Coltrane died of liver cancer at the age of 40 on July 17, 1967 (i.e. 56 years ago from today).
Feel free to discuss anything about Coltrane and the works he has been featured in. There are many that want to dive into his extant—and some lesser known—works, so, let's recommend and share our favorites.
I really like ascension I; it was a difficult listen at first but, after a while you just want to listen to it again. It's so coherent despite being, what might be called, random. Also, the intro is absolutely terrific! But I couldn't really get into meditations: I guess because it is a work that deviates further from "non-free" jazz. Among his primary works, I don't have a clear favorite; but the closest contender is blue train—I've heard people complain about the other musicians not being on par with coltrane on this album, what's with that? ( I haven't listened to many of his hard/post bop albums).
Sorry, if some of these posts seem "low effort" to you; I just want this community to be more active! (I think creating a weekly "what are you listening/recs" thread or, maybe, a jazz playing thread would be good, wdyt?)
