Customer Reviews
Now I can die in peace!!
I finally have heard John Coltrane's VOICE! Wherever you are Mr. Coltrane, there are millions of people now who cherish and love your music. And your voice is exactly what I expected...soft, intelligent and full of life; bold as LOVE!!
Great Podcast
About time a great jazz podcast came out. This podcast is great because 1) It comes out very frequestly (unlike other podcasts I subscribe to where I get two episodes from two years ago) and 2) It doesn't dwell on playing tracks alone, it gives us commentaries. To the people that want to listen to more of his music alone (AKA the guy that gave this 1 star), buy a CD from trane and listen to it.
The beginning of something beautiful
This is the best podcast ever! I love John Coltrane's music. The music in the podcast is a gift and sounds wonderful. Great production value. I only hope that this is the beginning of something beautiful, i.e. a lot more episodes and more 'profiles in jazz' -type documentaries of this high quality.
