What's Spinning

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

#50: John Coltrane - Olé Coltrane

Like I mentioned in my write-up for the October ROTM, countless artists across different genres have borrowed the distinctive sounds of flamenco and blended it in with their music. This is one of my favorite recordings of that kind, and it's a great forecast of the kind of ethereal and other-worldly jazz Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders would go on to make years later.

#51: John Coltrane - Coltrane plays the Blues

Coltrane week continues with one of my favorite records of his, although I feel like saying that with every album. The trio tracks without Mccoy Tyner are very interesting, and, as always, hearing Trane balance complexity with straightforward blues melodies and aggressive lines with mellow moments is a treat.
