My Favorite Things Coltrane

I never listened to a lot of Coltrane, but he’s actually pretty good. What I liked about his solo is that he uses pretty simple ideas. His playing is not as cerebral as Miles, but he still shows some restraint in his technical displays. Listening to the solo, I got a strange feeling that the phrases were too short. For some reason, everything felt very repetitive and there was no real climax or resolution. I don’t know…is it just me? I didn’t hear a narrative in the song, and that’s the best part for me.
