[Dixielandjazz] John Coltrane, Giant Steps, & AJB

[Steve Barbone]

I agree completely, listen with your own ears. Everyone is entitled to
his/her own opinion. But if you really believe that, then why warn people
not to click on "Love Supreme". Shouldn't they listen first and then make up
their own mind? Isn't that what freedom is all about?

I enjoy John Coltrane, not a result of brainwashing. Simply the result of
listening to his music.

Same goes for many other forms of music including OKOM.

Cheers,
Steve
