Coltrane - Gilligan's Island

[timwat]

Okay, this is what I mean by the thread title - On a desert island where you can only have one, do you pick:

A Love Supreme

or

Giant Steps?

[CyLowe97]

For sheer zen/mantra to pass the time.... A Love Supreme is like religion.

Return question.... what if my choice was "Kind of Blue" or "B*tches Brew" from Miles?

[sunninho]

A Love Supreme would be playing every morning with the sunrise and the surf. :love:

[sunninho]

*****es Brew from Miles, definitely.

[timwat]

On the return q, I'd go "Kind of Blue".

Love Supreme
Kind of Blue

I just read in Newsweek that long lost tapes of 'Trane and Monk playing at Carnegie Hall in 1957 have been released on CD. Woo-hoo!

[caloso]

What if the choice were Monk's Epistrophy or 'Round Midnight?

[CyLowe97]

Interesting thread! Different eras, different sounds. It's like asking, "which is your favorite child..." or "Revolver or Abbey Road?"

I'm now psyched up because when I get home I'm going to put on the Coltrane records and give them a listen.... it's been a while....

Not fair... Like asking: Do I want spanked or paddled? D

Who says I'd pick Coltrane at all?

The Cowboy Junkies are who I consider my favorite band (I finally claimed this last year after considering "Heart" my favorite band for many, many years). I love probably every song by the Cowboy Junkies, but I'm still not sure if I'd pick one of theirs as the "only song I could listen to".

I'd have to give that much more thought......immediate thoughts:
Albatross by Fleetwood Mac
Jessica by The Allman Brothers Band
