I never liked "A Love Supreme'.

I used to know a guy who listened to this album all the time. The unusual thing about that was, it was the only non-hip hop CD he owned. He didn't really listen to anything else besides rap, mostly Afrocentric stuff like X-Clan.

Hah, I notice a lot of people who were rap fans and "Afrocentric" at least having one or two jazz records lol

I knew a guy like this as well. I suspect he was introduced to the Acknowledgement movement of the suite in the film Mo' Better Blues and thought listening to it -- and letting others know he did -- was enought to make him "cultured".

It's great music. I just hope it was a gateway for him to much, much more.

I doubt it. They feel if they listen to one album that's it.

I know, if I could lie about it I would, but what's the point in that?

Look . . let me tell you something . . I take my love of men who play sax, tenor sax very seriously. To be frank, they're a whole lot of jazz tenor sax players albums I'd grab before I grab Mr. Coltrane. Ben Webster, Dexter Gordan, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Sonny Criss, Tina Brooks (genuis and under, underrated) just to name a few. I like Coltrane, have quite a bit of his discography but he's never been amongst my favorite tenor's.

Yep, that's it.

Even so I'll be posting some of Col's stuff on my Tube Channel.
