Coltrane "Live" at the Village Vanguard There’s a lot of reasons to listen to this record. Even though it was recorded in 61 there’s sonic spatters of sounds from all over his career. Dolphy makes an appearance and the final track is a trio and Elvin Jones goes off. |

Interstellar Space by John Coltrane This album provides the listener with the deepest look available into Coltrane’s soul. He had volumes he needed to express and the duet platform with drummer Rashied Ali gave him the perfect opportunity. Coltrane cries in the agony of existential pain and beseeches us to find the love to light the way. This is simultaneously the sound of acknowledging the place of a single human being seen as a creature of the universe facing death and his creator while bestowing truth flawless by design by avoiding language. And no man on earth could have improved on Ali’s accompaniment. The percussion is in every way perfect. It’s very hard and certainly beyond my writing abilities to express how great this music is. |

That album feels like it could all unravel at any moment but they keep it so fluid and pack so much into it all. It's transcendental. I used to call it my favourite but now that's like a five way tie.
EDIT: I'm also listening to it now.

Soultrane by Coltrane Great name. I love the way this record was recorded in 1958. Everything about it is crystal clear with no bull****. Garland is fantastic on the piano. This is just great jazz pure as snow. |

Echoes of a Friend by McCoy Tyner Well, I guess this is that last of my Coltrane Nativity Observance listens. Again, this is a record I have a long relationship with and have listened to many times. Solo piano and it’s very full and lush. It’s from all the way back in 72 but Tyner displays a very different sound. It’s a beautiful tribute to Coltrane unapologetically presented in his new style. |
