I must take back my previous rating and comments. This finally clicked for me today

Nice! When it does, booooom, you're sold.

For sure. Can't wait to revisit this too

Wow this discog isn't intimidating at all is it, christ

pick 1 or 2 albums from each era and you'll be good

55-61: w/ miles davis and thelonious monk
62-62: quartet
66-67: free jazz

collabs with duke, milt jackson, and don cherry are also v good imo too

Cool gtk thx

god i forgot how visceral and mentally exhausting this was

Yet also very calming and relaxing! For some weird reason it always works that way for me.

i think that's called adhd trif

appreciate the theory behind free jazz more than i enjoy the sound (although this playthrough was actually quite delightful)

This was anxiety-inducing the first time I heard it, probably my favorite Trane now.

i used to fear the lack of boundaries

Ahaha then I only have ADHD when I listen to this album. It could happen, the world is a mysterious place after all.

Coltrane might be my single favorite artist of all-time.

If you guys are looking for more crazy Coltrane don't miss the Olatunji concert. It's his last recording and, coupled with the lo-fi quality, there's an aura of madness to it. There's a half an hour take of My Favorite Things for instance

One of the greatest live albums ever.

yea that shit slaps

this is prob in my top 3 of jazz along with spiritual unity and unit structures. need to listen to more of the genre but a lot of the early bebop/hard bop/post-bop stuff falls a bit flat for me

Exhausting is exactly what I would call this. I want to like it but it’s just too much for me mostly lol

I got through the entirety of Ascension today, what do I win? I even managed to extract a decent amount of enjoyment from the experience. Hit a groove somehow. I tried in the past and completely gave up in all honesty.
