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

erik_squires,

Have you ever figured Frank Sinatra out? That one is a mystery to me on the level of John Coltrane to you.

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

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