John Coltrane would have turned 88 yesterday. (born Sep. 23, 1926)
To remember him I picked a record that he recorded in 1958 on the Prestige label. "Standard Coltrane" (PR 7243). Exactly 32 years ago on his birthday I heard a radio feature about him and I got me this album on the next day. It’s represented through the tracks 1 and 17. To me "Invitation" really was one. I can't say how many times I've been playing this record. It really gave me the start as a jazz collector, that I am, too.
So I was strollin’ through some tunes yesterday and now bring’em to the public. Much jazz but like always I needed that soul music, too. The mix is a choice without any noise. Thank you 4eva JC, R.I.P
