Recommend some Coltrane...

gmku · 06.22.2007, 04:21 PM

I have a few things. I'm wondering what else is worth picking up. What are your favorite Coltrane releases?

Iain · 06.22.2007, 04:26 PM

Interstellar Space.
Olatunji Concert (warning, sketchy lofi tape recording but totally ace)

Savage Clone · 06.22.2007, 04:27 PM

Ascension is my favorite by a mile.

racehorse · 06.22.2007, 04:27 PM

i'd recommend his later stuff...
two of my favourites are the live in seattle record, and the concert in japan double LP.
EDIT. forgot about intersteller space. fab record

Iain · 06.22.2007, 04:29 PM

Olatunji is my favourite of the nadful I've heard.

finding nobody · 06.22.2007, 04:32 PM

Blue Train is epic!

Пятхъдесят Шест · 06.22.2007, 04:34 PM

First to come to mind.

Rob Instigator · 06.22.2007, 04:55 PM

I second Giant Steps. It is a classic.

Of course, get A Love Supreme if you have not gotten it yet.

Much of Mile's early stuff was with 'Trane. Round About Midnight is one of my faves along witrh WORKIN' w/ the miles david quintet

Lush Life is fucking awesome

Blue Train is also fucking wonderful

if you can find it, get the record DUKE ELLINGTON & JOHN COLTRANE

I found it in a record convention. fuck. two giants making fabulous music.

check out My Favorite Things

listen to the the quartet's version of the title track.
McCoy Tyner's solo (3:59) as well Coltrane's insane interval leaps (10:16)
will make you smile. gorgeousness.

also, check out Coltrane's stuff with my main man Thelonious Monk ('Monk's Music' and 'Thelonious Monk with Coltrane' and of course 'Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall') recorded when Coltrane was no longer in Miles' group, kicked out supposedly for his drug dependence and unreliability. Monk said, "Man, you don't need that kind of abuse," and Coltrane joined. They ended up playing the successful Five Spot run that spring and summer in 1957. Monk wanted Sonny Rollins at first, but Coltrane was the one available, etc etc. Many great recordings. Coltrane learned a lot from being in Monk's group.

gmku · 06.22.2007, 07:38 PM

Thanks. You guys rock.

How about Sun Ship? I see that one in the racks here all the time, new reissue, and it looks pretty sweet. McCoy Tyner on piano, Elvin Jones on the skins.

Torn Curtain · 06.23.2007, 08:53 AM

Crescent.

marleypumpkin · 06.23.2007, 03:07 PM

Live @ Birdland

drrrtyboots · 06.23.2007, 03:15 PM

Impressions
Interstellar Space
A Love Supreme

Dead-Air · 06.23.2007, 07:28 PM

Giant Steps for the melodic side, OM for the once a year over the top crazy noise experience. OM is more my favorite, but it's a commitment to listen to it.

Ive pretty much got all the commercially available Coltrane and Sunship is probably my favourite, possibly tied with Crescent. Definitely pick it up I say

jonathan · 06.24.2007, 06:23 PM

As much as I love Coltrane, my exposure to him is fairly limited.

I have VERY limited exposure to his later stuff... with that said...

A Love Supreme
Giant Steps
The Avant-Garde Coltrane and Cherry.

seconded & "thirded" or however you say that.

nick2767 · 06.25.2007, 01:39 PM

Just pick up anything and everything on Impulse records. That's the best suggestion!

demonrail666 · 06.25.2007, 01:46 PM

Giant Steps. After listening to it, you may find yourself never needing to buy another album again. Well, that's bollocks actually, but it is really fucking good.

gmku · 06.25.2007, 02:09 PM

Thanks, I have Giant, actually. I'm needing more of his later, wilder stuff. I'm hearing Sun Ship call my name...
