Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

John Coltrane Quartet - "Live" at the Village Vanguard: X stars
This is an acknowledged near-classic. I say near, because virtually no one that I can find thinks it's 5 stars, which is what would cause me to pick it up. People tend to praise it for its difficult and "new" second side "Chasin' the Trane." But they don't sound like they really enjoy that track when they praise it, more just marvel at it. Anyway, I'll stick with his studio albums. [5 listens] [ps, Caved and bought it on 5th listen. Let's see if I do the same with Rollins'.]
