Joe Lovano's Baker's Dozen Trane tracks


If you had to pick your thirteen favorite Coltrane tracks what would they be?

Jazz.com has an Lovano's picks, as well as a detailed explanation about each one.

My picks would have surely looked quite different than these. Not one track from Ballads or from Crescent made the list ! These albums are the pinnacles of Western civilization in my book. I guess Joe is entitled to his opinions, I'm just disappointed in him.

Wow. I have to say this is a terrible list in my opinion. Whatever, Lovano can keep those and I'll take mine.

Well, David, I have to agree that this is a pretty weird list of tunes for Lovano to have chosen, with the exception of Good Bait, Impressions, and Chasin' the Trane. I think that it probably reflects what Lovano's into right now, as there's a lot of later Trane that, while interesting, certainly wouldn't make it on my top 12. I'm going to write one.
