After reading a Coltrane interview last night, listened to a bit of this this morning:

And also a bit of this:

Ellington and Coltrane playing together. As I once heard it put: the divine and the... divine.

Listened in it's entirety during my walk at lunch. Not for the faint of heart.

Maybe I haven't listened to enough Coltrane but I get the impression that he didn't have a ton of melodic sense, and made up for it with shocking pieces like this.

I dunno, I get the sense that he's supposed to be an important artist, and he did do something different from others of his day, but usually I'm not crazy about his playing.

This is the most I've enjoyed a new listen in a while. Great percussion.

Gerry Mulligan Radio on Spotify

Spotify threw in this track based on my listening history:



One of the nicest tracks I've heard in a while..

Wonder if there's a requirement for modern jazz to be pensive and intellectual and not fun at all?

 

[rousseau]

But about modern jazz artists, at least Stanley Cowell recorded the encore from the show of his we saw at the Vanguard..

Listening to the State of Jazz playlist on Spotify to check out the pensive ratio. This one has a shred of fun, but it's borderline..
