Not sure if this is new to just me, but a company called "Jazz Icons" has among others, John Coltrane and his live recordings from the '60's. You can check out this link for a video preview as well. http://jazzicons.com/ji2_coltrane.htmlI was very excited to see songs like "Impressions" and "Naima" on this DVD with band mates like Stan Getz, Elvin Jones and Eric Dolphy(on a great rendition of "...

Hail, hail, the gang's all here! Trane, Jimmy Garrison, McCoy Tyner, and Elvin Jones in a pretty smoking set that has seen all manner of release over the years: bootlegs, various packagings and set lists across multiple labels, etc. I like this version for the track I am including below...which throughout the 70s stayed in Elvin's set lists as well. So blistering...Enjoy. John Coltrane - Chim ...

[John Coltrane - Olé / 18:14]If per chance you were to meet a stranger on a moonless night would you think much of his telling you: The moon does not shine, it merely reflects? Now picture yourself reading the following review by the same stranger: "Foals’ sonics dominate the senses. But they alone don’t make an open-and-shut case for Antidotes." While you would have looked askance at the for

Predictably enough, following the two previous posts, it's time for some John Coltrane; as Big Youth sang (apparently nicking the line from The Last Poets) "John Coltrane died in vain of a Love Supreme".This is, however, not from "A Love Supreme" but is a later piece, which I hope you like.

_"I've always felt that even though a man was not a Christian, he still has to know the truth some way or another. Or if he was a Christian, he could know the truth." he said. "The truth itself doesn't have any name on it to me. And each man has to find this for himself, I think."_

so it's time to dust down John Coltrane's "Blue Train" (all ten minutes of it). Relax and enjoy it.By the way today is Robbie Coltrane's birthday (although he was in fact born McMillan)
