Tony and Elvin are two percussion prophets. God they're both so amazing in their own ways. Too hard to compare them. Tony is so fucking agile and fast. Elvin's like the meditative explorer but he has power like some sort of boulder. Two painters. Two poets behind the kit. I'd make two separate shrines to them if I weren't so lazy.

Elvin is just one of the best to ever do it. We should be grateful for what he left behind.

Weird listen. Enjoying so far. Completely different to Giant Steps and My Favourite Things. Mad he did all 3 in like 18 months.

Man this one is so damn good. Think it just edges out A Love Supreme and Live at Birdland by just a tad for my 3rd fav Coltrane so far behind My Favorite Things and Blue Train.



8 Coltrane albums (live included) down, a hundred more to go! I think this is the most fun I've had going through a discog since I was first getting into Cradle 20 years ago lol.
