What I've Been Listening to Lately

John Coltrane -
The Complete Prestige Recordings


Sixteen CDs (16!) of great music recorded between 1956 and 1959. Everything from Tenor Madness, his only recorded meeting with Sonny Rollins ("Did you hear what happened to Sonny? He got run over by a Trane!") to the Coltrane-Red Garland-Paul Chambers-Art Taylor quartet.

Heaven . . .
