ghost of miles Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000000YGA.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg This week on Night Lights it’s “Red Trane”, in celebration of tenor saxophonist John Coltrane’s 80th birthday. Coltrane and pianist Red Garland, who had both worked in Eddie Cleanhead Vinson's late-1940s sextet, began playing together again in 1955 as part of Miles Davis’ quintet. Davis sought Garland out for his relaxed, block-chord style and his ability to impart an Ahmad Jamal-like sound; Coltrane, nearly 30 years old, was at a troubled juncture in his personal and professional life, still dogged by a drug addiction that would force Davis to eventually fire him. In 1957 Coltrane turned his life around, kicking drugs and joining the Thelonious Monk quartet. He also began to record prolifically as a leader for Prestige, the same label for which Red Garland recorded. The two men made many records together throughout 1957 and 1958, resulting in a popular and accessible collaborative jazz legacy that’s just one of several achievements from this early and significant turning point in John Coltrane’s career. We’ll hear recordings from the albums Soultrane, Traneing In, High Pressure, and All Mornin’ Long. http://mclub.te.net.ua/images/alb/cover690_15599.jpg “Red Trane” airs Saturday, September 23 at 11:05 p.m. EST on WFIU, 9 p.m. Central Time on WNIN, and at 10 p.m. Sunday evening (EST) on Michigan's Blue Lake Public Radio.
