Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously.

Hi Everyone,
Listen I have a favor to ask, and those of you better educated in Jazz can help me.

I always have a tough time listening to John Coltrane. It's like he's talking a different language.
Can any of you point me to recordings I should listen to on Tidal or Quboz or whatever that set me up to better appreciate the man?


Thank you for the musical education.

Best,

E

Erik, this article I have posted already in jazz for afc.thread, you may take a look there sometimes, at least it has some very good music.

 I am not sure if understanding is related with liking, so will post few albums with Coltrane that are 'easier' to listen to
