I can dig that; especially the post -'64 stuff, much of which is just too dense for me also. I posted this before here, but check this out. A massively-swingin' Trio intro and nothing too complicated except the freight Trane rush as he comes barreling in on Soprano @ 3:09:

I never thought I'd say this, but Wide Spread Panic Live at the Fillmore in Charlotte. I thought I'd be over jam bands by now.
At least it's a show where the people still own the venue and smoke at will...

Back in the day, word was that Coltrane couldn't play ballads. Judge for yourself and enjoy the images of one of my favorite cities on Earth:

The Jolly Boys
A very unlikely trio. As a whole, the album didn't really work, in my opinion, but the title track speaks for itself in the jazz world of the '50s/'60s (actually most of music ever, right?). Duke is surprisingly modern in this '62 recording.
thought that record worked just fine. as did the one Ellington did the same year with some dude...
and Monk borrowed a lot from Duke. So did Bud Powell.

I think the Trane/Duke record worked much better than the Duke/Mingus/Roach record as a whole. But I'm only some shmuck. Either way, I was searching youtube for a response and I literally did stumble upon this. I've never heard of any of the musicians:

That album is special, for sure, but Money Jungle was written (for the most part) by Ellington for that recording date; he knew Mingus was breathing down his waistcoat. Duke probably thought Fuck these flatted fifth motherfuckers, I'll show them modern!
But really he didn't have to, Monk and Powell and so many others were already reading over Duke's shoulder and slightly changing his shit up, they always knew he was ahead of his time.
Duke Ellington will always sounds like the future to me.

I could only like that post once, for the record. I had no idea that Duke largely composed those tracks for the session. Perhaps I should have known, but I have ~1,000 jazz LPs/CDs and I can't keep up with them now like I could back in the mid-90s.
Anyway, back to 'Trane ballads. This one kills it both from 'Trane and vocally from Mr. Scotch 'n' Syrup himself:

I'd rather hear Bob Hope sing a standard than try to tell a joke.
Dude needs another cheeseburger. And a hacksaw.
Apparently your definition of style of my definition of woeful ignorance.
