Interstellar Space专辑介绍
顾名思义，『星际太空』又是一张寓寄约翰．柯川生命晚年对于企图将有限生命超脱升华于无限宇宙时空，钻研与探讨抽象精神领域的作品。本辑虽然灌录1967年二月(柯川逝世前五个月)，却在7年之后的1974年首度发行。
原专辑中收录"Mars"、"Venus"、"Jupiter"和"Saturn"四首乐曲，乃柯川和新发结伴的天才鼓手Rashied Ali采二重奏方式所进行最即兴抽象、最撼动人心的创作与演奏。
静态的柯川隐藏着蓄势待发的强度张力，表现了无须借住其他乐器经营和弦以维持乐曲架构的超卓技巧；鼓手Rashied Ali爆发力十足，充满热情与火花的打击手法，面对大师任意释放的灵感，沉稳且自若。四首曲子一口气听完犹如历经一场狂风暴雨之后最后换来壮丽的彩虹般舒坦无比，将它列为柯川最后的经典，绝对名符其实。
新版CD多收"Leo"、"Jupiter Variation"两曲，让专辑的原创概念更加完整。
by Scott Yanow
Not released for the first time until 1974 but now available in expanded form as a CD, this set of duets by tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and drummer Rashied Ali are full of fire, emotion and constant abstract invention. The original four pieces ("Mars," "Venus," "Jupiter" and "Saturn") are joined by "Leo" and "Jupiter Variation." Coltrane alternates quiet moments with sections of great intensity, showing off his phenominal technique and ability to improvise without the need for chordal instruments. Rousing if somewhat inaccessible music.
