JSngry Posted yesterday at 12:11 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:11 AM Gonna read a lot this weekend, should be fun, thanks! Wait, might watch a bunch of baseball. Fun there too, thanks! Or maybe I'll listen to one of my favorite Bill Barron records: If I can find it that is... it's not in the "B"s... But seriously, my 2-fer is filed with Coltrane because that's the first name on the cover. But it's a Wilbur Harden record, and if I would ever come across an OG, it would go under H. Same thing with this one and Cecil: That's a Cecil Taylor record, period. But it's filed under C anyway...and not for Cecil. But Coltrane smiles!!!

JSngry Posted yesterday at 04:08 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:08 AM Back to the original topic - assuming that the reason so many Coltrane albums use photos of Coltrane is simply because Coltrane was a hot ticket (again, relative to the market), maybe the next question is why so many photographers took the same type of photograph of Coltrane? To that end, I've always like this one quite a lot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the strange colouring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted yesterday at 06:51 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:51 AM Another Coltrane thing: No cheesecake. Not ever. And only one abstract artwork (Coltrane plays the blues). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Savoy Coltrane was not the leader, but Wilbur Harden. https://jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Harden/harden-disc.php They were reissued with Coltrane listed first to increase sales potential.

Pim Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I always loved the covers of Mediations and A Love Supreme. Transition is probably the most ugly. I could see what you mean but I must say Coltrane was a pretty photogenic man. He has some kind of natural charisma that shows of on the pictures that were made of him.

But Coltrane smiles!!! I have that as Cecil Taylor's "Hard Driving Jazz" on United Artists, with the race car cover. It stays in T. It's a pretty strong album, actually. The band plays well with Cecil and even Dorham, who famously hated the circumstances and supposedly tried to undermine the whole thing, comes off sounding good.
