Proper amazing pianist, his playing is probably my favourite thing about A Love Supreme and a bunch of other Coltrane albums, unique and unlike anyone else. His solo stuff was great too.

Aw, bollocks. He was the Real McCoy.

Fuck, RIP. Saw him live once at the Jazz Cafe and he was amazing, one of the best gigs I've ever seen.

Fuck! I'll bet.

He was truly one of the greats. Like many, i first discovered him through A Love Supreme, which is rightfully heralded as a classic yadayada, but i don't think you can go wrong with any of the 60's-70's period with a special mention for Sahara, Trident, Focal Point and Supertrios. Some of that stuff fucking Soars.

Bookmarked Sun Ship to listen to later as i don't think i've had the pleasure.
