Beautiful !
Also his playing reminds me of Coltrane in this track

Yes, he was a student of Coltrane and clearly misses his master........said it before but I always find his playing very passionate and spiritual.........check this one......man, what a beauty

Thanks for recommending that Gareth, I see he has a whole album of ballads (Welcome to Love), many of which were also played by Coltrane, just the sort of thing I like to listen to (and play).

No worries Bernie, glad you enjoyed it, just passing that music flame on brother, as a kind person did to me....isn't music such a wonderful entity?

This may not be to everyone's taste (please not another row about Coltrane, it's Sunday, take a break, read the papers, stroll around a gorgeous lake)........but most of all just listen man.......and hopefully enjoy

John Coltrane - Love
