Nice one - my daughter just got her first record player and bought her first record this week - until that arrived she had to settle for my fathers old records, mostly piano jazz (Peterson, Garner, Tatum).
She chose the albums based on the covers ... and listened to some music that was totally new to her.
@kali66 It's moving that you took the time to listen to the whole album. I know, it's not Mr. Coltrane's easiest one and the live version is tough even for those that listen to him all the time :-)
@kali66 But it is greatest music, indeed... If you ever wished to listen to something more "comfortable" also for your hurting eardrums, try "My favorite things" (from the original album not one of the zillions of live version... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWG2dsXV5HI)
@kali66 All of them very good company for chocolate cake "cooking" and yes, not lying in bed music (unless one wanted to be slapped on the face by the partner because distracted by the music... lol)
my thoughts are... this is very abstract music, i dont particularly like favorite things just becasue i cannot help having julie andrews in my head and that doesnt go together with his style. at times it is like he whispers in your ear ... with a sax! .. that is no mean feat, but in general i find saxaphone hard to listen to, so i have to admit it will never be my favourite music style. i can appreciate the virtuosity though. My grandfather was a saxophone player, he was quite shy once he lost his teeth and breath so i didnt hear him often, but he was in bands when he was younger, i have photos of him looking suave.
on an entirely different note, we find ourselves in need of new members for the 5+@ self portrait group and wonder if you would be interested in taking up a weekly spot, either wednesday or sunday....we all enjoy your work very much :)
@kali66 as to music: The fact is, I used to play saxophone and probably Mr. Coltrane's is music beloved by musicians in general and by saxophonists in particular. You're right, it is abstract, but when you start being comfortable with its abstraction, all the rest is something already heard...
As to being admitted in the 5+@ group... oh my, thank you I am honored (and it's not a cliché)! I accept wholeheartedly!
yay!!! we are going through a big revamp so you can be part of the rebranding too, i will set you up with admission to the inner sanctum in due course
