Top 5 John Coltrane Albums

[@seamuscolgan7654]

100% agreement! Blue Train & A Kind Of Blue were my first two jazz LP's and they are both still Top 5 jazz albums for me.

[@starseedandco.]

I also highly recommend 'Coltrane's Sound' (1964) if you haven't heard it in full yet. Though it consists of tracks left out of 'My Favourite Things', I find myself listening more to it than the latter..

[@qwafgjolmfpjbfszxgg1142]

Strongly agree!

Hey mate, I bought latest blue train remaster. Holy it sounds very good, I loooove listening to it now.

[@top5records796]

The Blue Note Tone Poet? It is indeed spectacular!

[@felipeguatura]

Although it was no surprise, I loved your top 5. I think you touched on very good points... my top 5, for example, would be: My Favorite Things (1961) Giant Steps (1960) A Love Supreme (1965) Blue Train (1958) Ballads (1963)

[@top5records796]

Thank you! I also love your Top 5! I recently bought a 2nd US pressing of My Favorite Things and truly start to revalue that album.

Great choices

[@docbobster]

Great choices. Crescent is right near the top for me, as is "First Meditations" (early version of "Meditations" but I like it better).

[@lucullus6127]

Great choices indeed ! SOULTRANE was reissued, about 1968-72, with different cover, which says Stereo, but : ( here is a comment from discogs: It may say stereo on the cover, but this album is pure, glorious MONO, with sound that is full-bodied, relaxed, Tubey Magical and tonally correct . Here is the palpable jazz energy, the life of the music, that’s sure to be missing from whatever dead-as-a-doornail Heavy Vinyl pressing is being stamped out these days.) I have such a copy, and it really sounds fantastic.

I really like your sweater. Where'd you get it?

[@top5records796]

Thank you! Actually my mother made it for me! I’ll tell her you like it!

[@thewandererslibrary9928]

@@top5records796 Tell her she did an amazing job. Do you think she could make me one?

Sweater making is a key skill where he comes from.

Blue train and crescent are my fav followed by giant steps

[@terrok91998]

Nice video!

[@top5records796]

Thanks!

[@bandabrownsugar7814]

Good tips ! Do you like samba jazz from Brazil?

[@top5records796]

Thanks! Do you mean like Getz/Gilberto?

[@bandabrownsugar7814]

@@top5records796 Yeah, but not just this one. Have you listen “Rio 65 Trio” with Don Salvador on piano?

[@davidthom7127]

Please tell me what your record playing system is ?

[@top5records796]

A Thorens TD160 with a Orthofon Blue for stereo and a White for mono. Receiver is a Marantz 2217 with DynAudio BM6A MK1 speakers.

[@JohnMoog-ug6bk]

Some others: Crescent, Coltrane’s Sound, Afro Blue Impressions

[@michaelgismondi9861]

Honestly, Coltrane Live at Birdland and Live at the Village Vanguard dominates your list, which is interesting, but your list doesnt begin to capture the classic Coltrane quartet at its peak, IMO.

[@tiborosz1825]

Where is Olé?

[@top5records796]

Nr. 6

[@jay1frk]

Don't really disagree with your selections, EXCEPT how could you not include "My Favorite Things" It's what put John Coltrane over the top with jazz and non-jazz listeners....Peace
