Every few years there is a new group of teenagers who should be (or need to be) introduced to Coltrane.

Impulse! Records and partner labels will celebrate Coltrane’s catalog throughout 2026 with...and “The Essential John Coltrane,” a Target-exclusive limited-edition 2LP, available now. Probably no tariffs at Target? https://variety.com/2026/music/news/john-coltrane-estate-100-celebration-1236667036/

Record label Impulse!’s ‘Coltrane 100’ celebrations will also take in reissues of classic records such as Ascension, Africa/Brass and Impressions; a best-of compilation highlighting his work from 1957 and 1958; and a sound installation put together by hi-fi specialist Devon Turnbull at New York’s Cooper Hewitt. The John and Alice Coltrane Home in Dix Hills, New York, and the John Coltrane House in Philadelphia will also open to the public for the first time this year. To mark the announcement of the ‘Coltrane 100’ activities, the label has also shared a new video for the late artist’s ‘Acknowledgement’, from A Love Supreme. Directed by Kamasi Washington and AG Rojas, the visual features a recreation of of New Jersey’s Van Gelder Studios on the day that A Love Supreme was recorded there. https://thequietus.com/news/john-coltrane-live-album-tiberi-tapes-set-for-first-release/

According to the BBC, "the portrait of an artist who feels less than others, not more " https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20260215-everybody-digs-bill-evans-review-a-moving-tragic-biopic-of-a-tortured-jazz-great

Good question. I have not seen an LP with only Charlie Palomares and his orchestra - might need to consult an expert on the music that was released during 1960s-1970s in Peru.

Tarantula!

I would add: some of us are hardly lacking for MULTIPLE COPIES of the same Coltrane material

The 86 CD box set would exceed the 83 CD (bootleg) collection of the Beatles Complete Get Back Sessions.

For those who have not seen the documentary, Miles Davis soundtrack

Other people have quickly written songs for Minneapolis. Here is Billy Bragg's: https://www.undertheradarmag.com/news/billy_bragg_shares_new_protest_song_for_minneapolis_city_of_heroes

RIP, I still remember when I first heard Oregon's album Distant Hills.
