The Mattson 2, the SoCal jazz duo of twin brothers Jonathan and Jared Mattson are releasing Mattson 2 Play A Love Supreme,
their full album cover of John Coltrane's 1964 masterpiece, next week
on August 17. Today, the duo shared their version of the album's first
suite, "Acknowledgement."
In an interview with Vinyl Me, Please, the brothers say, "We
are identical twins, so we share a heightened level of communication as
it relates to music and everyday conversation. We'll finish each
other's sentences, we will think the same thoughts, we'll dream the same
dreams sometimes. When it comes to music... we'll also get on this
heightened wavelength. Coltrane's piece, we felt, would be the perfect launching pad to express new forms of this communication within our own music."

"Where
the opening salvo of 'Acknowledgment' is iconic for its wide-eyed,
ecstatic submission to a higher power through Coltrane's braying
saxophone, the Mattsons aim for something more celestial with their
rendition. Opening on a delay-heavy solo toward the heavens, Jared gives
Coltrane's devotional a warbling reassessment on guitar as Jonathan
dutifully unpacks Elvin Jones' singularly passionate style of drumming."

The Mattsons have previously shared their video for "Resolution," which Paste praised for "add[ing] nuance and psychedelia... further illustrates the depth and dexterity that the brothers posses."
