Fascinating, well-written piece. Thanks for sharing! I plan to revisit it more closely when I free up (probably while listening to A Love Supreme -- arguably the greatest jazz album of all time).

You meant to say "Kind of Blue", I'm sure.

Else: Deringers at noon. Bring your second.

The Davis / Coltrane collaboration Kind Of Blue significantly influenced Coltrane's later works like the OP's Giant Steps and parent's A Love Supreme.

Of which you're undoubtedly aware; I'm just explaining the inside joke in your second line to others.

P.S. Kind of Blue is also my favorite.

I did qualify it with "arguably". Kind of Blue is, IMHO, the other viable candidate.

My favorite music podcast, You’ll Hear It, uses “is it better than KOB” as one of their album review metrics!

I think you wrote "On The Corner" a bit weird there.

Excellent point, and with the same number of letters as in “Bitch’s Brew”, give or take some punctuation.
