https://jazz.centerstagestore.com/collections/alice-coltrane/products/alice-coltrane-the-carnegie-hall-concert-2cd Ships on March 22, 2024 Alice Coltrane’s The Carnegie Hall Concert is a previously unreleased recording of a historic 1971 concert. The original multi-track recording was commissioned by Impulse but wasn’t released at the time. Featuring an all-star group including Pharaoh Sanders, Archie Shepp, Jimmy Garrison, Cecil McBee, Ed Blackwell and others, this was a triple bill placing her in the company of Laura Nyro and The Rascals. Concert produced by Sid Bernstein, who promoted the first Beatles concert in the US. Tracklist: CD 1 1. Journey in Satchidananda 2. Shiva-Loka CD 2 1. Africa 2. Leo

It was pulled from release because the liner notes did not discuss or identify the second person in the shower.

When I saw the posthumous Gil Evans band a couple of times at Sweet Basil in the early 90s, Chris Hunter was still with them.

I saw Henry Threadgill in the 1990s at Thread Waxing Space in NYC. I recollect Amina Claudine Myers on organ and Brandon Ross on guitar. It was excellent. I'm excited to have another chance.

Thanks.

Yes, that was an interesting set. Pheeroan Aklaff on drums. Henry Threadgill is not on the same plane as Roscoe Mitchell and Wadada Leo Smith? He is for me.

Geri Allen, The Gathering (Verve)

Roy Hargrove, With the Tenors of Our Time

Jakob Bro has been added to the list of performers (both he and Joe Henry are on Sunday). I suppose there is still another month or so wait before the detailed schedules are released.

In June of this past year, I was invited down to Brooklyn to produce a new project for the supernaturally kind and gifted guitarist, Julian Lage. The album that resulted, Speak To Me, is something of which I am profoundly proud; and as young master Lage will be showcasing that new music at this year’s Big Ears Festival, I had already prepared myself to be in attendance—for the sake of my own spiritual health and renewal, if nothing else. But then came the notion of staging an additional show while together in Knoxville, on behalf of exploring a deeper collaborative relationship between us; and to that end, I’m thrilled that I will be joining forces with Julian’s trio to perform a set of my own songs on Sunday, the 24th (The Tennessee Theatre), at the civilized hour of 6pm. Julian Lage may be a new friend to me, but he’s quickly become an indispensable one; a true soul connection. And with my songs in his hands, I can only imagine what his light may illuminate. Joe Henry
