Scott Dolan Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) The day I received the Village Vanguard box and heard him and Dolphy blowing India, I was hooked for life. It's what eventually led to me having nearly 100 discs worth of Coltrane material as a leader, and why my son's middle name is Coltrane. Dig in, xybert! Edited January 20, 2014 by Scott Dolan Quote

The VV 1961 box is a hole in my collection that i thought i might be able to get away with but i can see i'm going to have to get it at some point. Cheers. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 That was my first, and still most cherished Coltrane title. Essential. Quote
Milestones Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Posted March 17, 2014 I'm ready to keep this thread going. There is simply so much stuff he recorded for the label. I'm now into Side Steps, and there is certainly some fine stuff there. The best of the complete albums found here are Mating Call with Dameron and Soul Junction with Red Garland. Just lots of wonderful stuff. What's not to love when you hear the great Coltrane--in fine form throughout--with such artists as Mal Waldron, Hank Mobley, Garland, Dameron, Bryd, Philly Joe,etc. Quote
mjzee Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Just listened tonight to Trane's version of Invitation from Standard Coltrane. Great arrangement, beautiful playing from all concerned. Trane and Wilbur Harden made a great team; if you can, seek out their work on Savoy. Quote
