    On Spotify:

    John Coltrane--Coltrane's Sound. And for me, the standout piece, and one of my all-time favorites from Trane and Tyner. IMHO, this work ranks among the best ever turned out by any jazz musicians; I must have listened to it at least 40-50 times over the summer, and it still speaks to me in hauntingly beautiful phrases. I'll post both the Spotify link--and for my friend Mat--the You Tube version: John Coltrane – Equinox.

    Seems like a Coltrane night all round!

    I had been listening to some Miles Davis tracks. I revisited the Miles Davis 'Live At Olympia,Paris, March 1960' 2 cd set on Laserlight.
    Amazing stuff from Coltrane. Miles sorta takes a back seat at times because he knew Trane was experimenting at this stage, evolving his style. Repitition, doubling up, tripling, outside scales, re-structuring, all belched forth at great speed.
    Some of the French audience, on two tracks especially, 'Green Dolphin Street' and 'Bye Bye Blackbird', are somewhat baffled by this and vociferously make their feelings known while the others applaud his efforts. Coltrane seems unfazed by this. He was looking ahead to his next venture into modality. Interesting stuff.

    inspired by steve and his love for the work of john coltrane, i decided to play three of my favorite coltrane albums.
    coltranes sound-atlantic
    dakar-prestige
    blue train-blue note
    these coltrane albums are superb, and some of the best jazz ever put on record.i love the sound of coltrane, derived from dexter gordon, but taken to a higher level,i could listen to him all day. it is a mystery to me,why some decry his music,while others stand in awe of the man.this man was a genius, no doubt ab out that. gord

    after seeing that stu had been playing june christy, i decided on june also. i played her best album something cool-capitol.this cd contains both mono and stereo versions.
    i always thought they were the same, but apparently the stereo version was recorded in 1960 with the same musicians and arrangements, they are two completely different
    records. of course the mono is the better version, but the stereo isnt bad either.gord
