Now listening. Thanks for the link--this will be a good way to get through Friday.

Happy birthday, John C, and thanks for everything...

'Africa Brass' vinyl will be getting a spin this evening in recognition of the Great Man

Just listening to the show. Mentionings of Johnny Splawn and Booker Little. Hey, this is good !

I think this would be more fun if I turned off WKCR and listened to live in Japan until Phil is done.

I bet if you tune back in after the hour long MFT he'd still be mid sentence.

I think so too.

It's a shame you aren't still with us, JC, but thanks for your amazing music.

Man, it's today? I'm listening to Kulu Se Mama right now--I actually bought it yesterday (completely unawares--spun it for the first time at 12:00 AM). Heavy.

We used to have an annual Trane's Birthday party in college. Lots of revelry and a listening marathon. Good times...

Good timing!

I was up late driving, but was spinning cds.

I just noticed this:

John Coltrane - September 23, 1926

Sam Rivers - September 25, 1923

I'm not really surprised that Sam is older as I thought he might be, but it kind of makes me sad to think about what might have been.

Looks like it should be a 3 day celebration this weekend!
