There exists audiotape of Trane (apparently in a radio or other kind of interview) saying these albums were the result of his bad luck with mouthpiece refacing. The same is stated in "Chasin The Trane," a pretty good but factually dubious and speculative book.There are other sources, however, especially those who were close to him, who said that was his "PR" explanation, rather than admitting to bowing to alleged label pressure to produce more accessible records. This alleged label pressure is the same modern jazz artists still get, i.e., "Give us some more commercially accessible stuff so we can continue to justify putting out your 'High Art' stuff too." Some good labels genuinely want to keep artists happy and productive, but they gotta sell records too.
Either way, that's my humble entry into this fray. Any other folks have more info?
