I'm sure I have already done this somewhere else.. hmm.. ok here it goes anyway:

1. My Favorite Things
2. A Love Supreme
3. Giant Steps
4. Coltrane ('62)
5. Coltrane's Sound

The last 2 can vary, it can also be Africa/Brass, Ole Coltrane, Traneing In, among other great ones.

I had had the experience of talking a little with sax player active in Japan before. It will : later about live.

He said to me that he loved Coltrane and had all albums.
And, he declared, the most overwhelming album in the album group of Coltrane was "Expression".

I am groping for the meaning of the album and thought that reaches it at last.

in no real order....

1. Giant Steps
2. A Love Supreme
3. Blue Train
4. My Favorite Things
5. Soultrane

I'm not an expert on his post-'65 albums

I do have One Down One Up: Live at The Half Note, which is some fantastic live work by the Trane
