Arpit Bharti What why? Where did he say this

@@thesten6982 his patreon, it was posted to reddit as well.

shhhh it was supposed to be on the down low for now

Couldn’t have said it any better myself.

Summertime is also an amazing track. Love how the heavy hitting section fights the swing section

will do, thanks

underrated? really/

@@Pretzels722for normal jazz listeners it’s not well know.

Thanks. I'm still a relatively new listener. I liked A Love Supreme and Giant Steps. Hope I like the other ones you've recommended as well.

I would only recommend those albums first if you are going to move ahead to Ascension. Now, if you're just beginning your Coltrane listening experience, let me recommend several other records first. A Love Supreme and Giant Steps are 2 of the first handful of records I'd recommend anybody. The others are as follows: a Miles Davis album he appears on called "Relaxin With The Miles Davis Quintet" (1956), Blue Train (1957), and My Favorite Things (1960). Like David Bowie, Coltrane changed all the time. Each year, he was kind of a different artist. So, if you like the records I've mentioned, if you've got a feel for him and enjoy his work, THEN you're able to move forward with his work from 1965. I would actually recommend several other records - and several other artists, really - after this prior to Ascension. Oliver really didn't mention a whole lot in his video. He just kind of threw his listeners/watchers in the deep end with Ascension. Have you ever listened to Ornette Coleman? You might not like free jazz. It's not for everyone. It's not exactly my favorite genre. I like the beginnings of it. I like Coltrane's year of 1965. In fact, I think the records I mentioned in the other post (Transition, Sun Ship, First Mediations) are his greatest work with his quartet. You CANNOT talk about the music of Coltrane these years without talking about McCoy Tyner on piano and Elvin Jones on drums. (And, I suppose, Jimmy Garrison on bass, but I don't always hear the bass above the other 3, so, I can't speak with any authority.) Coltrane's growth as an artist in 1965 was incredible. After the recording of A Love Supreme in December 1964, he just accelerated somehow. He wasn't growing year by year at that point, but month by month, week by week, session by session. The graph should show him ending with Ascension, but that actually comes before Transition, Sun Ship and First Mediations. If you would like, I would gladly recommend other albums or artists for you. If you GET Ascension upon your first listen, you're a better listener than I ever was.

@@chrisdelisle3954 Well I appreciate your informed opinion on this man's music. I have a feeling it might take me a while before I move to Ascension because from what I've read in other people's comments, it seems like an intensely difficult record to dive into if you're unfamiliar with his other works. I do like Ornette Coleman. I have heard his albums 'The Shape OF Jazz To Come' and 'The Change Of The Century' and enjoyed them a lot. I haven't heard the one that Oliver mentioned, 'Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation',but I'll make sure to listen to that one as well as I'm sure it must be quite an impressive record. I have listened to some songs from 'Blue Train' and 'My Favorite Things' but not the whole albums yet. I really enjoyed what I heard. I probably do like free jazz since it has elements of dissonance, atonality and the avant-garde which appeals to me. Then again it might be that I enjoy the beginnings of it and need to delve further to see if it really is my thing. It's great that you mentioned Coltrane's ever-changing growth as a musician as now I think that's going to give me even more reason to listen to most of his work. I am looking forward to when I do get to listen to Ascension. Fingers crossed I get it. Cheers for all your suggestions.

Re: Ascension - well, if you have 40 minutes and nothing to do, or need to paint a wall or something, it must be on KZfaq somewhere, right? I am glad you like Ornette. That early period of his in the late 50's, early 60's is great. Have you ever listened to Charles Mingus? Eric Dolphy? Art Tatum? Art Tatum has been referred to as "God on piano." As incredible as Oscar Peterson is on piano, Tatum is better. I am no musician and don't know a key from a chord from a note, but to my layman's ears, Ornette Coleman's "Free Jazz" is actually quite structured. When I heard it, it just sounded like a regular song but longer and with more solos. Ascension is a little bit different and feels less structured.

Oh, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Thelonious Monk, as well. If you would like a couple of introductory records for these artists, here goes: Art Tatum - any of his Solo Masterpieces on Pablo Records from the early 1950's (I have the 7-disc box set); Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Rip, Rig & Panic (with Elvin Jones on drums, Jaki Byard on piano) or Bright Moments (a 2-disc live set from 1973...amazing); Charles Mingus - Mingus At Antibes (live in 1960 with Eric Dolphy) or Let My Children Hear Music (1971)...although he's got 4 stone cold classics he recorded in 1959...and then there's his live recordings from 1964 which are incredible (also with Dolphy); Thelonious Monk - basically anything he ever recorded is worth it, but my favorite is Monk & Trane (1957...one of Trane's best, as well) and Solo Monk (1965)...but again, anything he did was great; Eric Dolphy - everybody will tell you Out To Lunch from 1964, but that wouldn't be the first place I'd recommend...try Live In Europe (Volume 1) from 1961 if you can find it...or Far Cry (1960)...recorded the same day he performed on Ornette Coleman's "Free Jazz!"; let me add Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus (1956) and Tour De Force (also 1956)...I love Coltrane, but Rollins is kind of the perfect saxophone player at times. Ascension might take you places - it depends on the listener - but it might also be noise to your ears. I think the records I've recommended would be both honey to your ears and are jam-packed with artistic expression.

Great picks!

Be careful. Once you start it’s hard to stop :-)

Idles are industry plants. So are proto martyr

W;P That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

W;P every artist is an “industry plant” unless they self produce all their work. Dumb statement.

What are the other 2? Still delving into Coltrane, so I'm basic with my Giant Steps and Love Supreme

Well my other two favourites are A Love Supreme and Blue Train. He had made a lot of fantastic albums.

But should have picked My Favorite Things

I feel you. But have you tried more than once? Or maybe read about free jazz and how jazz came to this? I think it's realyy worth it once you get used to

nah

Louis Armstrong said Bebop killed jazz. Older guys now think hip hop grooves are killing it. Jazz needs to progress or it will die.
