What are some Jazz Musicans that can play as confidently and as accurately as John Coltrane in 'Giant Steps'?

List albums please.

There are some musicians that make it seem easy. Chris Potter and Joe Lovano are the first two that come to mind, as far as tenor sax players go.

Something I Said- The Funk Fusion Of Yohannes Tona, Jazz-Tinged Ballads Of Alicia Wiley

Something I Said
Yohannes Tona, Alicia Wiley
Dwight Hobbes Insight News Sitting in at Sol Testimony's Soul Sounds Open Mic & Jam Session over the summer proved to be profoundly informative for this arts columnist. It introduced me to bad-to-bone bassist Yohannes Tona and reacquainted me with sterling pianist-songsmith-vocalist Alicia Wiley. Sol Testimony's Soul Sounds Open Mic & Jam Session is gone. But, Tona and Wiley have exquisite albums available for your listening pleasure. Yohannes Tona's debut Sand from the desert, is funk fusion sweetened to taste. You've got ten originals, including Tona composing with Mint Condition's Stokley and Twin Cities stage star Aimee K. Bryant, plus John Coltrane's "Naima" and Miles Davis' "So What". Also, there's Stokley, F. Darnell Davis of Darnell Davis and The Remnant, Bryant, spoken wordsmith Sha Cage and noted keyboardist Nachito Herrera. In short, it's a packed house of monster talent. "I feel blessed", says Tona, "that I have a good relationship with all these great artists who collaborated on the album for nothing but love. If all artists were like that, we would hear many more success stories." He had more folk in mind to invite to do the album, but " didn't get to call out because of time. Friends like Wendell Henry, Sol Testimony and Alicia Wiley." At the core of Sand from the desert Yohannes Tona Band. That's Tona, Peter Vircks(sax), Brian Ziemniak (keys) and Brian Kendrick (drums). They did a release event at The Dakota Nov. 1 and it was a solid success. The crowd, including R&B siren Erica West, had a ball. Davis sat in on keys, Bryant sang, John Raymond played trumpet – in general, one of those nights you talk about for weeks. Next up for Tona is some serious woodshedding. "My wish is to develop the kind of discipline that the old classical and jazz musicians had to dig dip into music and come up with some thing new. God help me with that because it is much harder these days where there is too many things pulling you away from that path." Alicia Wiley's third outing, Changes, is a tight set recorded live at The Phipps Theater. With Tona, Peter Vircks, Andres Prado on guitar and Kevin Washington alternating Brandon Commodore on drums. Tona says of doing this album with her, "We are very good friends, so its always fun working with her. I believe she's got what the industry is looking for. I hope she will be heard." From his lips to God's ears. Wiley, at only 25, has fascinating command of her craft. And a wry, wizened air that intrigues. The more music lovers who find out about an artist this strong the better. Her edgy, jazz-tinged chops, Wiley acknowledges, come from a rich and varied source. "I am a music junkie. I am constantly listening and I'm sure that has helped shape my style into what it is today. To me, a great song is a great song. I love all styles." She is, of course, as glad to have had Tona on board for Changes as he was to be there. "I consider myself very lucky to have had Yohannes on my latest CD. He can throw down. He has amazing musical instincts, creativity, chops, and lays down the most soulful ideas you will ever hear. There isn't a thing missing from his playing." Which is why Tona will be on her next album (in whirlwind fashion, with the new release less than a month old, Wiley is working at Pachyderm Studio on the next one). She made Changes a live recording because, "this time around I wanted to capture the energy and spontaneity of a live show. It is almost impossible to match the same energy level in a studio setting." You'll agree she got what she was going for.

Love Supreme

Love Supreme

What are your 2 favorite tracks off 'A Love Supreme (1965)' by John Coltrane?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Love_Supreme

"A Love Supreme" is an album that is not nearly as good as individual tracks. The journey of all 3 tracks, four parts, together is how it should be listened to. I think this type of album has been lost in contemporary music. Not necessarily the concept album, but an album in which each track blends to the next, or in which the order has a greater meaning that, "upbeat, upbeat, ballad, single, upbeat." I think you can't break this album into 2 better tracks one lesser. It's like a tripod, two would barely stand on their own.

In my opinion, think I'd say that last track is the hardest to listen to on its own, but also crucial. Part 3 is an upbeat chase at points, whereas part 4 is a spiritual prayer in finding some sort of peace and understanding. Everything is grand and great. Jones' rolls seem to come from enormous drums echoing in a palace. Trane's horn yelps and calls over this backdrop all while, Tyner plays hard, echoing, rhythmic chords.

So, if you want to just listen to music on a Sunday morning, maybe chose the first two tracks, but they won't resolve without "Pursuance" and "Psalm."

Some other albums that are like this in that they're better when listened to as a whole:
Pet Sounds--The Beach Boys
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band--The Beatles
Innervisions--Stevie Wonder
Kind of Blue--Miles Davis
