A stirring interpretation of Coltrane's "Olé" from a live performance by Noah Howard! It's faithful, yet still distinct due to the smaller band performing it. The pianist lacks the chromaticism of the genius McCoy Tyner, and I long for Eric Dolphy's flute solo. The dual bass playing, one bowed and the other plucked, added another rhythmic layer to this hypnotic piece, but Howard's solo is passionate and brings a vitality to the piece. El Quinto Regimiento lives on.
