Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously.

Hi Everyone,
Listen I have a favor to ask, and those of you better educated in Jazz can help me.

I always have a tough time listening to John Coltrane. It's like he's talking a different language.
Can any of you point me to recordings I should listen to on Tidal or Quboz or whatever that set me up to better appreciate the man?


Thank you for the musical education.

Best,

E

I think you can slide into Sinatra via Mel Torme and Tony Bennet. :)



Also, don't make this weird.

"Also, don't make this weird."
No worries, I took your advice literally.

Hi Eric,
Maybe it’s not about getting Coltrane but you simply don’t like trumpet sound.
This is the case with me. I love piano or acoustic guitar a lot more than trumpet.
I could listen to Bill Evans, Stan Gets or Joao Jilberto all the time but only once in a while listen to Miles or Coltrane.

Let me correct myself.
maybe you don’t like saxophone in case of Coltrane.
