Johnny Hartman's voice, always a perfectly tuned instrument, is unobtrusive and relaxing, heavy in quality but almost without tremolo, which makes Hartman unique among the big-voiced boppers. His enunciation is impeccable (you'll hear every word on this record), which makes him unique among all male singers.
Coltrane's bridge is intended to fit into the totaly of the song. He doesn't, as you might expect of such a hard-blowing tenor man, try to overpower the singer or the song. He rather re-interprets it along the same lines as Hartman.
