Review (Stereophile)
Weakest in terms of material, Black Pearls is weighed down by the interminable (+18 minutes) "Sweet Sapphire Blues." Thanks to JVC's Extended Resolution Compact Disc process, it is also the best-sounding disc of the three. Uncompromised by any of the steps it takes to make a CD, these nearly handmade discs sound extraordinarily alive.
The sound here of Coltrane finding himself is the prelude to the first of his masterworks, Giant Steps, recorded in 1959. But, like Miles' Birth of the Cool or Louis Armstrong's recordings with King Oliver, this is Coltrane to be loved for its brawn rather than its finesse, for its sweeping searches rather than minute observationsthe explorations that were to energize both the player and his music for the rest of his life.Robert Baird
