Ballads is a definitive 1963 jazz album by the John Coltrane Quartet, showcasing a softer, deeply expressive side of the legendary saxophonist through slow-tempo standards. Recorded to silence critics who questioned his melodic sensitivity, this masterpiece delivers sophisticated, late-night music that remains an accessible benchmark for acoustic jazz.
