Coltrane

(1/3) > >>

surreality:
I've been listening to him a bit, does anyone know any songs they can reccomend?

Gryff:
"Be my lover don't play no game
Just play me John Coltrane"

Bastardous Bassist:
The entire "Giant Steps" album.  Seriously, that's one of my top 10 "need to own" CDs for a jazz collection.  It's just so vitally important.

ALoveSupreme:
most of the jazz dudes I know always said Giant Steps was completely overrated.  I can't produce any reasons why, but it's what they said.

Anyhow, A Love Supreme or Impressions were two good albums.  It depends, Coltrane was really versatile, soooo, I dunno, just google his shit and check some of it out, chances are you'll like it.

Bastardous Bassist:
Both of those are probably poor choices for somebody just getting into 'Trane, in my opinion.  I can understand why Giant Steps is said to be overrated.  I kind of feel the same way myself, but I also think it's vital for a jazz collection because of the importance that has been placed on it.  I personally prefer Sonny, but I recognize that 'Trane had more of an impact on jazz sax.  Blue Train is another great choice, as is My Favorite Things, but Giant Steps is famous for a reason, and I think that reason is probably that it's one of the most accessible.
