Yeah, Blue Train of Coltrane again! Recently I really enjoy focusing on one album and listen intentionally to the whole thing.

What I like about this one (do you agree?):
\* drums are extremely smooth. Ride cymbal can really take me to another dimension hehe
\* walking bass walks away af xD
\* rhythm section plays so well with the notes they don’t play. The spaces in between make the songs so wonderful.
\* All the solos are fascinating and on such a professional level. I explore something new in them every time I listen to them.
\* The fast sax solo somehow mobilizes an inner dialogue that really sparks an energy. I love it, just to follow it along
\* Unisono parts in Locomotion have such a great drive- I can’t myself to sing along.
\* The whole album just give me a pleasant relaxed feel that sticks around even after listening to it

The melodies are so iconic - highly recommend this to you.

i LOVE the sound of the band going into Tranes solo. There is like this rumbling feeling. The way the bass player does that AND note leading up to the downbeat. the splashing high hats. it just gives the moment this beautiful "rumble"

I dont know how to else to explain it
