felser Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 For the friend or relative you want to introduce to jazz, Universal has put out a 2CD set entitled John Coltrane - Gold, and has done an amazing job in the track selection. In addition, those sets have crisp remastering, nice notes, and a very low price. Would make a nice gift for someone, or good set to play when company is around. http://www.yourmusic.com/browse/album/John...name=BROWSE_NEW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbro Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I agree. This is way better than any other Trane compilation out there. Including Blue Train as the first track was a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Maybe this is good for introducing someone to Coltrane, but apparently Coltrane died before 1965. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyo Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Good selection indeed. Two tracks from Crescent, woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 After Gold, you can direct your friend to this excellent recap of the Impulse years. It is from 1992, probably out of print, but I would guess can be easily found. Three full CDs. I bought this new in 1992 and was pretty much an Atlantic/Prestige/Love Supreme-only Trane fan at the time. This was a wonderful awakening for me and I still pull it out from time to time. Does not hit Japan, Seatle or Ascention, but does have several late-period nuggets, including Offering http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/product.asp...st&pid=9449 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Do you really want to introduce someone to post-65 Coltrane? Hell yeah. Cut to the chase, shortest distance between two points and all that. Life's too short to think you have one kind of friendship only to find out that you don't.

Post-65 'Trane falls in the category of "music that's played only when the wife isn't home." Bless her because it's a relatively short list, but hey, even after all these years of marriage I still like sex as much as the next guy.

She's been hearing this stuff for 40+ years and adds comments when I play material like this. Sex, Interstellar Space and Spiritual Unity are not strangers.

clifford_thornton Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I know this may dovetail with a certain other thread, but if they can't at least make the effort to dig the music, it's hard to see what they could dig in me...
