Check out Mike Keneally, The Mistakes and Tribal Tech, if you haven't already!

And the wonderful album Ballads - Remembering John Coltrane by Karrin Allyson!

I think "prog" stands for artistic rock music, which emerged after psychedelic movement 68,69 or something... Didn't Coltrane pass away around 1965 or something?'

I found a nice CD from local library, which contains a live version of "Love Supreme". It was nice!

"Jazz for Progheads" sounds nice....and I fail to see how Coltrane wasn't "prog".

But only if such a section were created... if any musician at all had been progressive, it was Coltrane, but he definitely wasn't prog.

So far I have heard Giant Steps, A Love Supreme and My Favorite Things. Very good stuff! I love Ornette Coleman's "Free Jazz" as well!

i think my farvorite recording of him is A love supreme, the grove of the 1st part of the suite is just so killer.

My opinion, as always.

Back during the whole Radiohead situatuion, I remember a few people asking about Miles Davis, and whether he could be considered for the archives. Why did nobody mention Coltrane? It's a personal belif of mine, but if Miles hadn't met and played with Coltrane, we wouldn't have had albums like Bitches' Brew, or the Fusion movement as it was then.

I'm not calling for his inclusion in the archives (unless there's a strong call for it, which I'd think that there isn't considering the way some of you act about additions), but I was just wondering why no one talked about him and his influence on Jazz music, and and in a roundabout way, Prog.
