I always start w/ Giant Steps.

"meditations" is a great album; takes a little more patience perhaps. but i was
able to get into it - really into it- right away for some reason.
In the past I would study with "Black Pearls" playing at a low level in the background. It always put me at ease. When friends who are not familiar with JC ask for a suggestion on where to start I would always play the song "My Favorite Things" on vinyl through vacuum tubes. If that kept their interest the next album would be "A Love Supreme." I do this because that is how JC was introduced to me years ago. I went on a mission buying his ballads and picking the brains of other JC fans who would share their insight on their favorite albums and songs.

I saw Coltrane perform "My Favorite Things" with the same group you have on that record. To say it was an unforgettable night is an understatement.

Enjoy the music.
