This is off to a good start.

Just listened. I wasn't sure what to expect as I'm more familiar with albums like Blue Train and A Love Supreme, but I liked this a lot. This was released posthumously so I don't know if he had intended this to be released but it's certainly worthy. I gave it a nine.

Okay, A Love Supreme, so sue me, okay? :D

I doubled down on the derp and forgot to make the votes public.
Sunny Shippy Ships is everything I love about jazz. Every single moment on this album is dripping in raw emotion, freedom, beauty, energy, virtuosity, thoughtful communication, and atmosphere. Every player on this album is a goddamn beast prying open the doors of their instruments, finding hallways that were mostly unexplored at the time. This record takes me places. It's so pure that listening to it is like drinking a glass of water. It's so amazing that it's like drinking a glass of water when you're on the brink of giving in to dehydration. 100/10 |

Relatively enjoyable, but it doesn't seem like anything special to me. I liked it enough to give it an 8/10 and I even added one of the songs to my casual playlist on Spotify. But I'm not the biggest jazz fan anyway so it doesn't strike me as something I'll be really enjoying for years to come. It's good and that's about it.

First time hearing the album. I could tell within the first five seconds this album going to be good. I also could tell Elvin Jones was on drums too.
What piqued my curiosity about John Coltrane was Jimmy McGuinn citing him as a influence. It took a few years. One of my favorite song by him was Mr PC which I found on a compilation that was Jazz: A Film by Ken Burns. I wasn't till I got a better computer a few years ago to watch him play live on YouTube. I was mesmerized by seeing John Coltrane play Favorite Things live. I would come home and watch the video only to find that would be taken down by YouTube for whatever reason. Then after some time pass I look to see if it was posted again by someone else. I completely loosing track how many times I've seen in total. So while I never see John Coltrane play live on stage it was sufficient for me to see him play even if it is a video upload of a video tapping of a broadcast of a live performance. Sometimes I wonder if the connection between the performer and the audience gets lost when we only hear a recording of music not see a person perform. I am not saying the music is less effective, but is lacking something quintessential like the person-to-person experience of the musician to the listener? I don't hear a bunch of notes being played, I hear John Coltrane playing. |
