Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously.

Tenor Madness

So many comments about Coltrane "not being an easy listen" or "taking time to digest", or something in that direction. It seems that many like to work hard.

I enjoy Kind Of Blue, not too often, own A Love Supreme (I tried, at least), and tried to convince myself there is something to other Miles Davis’ albums and that A Love Supreme is really great. Eventually, I admitted to myself I am a peasant who likes some other things more.

One of them being Tenor Madness by Sonny Rollins mentioned in the post above.

skyscraper,

Now when you mentioned it, have you ever bought Let It Bleed SACD? It was a topic from many months ago.

erik_squires,

Have you ever figured Frank Sinatra out? That one is a mystery to me on the level of John Coltrane to you.

@glupson

I think you can slide into Sinatra via Mel Torme and Tony Bennet. :)
