there has been a little controversy on the subject of john coltrane and his music. of course i am among his biggest fans.in a recent post i stated that icould not understand
how some people just dont like his work and others are in awe of everything he recorded.then i thought i dont like his album a love supreme, how could ilike his jazz but dislike
an album many fans consider a masterpiece. so today i get out the headphones and crank up the volume and i am going to listen to this album and see if i can finally get it.
hopefully when i am finished i will love this record like all his other stuff.gord

Great playing, but does not do half as much for me as the last link. A bit too frentic for me

A lot of Coltrane is a difficult listen, especially some of his later stuff.
"Alabama" and "After the Rain" are two of my favorite all-time pieces of recorded music.
McCoy Tyner plays "Naima", on "Echoes of a Friend", better than Coltrane put together.

Joe Farrell, on Elvin Jones first solo album, "Agape Love", with Buster Thompson on bass,
is more incredible sax and flute playing.
I went to Toronto to see Joe live, and he made a big pass at my girlfriend.
So he even really impressed even that non-musician.
By the time I saw the light at the end of her tunnel, she was seeing stars.
Jus'sayin'.

I have admitted to liking some early Coltrane stuff but see my post of jan 17th on the
"rating the jazz piece above" thread for my true leanings.

This combination of hail and snowflakes, swirling against the stained glass and metal church roof,
kinda sounded like some John Coltrane with a flutist, phased and echoing the strident sounds.
That's if Jimi Hendrix was recording it, capturing those dichotemal elements in stereo.

Duplicity, not dichotemy, might not be as understood as a word in Europe or the disUnited States.
This is a new word, a play on the name Duplessis, now known as the most corrupt Quebec premier.
Jus'typin', in proper English.
