Frogman,
A very young Coltrane in the 1940s heavily influenced by an omnipresent astonishing genius named Charlie Parker is expected. Like all great musicians John found his voice.
Charles,
"Giant Steps" and "Blue Trane" are so different yet I love them both.The Coltrane- Lee Morgan pairing on "Blue Trane" was special and I wish they had done more recordings together.I loved a lot of the Trane and Red Garland quartet/ quintet sessions on Prestige.
Opheus10,
If Trane were removed you'd still have the immense talent of Miles. Make no mistake I love and admire both of these extraordinary musicians. Miles did just fine pre and post Trane. They like all great artists had their own approach and interpretation. They were suberb together as well as separately.
