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

If Jazz music is improvised...uhh..
And no two solos are alike...
Your going to be doing alot of figuring out.
Its not meant to be "figured out".

If your not connecting in any way now after listening...move on.

Have you figured out Abba yet?

What is it you are trying to understand?

Ask yourself what is it you understand about another genre?

Dont try and understand Jazz.

Your sort of non connection to Coltrane just means its outside of your taste for listening.

How many Yanni or Nana Maskouri albums do.you own?

So what if you dont dig Coltrane.

Move on.
