“Jazz never ends... it just continues.”

Recorded in 1961, this is Coltrane stretching out into something hypnotic and almost cinematic. The repeating rhythm creates this incredible sense of movement while Coltrane and Eric Dolphy keep pushing the music forward.

A thousand years from now, someone will still be trying to understand what Jimi Hendrix did on ‘Machine Gun’

Recorded in 1959, this is Coltrane taking the harmonic language of jazz and pushing it into completely new territory. The changes are relentless, but somehow he makes them sound effortless.

Every time I hear it, I’m reminded just how fearless he was.

Song: “Sympathy” by LUCA

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

Recorded in 1965 and released posthumously in 1968, this is Coltrane at his most spiritual and experimental.

Inspired by sacred texts and filled with chanting, layered rhythms, and wild improvisation, it feels less like a conventional composition and more like a ritual.

Not an easy listen, but an unforgettable one.
