Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously.

@erik,
Oh, yeah, I heard of Jarrett. But, thanks for reminding me. I have to cue up some recordings of him, too.
Also, The Coltrane 'Ballads' was pretty good.
What would you experts recommend next?

My Favorite Things

Monkey Mind
Truth, is it not so whether we agree or not, approve or not, enjoy or not?
But how and by whom is truth defined?

A Love Supreme

When the student is ready the teacher appears.


Om, Part I & Part II

Dead & Co 11/6/19 played a bit of A Love Supreme within Dark Star. Have heard some of My Favorite Things sandwiched in elsewhere along the way in the past also. 

OP
One never knows when, or if, lightening will strike. Enjoy the ride! Listened to the Beatles Revolution #9 since it first came out, only really 'got it' the last few years, yet Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz on first listen while driving late '80's. Sat parked in the driveway nearly 15 min to learn the name of the artist and piece.

Absolutely!  Big fan of Ornette Coleman. I would like to think that most of us have sat in that parked spot lamenting over artist/track.

Happy Listening!

If Jazz music is improvised...uhh..
And no two solos are alike...
Your going to be doing alot of figuring out.
Its not meant to be "figured out".

If your not connecting in any way now after listening...move on.

Have you figured out Abba yet?
