Ok then, I'll see your Coltrane Standard (actually Guy Wood and Robert Mellin)(don't be impressed, that part I had to look up) and raise you a Mingus Classic.

And while I'm at it, I also raise a glass of Wild Turkey to you as well

:)

I think we've mentioned before that the Coltrane-Hartmann album is one of the most beautiful ever recorded

I wish Coltrane had recorded more stuff like this.

It's like finding out your favorite gospel singer is hotter leaning on a piano emoting 'Birds do it....'

Epa,
I don't remember discussing that, but I agree with you.

I am a Coltrane lover. If my wife and I had had a son, we were going to name him Coltrane, and call him Coal.

I love Coltrane most hardcore/outthere music; the stuff from 1965-67 is my favorite.

However, as you say, it is amazing to find that his album with Johnny Hartman is right up there with the stuff I love the most.

MR,
Check out Chris Botti.

I am a lover of Chuck Mangione.

I'm starting to think I might love Chris Botti' style just as much.

Yep, I remember the conversation because I bought the Coltrane/Hartman album because of it. And have never been sorry.

I like Mangione as well but have never listened to Botti much. So I'll take your advice.
