltrane compositions. It’s largely sombre music with Coltrane playing tenor sax exclusively. Crescent is passionately lyrical and more melodic than Coltrane’s famous "sheets of sound" approach on other albums.

It was so much fun working on this album cover redesign for Crescent, a sublime classic and truly one of my favorites.
