Ballads is a jazz album by John Coltrane released in January 1963 by Impulse! Records.^[1]^[2] It was recorded in December 1961 and 1962, and released with catalogue number A-32 (mono) and AS-32 (stereo). Critic Gene Lees stated that the quartet had never played the tunes before. "They arrived with music-store sheet music of the songs" and just before the recordings, they "would discuss each tune, write out copies of the changes they'd use, semi-rehearse for a half hour and then do it". Each piece was recorded in one take, except for "All or Nothing at All".^[9] In 2008, the album was a recipient of the Grammy Hall of Fame award.^[10]
