That's the Coltrane!
This weekend, after being totally in awe of John's sax work on Miles Davis Kind of Blue recently, I decided to give a couple of Mr. Coltrane's solo album efforts a try. (Is jazz ever really solo?)
Anyway, I remembered from way back when that John Coltrane's Blue Train was a highly regarded classic. Let me tell you, whoever I remembered saying that, they were very right! Oh wow, what a wonderful jazz CD. Just the right pace, not overbearing at all. It's just downright some of the best jazz you will ever hear. Sure, it's more uptempo than Kind of Blue. But that's ok too, we like a bit of variety. Excellent Jazz CD. :5:
Also, I picked up one called Coltrane for Lovers. Fairly nice CD. Not on par with Blue Train. But a nice mood piece. Of course, the mode for loving. There is some vocals with this one. Sort of surprised me really when the deep voice came on. After only 1 listen, I can't say exactly how much I like this CD yet. But it's a keeper none the less.
