Sitting in my office listening to this (the album, not only
the song), and even though it's raining and grey skies
outside, it feels like a hot spring (not summer.. that's a
bit far-fetched today...) day.

Anyway.. this guy is a great musician!

my favourite things..

i have the special edition version of a love supreme and ..
neither of the cds really does it for me. perhaps i need to
listen to it more, familiarise myself with it more, but it's
just a tad too inaccessible.

My favourite things is just PERFECT though. beautiful.

i needed a few listens to get into a love supreme. i didnt
realize the seething energy and undercurrent pressure at
first. but then: BOOM.

first jazz album i got was ascension by coltrane. it's
crazy. there are moments in the 40 minutes long song that
are just chaos held together by rhythmic piano and bass. it
gets your orgasms. the religious driving force is always
present. the music sounds very complete somehow.

"A love supreme" is one of my favourite musics in the world.
It's bloody intense.

I never really liked "my favourite things".
:-(

the story behind a love supreme is what gives it its real
energy i think. it's something special in that regard

my very first album was dave brubeck quartet's "time out",
when i was four. now THAT'S orgasmic. in a cool, laid back
way.. :D

Branton or Wynford?

Wynford. It was in reply to Torture Garden. People who
often dislike Coltrane, are silly people who like easy
stuff, that doesn't shock or anything.

To say he's rubbish, is pure rubbish!

now, THAT was silly! :P Coltrane's early stuff is VERY
accessible and enjoyable, and not 'shoking' at all.

especially My Favorite Things - that's beautiful stuff,
indeed.

Torture Garden was probably talking smack... but even if he
is being honest i'm pretty damn sure he's heading the other
way, as in Albert Ayler, Ornette and such... as opposed to
the Marsali (that's the plural term)

i get the impression that he knows more about jazz than
anyone else in this forum...

in any case i loves de Coltrane... between the aformentioned
two i'd go with A Love Supreme... but i'm not entirely sure
that it's my favourite rekkid of his (i certainly DO love
it)... possibly Ole Coltrane, or the Village Vanguard
sessions... or maybe even Ascension... that album is
fucked...

Oddly enough I was listening to this this morning, after
Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. As you know, the title track
is about 13 minutes long, and after 12 minutes my girlfriend
asked if it would ever end... she's not a Coltrane fan.

hahaha! I'd say she isn't a jazz fan, then... the greatest
songs are the neverending improvisation-things!

it's insane to hear how the song mutates from the version on
My Favourite Things to the version on Olatunji...
