Coltrane

"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.

Listening to India as I type this. Going through the '61 Village Vanguard recordings right now.

The '61 Village Vanguard box is outstanding! Nice choice Donjr.
