Coltrane gave me an appreciation for Miles.
I saw Davis play towards the end of his career as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Good lord was he awful! I swore i would never listen to anything related to Miles again. EVER!
Fast forward to 2015: a friend sold me about 6 crates of vinyl for $50.00 USD. In the crates were some miles and coltrane. Including "Kinda Blue" (original Columbia pressing on the 'eye dot' logo). I thought "what the hell?" I came away OMG!
The clarity, enunciation, fluidity was there. It made me realize what i had missed all these years. This made me dive into Coltrane a little more. He does take a little effort, but the journey is well worth the trip.
