...same time, it is a quiet car. You can be cruising right along, and suddenly, without scarcely noticing it, you're doing 80 miles an hour. It is heavy, but you can't feel it. You can flow into the drift of a rotary, and the tires will squeal with the strain, which will surprise you. You can't feel the road as much as you can feel the focus of God's movie camera on the smoothness of your existence

They walked quietly, most without smiling, down the ramp and into the crowd. A few hugged wives and children, but it wasn't a wild kissing-the-soil scene from...
JOHN COLTRANE: EXPRESSION (Impulse!). To some listeners, this record may seem little more than an all-consuming squeal-in. Yet Coltrane fans will treasure it as the last one made by the great tenor saxophonist before his death ten months ago. What Expression offers is the fascination of hearing a man's agonizing struggle to draw some personal, ultimate meaning from recalcitrant music...
