Studying? What's That About

Rather than study for my Consumer Behavior exam tomorrow I'm going to post about quite possibly the most influential and charismatic musicians in history

I'm sure you're thinking – "Whoa, shit's deep"

You may also be thinking of musicians in your head right now that you think I would say such as:
  • Little Richard
  • Elvis Presley
  • The Beatles
  • Jimi Hendrix
Although all of these answers are honorable mentions, none of them are whom I have in mind

So who could it be – who could possibly be better than them or at least in the same league?!?!?

Answer's simple folks, John "Mother F*ckin" Coltrane

John Coltrane is a freak on the Saxophone and an integral part of the evolution of jazz and music in general! John "MF" Coltrane introduced the world to one of the best jazz songs ever performed – Giant Steps

Coltrane actually makes jazz tolerable and dare I say it, bad ass

So here's to you John "Mother F*ckin" Coltrane -- you're the Bret "The Hitman" Hart of Jazz

If you dug "Giant Steps" or if you want to simply get more Coltrane, I would definitely recommend My Favorite Things

Jazz and the Blues, add some Vocal, and that's all you need.
