sidewinder Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Indeed ! What a shame he didn't live to see 80; however he crammed more into 40 years than just about any other musician. Long may his music reverberate ! I'll spin a healthy quota of Coltrane today (starting with 'Mating Call') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robviti Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I'm celebrating the day by attending An African Legacy: The 29th Annual John Coltrane Memorial Concert at Northeastern University in Boston. The JCMC began in 1977 and is said to be the oldest annual performance tribute to Coltrane. This year the JCMC ensemble will be joined by The Art of Black Dance and Music for a portrayal of the Black continuum from Africa through the Caribbean to the USA.

chris olivarez Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 What a force for good. If you're looking for something good in the human condition you don't have to look any further than John Coltrane. I'll forever be chasing the Trane!!!!

clifford_thornton Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 If I don't catch cold, I'll be doing a spirited homage to Coltrane on the radio tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that's over, the birthday broadcast resumes until 12 am. This is a major holiday! And again we celebrate St. Johns birthday. KCR is broadcasting all day, I haven't heard it yet. It seems like their server is easily overwhelmed. I'll catch it later...on the road... Amen John. Thanks for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For more information, visit www.centerforthearts.neu.edu. Went to the 30th Annual John Coltrane Memorial Concert in Boston last night. In addition to the Boston-area musicians, several of whom have been participating in this event since the beginning, the Ravi Coltrane Quartet also played.

Chuck Nessa Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I remember the news of his death as if it was last year. Damn, time does fly. More than happy I had a few "live" experiences - "classic" quartet, quartet + Shepp and the final quintet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeCity Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 ...and instead of having birthday cake, maybe I'll have a bit of this: I had a rehearsal today. When we scheduled it a while back, I mentioned that it would be Trane's b-day, so the singer in the band made sure we had some Sweet Potato Pie in celebration!!! YUM!!!!
