John Coltrane

<< < (3/3)

Bastardous Bassist:
I think McCoy did better on his own, and unfortunately the first quintet kind of has a tough time standing up to the second one to me.  There's really nobody I prefer in the first vs. the second quintet.  Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.  Okay, I prefer Miles' playing with the first quintet, but there's always Freddie Hubbard to rectify that.  Not only do I prefer the musicians, I also prefer playing the compositions, though they're much more difficult (Wayne Shorter had an interesting approach to writing changes).

carrotosaurus:
What you need to do is listen to Live at Birdland. The man was at the top of his game. I think it's the absolute pinnacle of Contrane, and being a sax player I've heard waaayy too much Coltrane.
