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

As a beatnik, I listen to jazz a lot. I also smoke pot and own a Bonneville ( I have beret someplace). Note that jazz as an astonishing art form is less popular than polka so hey...if you don't get it that's OK as most people don't, a thing I'm used to..."Kind of Blue" is relatively accessible to many brains...modal...try that maybe.
