The Mattson 2 Cover John Coltrane’s “Resolution” (Video)

Identical twins Jonathan and Jared Mattson have been playing expressive, stripped down jazz for a little while now, gaining plaudits and attention from unconventional corners (their last album was alongside Chaz Bear, aka Toro y Moi).

Now the duo are releasing an interesting project– their own rendition of John Coltrane‘s iconic album, A Love Supreme.

It’s certainly more brief, more direct, and has to do a whole lot with a little, but they pull off the feat well.

Take for example their version of “Resolution” below, and then cop The Mattson 2 Play A Love Supreme when it drops August 17th on Spiritual Pajamas.

Mattson 2 Play A Love Supreme, the new album from the duo The Mattson 2, is out August 17th on Spiritual Pajamas.
