Probably as talented as the classical masters. Oscar Peterson too!!

I got a new turntable last week and yesterday I was listening to: McCoy Tyner's "Dimensions"(McCoy Tyner, piano; Gary Bartz, sax; John Blake, violin; John Lee, bass; and Wilby Fletcher drums) and "Coltrane live at Birdland" (John Coltrane, tenor and soprano saxes; McCoy Tyner, piano; Jimmy Garrison, bass; and Elvin Jones, drums).

"Coltrane live at Birdland" Is a fabulous album. Elvin Jones played with Maynard Ferguson. Saw him at Birdland. Do you have Blue Train? One of my favorites!
Enjoy your new turntable. 😀

I don't have the 1957 release of Blue Train, I have a 2003 remastered album. I agree this is one of my favorite Coltrane recordings.

My 25-year-old son heard "Coltrane Live at Birdland" and said, "That's dope!" Of course, that's slang for "beyond good."
