On: Lost John Coltrane Recording from 1963 Will Be Rel...

[_emacsomancer_]

_Blue Train_ is probably a better one to start with.

If you're going down this path, I'd say _My Favorite Things_, because people might actually know the song.

I'd say Olé is even better. You can cut the air with a knife when the title track is playing.

Such a rewarding song, Olé. An interpretation of an old Republican civil war song, pure bliss when the melody kicks in.

The melody is very strong. Also when Trane's last solo kicks in is something really strong.

What I really like about him is when he just screams like a total madman through the saxophone. That's why one of my favorite albums from him is the last live The Olatunji Concert with Pharoah Sanders, where the sick man just roars like a lion. Horrible sound quality but I'd say his strongest band and absolutely brilliant music.

Live at Birdland was my Coltrane gateway drug.

Afro Blue... Actually more for the McCoy Tyner piano work but the whole ensemble is wonderful.
