John Coltrane Reference now in paperback

[Chris DeVito]

The John Coltrane Reference is now in paperback, for about a third the cost of the hardcover. You can order it from the usual behemoth:

I've had my eye on this release for a while now but will be getting the non casebound version (glad I waited) as soon as it's released

I'm ordering from the Book Depository (rel March 22) - they have it for Aus$51.34 with free shipping

[John Litweiler]

Congratulations, Chris.

There will also be an electronic version, though I'm not sure about the format, the exact release date, or the price. The publisher says their e-books usually come out a couple of months after the paperback.

What are your thoughts on the Pablo box: whose dates are correct?

[Chris DeVito]

Assuming you mean the Live Trane box set, co-author Dave Wild summarized it here:

http://www.wildmusic-jazz.com/livetrane.htm

I'm one of the people who originally wrote to Pablo, back in the day, since I had a complete copy of the Birdland tape that they misattribute to Hamburg. I asked them what Symphony Sid and Pee Wee Marquette were doing in Hamburg pretending to do a Birdland broadcast from a German city. Even offered to send them a copy of the tape. They never replied.

I printed out Wild's chart way back when and keep it folded up inside the Live Trane booklet.
