Good show last night. I will be getting the Translinear Light CD now after hearing some of it live. Alice sounds like she just floats across the keyboard. She seems like a very nice, gracious lady; when she got a standing ovation as she walked out on stage she seemed surprised and shocked. Nice too when she smiled at her son when he played the opening notes to Impressions.
As far as the sound, I could barely hear Haden, and Ravi was hard to hear at times too (I was on the main floor, row H in the middle). Roy Haynes is amazing! He makes me feel old! He was the star of the show, even more so with his velvet pants!
I didn't know Coltrane had a daughter, too. Does she play any instrument? (She presented the scholarships to the two U of M students).
I have two questions (probably obvious to everybody else, but not me): does Ravi have any of his father's stage mannerisms (i.e., did John move around on stage a lot, bending and twisting, etc, like Ravi?)? And was that John's tenor? Anyone know?
