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

Maybe your brain just don’t like the sound of a screaming saxophone playing hundred thousand notes in the right or left channel for hours... :-) Personally prefer Ben Webster. Great live recordings.
Miles Davis "Someday my prince will come" is fine with Coltrane making contributions on the main title and "Teo". This is as far as I will go with JC.. Very good recording too.
