It’s on several of my playlists.
I’d love to find this live version.
I see “A Love Supreme: Live In Seattle” was released on vinyl today. I’ll be picking up a copy.
My favorite is “Ballads”.
August of 1965, I had the pleasure of seeing him perform at Pep’s Lounge in Philadelphia. I went to the matinee and stayed for both sets.
I was about to finally leave and Coltrane came out from the behind the curtain, playing “Afro Blue”. Told the bartender to give me another Old Hickory and Ginger Ale. You see, I was only 20 at this time, so I found that if I dressed to the nines, I could get into the jazz places without a problem. But I had to get by the bartender. Hence, I ordered “Old Hickory” and was never carded.
Their performance was out standing. Watching Elvin Jones on the drums with a cigarette hanging from his mouth and never missing a cue from McCoy or John. Jimmy Garrison, in a trance on the bass, Coltrane, nothing but business.
Those were the good old days. Damn, who would have thought we would be in this mess now.
Harry Bosch named the dog he rescued, “Coltrane”.
