John Coltrane

[BigH]

Have seen a number of articles about Trane - especially since the anniversary of his death was not too long ago . . . the following link is a nice article - and it has a phrenetic version of My Favourite Things - unlike from his album of the same title.

Thanks for the link BigH, I liked the essay above all the following excerpt:

In late works, or so the conventional view maintains, the artist’s personality “breaks through the envelope of form to better express itself, transforming harmony into the dissonance of its suffering, and disdaining sensual charms with the sovereign self-assurance of the spirit liberated.”

Granted, the late Coltrain is anything but easy to listen

Have you tried Franklin Kiermeyer? He has an album out "Further" .. . what I call controlled chaos . . .
