erhodes Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yes. And the Trane set is the one with Shepp. Tape exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ep1str0phy Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I've said this before, but the '65 Coltrane set is one of my favorite live Trane recordings of any vintage. You can only ever find it in middling or terrible fidelity, but it sounds like absolute pandemonium on stage and off. Shepp guests and the band sounds quite a bit more dialed in to his energy here than they were on the ALS studio stuff the year prior. Of course the recording is merely a ghost of the real thing--I'm sure an actual attendee might have a very different perspective on the whole thing. I'm also very curious what the CT set was like. The Newport Jazz Fest set from July of the same year is up (on "official channels") online and it is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was jumping up and down during the set and it was good enough for me to suggest Delmark record him. I was still in school and not working for them. Koester sent me to Don DeMichael at Down Beat to see if Cecil was still in town. Unfortunately he had returned to NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea Murray was playing with Cecil this late--the Newport set has Andrew Cyrille already. My deeply partial (recording-centric) opinion has it that Andrew's bag kind of fit CT's music better around this vintage, but I'm sure that this quartet was fantastic. That's really too bad that the recording didn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
