This is one of John Coltrane's more accessible recordings, sitting at the midpoint between his earlier, more traditional sound (if it could ever really be described as that) and his later, sonically and spiritually wilder free jazz. There's a reason this man has churches dedicated to him.

Yeah this is the only one I've heard. But worth relistens

It's one of those albums, like Trout Mask Replica, that people get pushed toward when there are plenty of other ways to approach an artist's work.

Another album from his transitional period.

Earlier album from while he was still in Miles Davis's band and was recorded about a month after they did Kind Of Blue. This is where he started to strike out on his own, but before he recruited the other members of his own legendary quartet.
