I've got to be in the right mood to fully appreciate and enjoy his music but I suppose that's the same for everyone.I used to like Coltrane, but it's been years since I last listened to anything.
Many, many years ago when I was a bar DJ, I used to play 'My Favourite Things' mainly down to it was the only album of his I had on vinyl! When it comes to guys like him and Miles Davis, I try to keep an eye out for albums which have musicians I like, for Coltrane, I like the albums when he plays with McCoy Tyner,
Not strictly John Coltrane albums, but he played with Miles Davis for a few albums, and I remember being told they were pretty good. I will give them a listen to and get back to you!
You must listen to the album Blue Train, there is no twiddly plinky stuff going on at all!Yes, I was kind of into jazz for a while having gone down various rabbit holes of what could broadly be termed 'mod' but which encompasses ska, reggae, blues, proper RnB (no thongs!) and even Latin. My collection is fairly broad. I have come to the conclusion that to really 'get' jazz you have to be a muso yourself, which I'm not, just a lover of good tunes. As such, I have drifted from jazz towards stuff that I engage with on a more emotional level. I don't dislike it, but it's like with shaving, you like a lot of things but go through phases where you reach for certain things more than others. In my current frame of mind I'm either looking for feelgood stuff like reggae or something like Rammstein to carry the stress away. I will come back to twiddly plinky goodness at some point when there's less going on.
