What is your favourite Coltrane album ?


I would like to have one or two of his record albums. Recording quality is important too, of course. And what are the best pressings, original American, Japanese pro, something else?
I am familiar with his sound but not well enough.

Any of the albums with Miles especially-
Workin-Steamin-Relaxin-Cookin (Prestige)

My Favorite Things-(Atlantic)

Bags and Trane(Atlantic)

Love Supreme(Impulse)

If you like these then get the rest.
I've seen there is an XRCD version of "Black Pearls", which I've never heard but wondered why it was singled out for the JVC catalog. Any fans of that release?
Inna - I think the 3 you mention are good places to start. Something not mentioned so far (at least give a listen to it on Tidal or Spotify): Coltrane Live at the Half Note "One Down, One Up". Has great ambiance.
I agree with Mapman's choices. If it has to be kept to two choices it has to be Giant Steps and A Love Supreme as the two which best give a sense of the scope of one of the very greatest jazz musicians of all time. Giant Steps turned the world of improvised music upside down and would forever alter the way the saxophone would sound in jazz. A Love Supreme is, arguably, his best recording. An open window into Coltrane's deep spirituality, this four movement "suite" is modal and free jazz at it's greatest. In some ways difficult to listen to, but utterly amazing music.
