Something about John Coltrane that puts my mind at ease. As I listen to this record, the first thing that pops in my head is, "Man, I wish I had someone to dance with." Yes, I do like to slow dance in my house while I listen to records. A few times I would make Kevin dance with me because I just felt like having a human body swaying side to side with mine. Otherwise, I would pick up one of the dogs and just put them in my arms as my legs move to the rhythm and sound of John Coltrane. I think the best thing I like about listening to John Coltrane and his band play is not only the trumpets and sax (I'm a huge horn sound person), but the drums. The way it is not too overpowering yet subtle to go with the flow of the piano and other instruments. It's enjoyable so that it's basically made to mellow you out or even give you a bit of energy. I think that aspect has a lot to do with the bass. I enjoy a great Coltrane album from time to time, but I definitely need to find/play more.
Enjoy!
