pharoe saunders used to play with trane
his stuff is slightly less freeform and slightly more cosmic / 60s
karma is the best lp to start, with tauhud pretty good too
there is a good best of lp doing the rounds too, £30 for the original double vinyl but also on cd. john's wife
alice coltrane did some accessible and interesting lps too, most notably jounrey to sactananda, which has been reissued, but for me Trane strides above them al like a collossus (except for the Om lp, which is largely unlistenable
i am very interested in trane as saint, as he was obviously a troubled man, with his heroin problem for one thing, but someone who touched something divine in his music in a way few others have, also interesting for keeping to a largely christian faith, as opposed to many contemporaries who turned to islam or more esoteric religion as was popular at the time
the church rocks btw.
