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

And Ah
On Coltrane '58: The Prestige Recordings "Lush Life" and "I want to talk about you". They are on Qobuz 

On Coltrane Plays The Blues try the iconic "Mr. Syms" (on Qobuz too).

Then pease listen to all of these albums or if not for you then chacun à son goût and hasta la vista señor.

Please listen to "Theme For Ernie", "Body And Soul" and "My Favorite Things" that will make him easy to step into or forgetaboutit. Duke Ellington & John Coltrane "In a sentimental mood" also a singular gem.

John Coltrane for many is quintessential.
