John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman (1963)

Johnny Hartman is the only vocalist John Coltrane made a full album with. Hartman's rich, resonant baritone delivers lyrics with immaculate diction and gentle restraint, while Coltrane weaves lyrical, compassionate tenor lines around him. On My One and Only Love the point of view is old-fashioned romance taken completely seriously, without a trace of irony.
