I dig it, but (the post-Love Supreme stuff) honestly, it's hard for me to listen to for more than a few minutes. It's just so abstract--and that's cool--but speaking for myself, I need a bit more tangibility. A Love Supreme is my favorite, but I also love Giant Steps. I guess I just need a song more than others, I suppose...

Anyone who doesn't like Coltrane post Love Supreme has a hole in their life bigger than they could possibly imagine.

my favorite stuff is post love supreme. simply pure emotion coming from a horn. i just have to yell and it usually happens when im driving, so i end up almost wrecking my wip.

Yo interstellar is the shit. I mean Venus is just one of the most beautiful songs ever. saturn and jupiter are bomb too.

wow. i'm new to jazz, and this makes everything else I've listened to (1960's rock) sound like garbage

When I started out on drums, I used to drum along with that entire record. Good practice, sticks, brushes, mallets. That record never sounded foriegn to me ever. I only listened to Ascension once. A little too heavy, Meditations and Expression are up there too. My personal favorite is Interstellar Space.

DAMN Dolphy is killin. Hey who here likes post Love Supreme Stuff? It's reported to be hated in certain circles.

Best groove in the history of jazz

John Coltrane was brilliant. Elvin Jones said he was an angel...a "real" angel!Jazz is America's music and a real treasure. If you want to help transform John Coltrane's New York home into a jazz museum, google search The Coltrane Home or The Kids for Coltrane for more info. Also, if you are in New York check out the great classes on jazz offered at Jazz at Lincoln Center. My teacher is the one and only Phil Schaap...The class on Coltrane is terrific!
