Late Era Coltrane

I've been seriously been getting into late era John
Coltrane(1965-67) recently. I have "Stellar Regions", so can
anyone recommend any other albums of this era that I should
pick up next?

The most obvious answer is Miles Davis's classic album
"Kind of Blue" (1959). Seen by many (myself included) as one
of the greatest jazz albums of all time. This is some of
Coltrane's finest mid period work. As far as Coltrane's own
albums, "Giant Steps" is usually considered his mid-period
classic. Late-period Coltrane (1965-67 He died in 1967
around 40 years old) is defined by his foray into "free" or
"avant-guard" jazz. The little that I have heard is fucking
fantastic. Incredibly complex and emotional. This music
still sounds radical today, even when compared to Autechre
and the like. Go to Impulse! Records web site and listen to
some clips. I highly recommend "Stellar Regions" if you are
interested in challenging and intellectual music of this
sort. Not for everyone however.

yo empiricus, yea the later coltrane is supreme to all other
music out there, well thats an exaggeration but its
definitly good. his free stuff is grand. see if you can
get some live recordings of his from the late 60's, that
stuff is fuckin wicked.

A Love Supreme is one of the most beautiful and emotional
records ever created.

"Stellar Regions"? I own "Interstellar Space" I think.
Well, not late Trane, but best Trane, 4 me, is "Ballads" and
"Trane meets Duke", both from Impulse records. And for
dates, "Trane for lovers", nice compilation. Anyway, nothing
compares to the first Miles quintet.
