My opinion/taste: Coltrane is up there with the likes of Beethoven
It's not just crabby old people who say things like that, though I guess many would fall into that group. I know plenty of people a lot younger than me who listen only to "country" and mostly the top 40 country playlist, and anything out of that category is crap to them. My conclusion: most people are very narrow minded.

...fortunately the SW I had at lunch today was one of the rare ones that still have it.
