John Coltrane

“I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I’m doing… the emotional reaction is all that matters. As long as there’s some feeling of communication, it isn’t necessary that it be understood.” - John Coltrane

“He was only really concerned about playing his music and growing as a musician, that’s all he thought about. He couldn’t be seduced by a woman’s beauty because he had already been seduced by the beauty of music, and he was loyal to his wife. Whereas for me, after the music was through, I was out the door seeing what pretty lady I was going to be with that night.” -miles davis on coltrane

"You can play a shoestring if you're sincere." -- John Coltrane

Just starting to get into his work, his studio and live discography is so vast, if anybody feels like dropping their top 5 (studio and or live albums) here, so I can organize an order of listening, it would be much appreciated. I feel when I go in with a plan, when evaluating a large discography, I can better appreciate the music, as I am less scatter brained in how I go about listening. Thanks in advance, beautiful music.

He might be the goat

I just have a kink for 1964-66 jazz albums.

"There is never any end... There are always new sounds to imagine; new feelings to get at. And always, there is the need to keep purifying these feelings and sounds so that we can really see what we've discovered in its pure state." -- John Coltrane

"In short, Coltrane's tone is beautiful because it is functional. In other words, it is always involved in saying something. You can't separate the means that a man uses to say something from what he ultimately says. Technique is not separated from its content in a great artist." -- Cecil Taylor

"Jazz is a word they use to sell our music, but to me that word does not exist. It is music." -- John Coltrane

The only correct and acceptable religion is the one that worships John Coltrane as the living incarnation of god, because yes.

coltrane is such a sick last name though

John Coltrane was when humanity peaks. All of human activity afterwards has just been a footnote in comparison

John Coltrane and Miles Davis are the kings of jazz

"Bahia" (1965) is a solid and really underrated album from Coltrane. Totally recommended for anyone who loves transitions between eras and genres.

his last live recording made me shit my pants halfway through

shit, cat.

The hardest question for me to answer is "What's your favorite John Coltrane album"

Jazz Genius, brilliant composer, he plays jazz like as if you were his best friend. Presents jazz perfectly on a tasty plate. Even his free jazz works are very cozy and friendly.
