Geeze, how stupid of me...I missed this thread somehow!If you are going to get a Coltrane disk, try and get The Gentle Side Of John Coltrane
A very nice album that showcases Coltrane's style, but that doesn't go too much into his rather unique style.
Also by Coltrane I have, My Favorite Things and A Love Supreme
My favorite things is quite good, but A Love Supreme is genius.
Sticking with a Coltrane theme don't forget the work he did with Miles Davis including, what is in my opinion the best Jazz album recorded: Kind Of Blue and '58 Miles Featuring Stella by Starlight.
'58 Miles also features a wonderful version of "On Green Dolphin Street." and another great sax man, Cannonball Adderley.
To round out the list, Charlie "Bird" Parker.
Charlie Parker With Strings: The Master Takes which I have heard some soulful songs off of and plan to buy with my next pay....
and another one I have at work, the title of which escapes me at the moment.
That is enough for now, I may have more later.
