I am pretty sure it was after I got started in jazz radio and journalism. Rob Gibson, later of Lincoln Center, comped our tickets. Two pieces that stand out in my memory were Pine’s version of “Giant Steps,” where he soloed on tenor first, than soprano, along with “Zaire.”

1989 it was!  I remember now.  Soon after the concert I bought one of Pine's CDs.  Perhaps it was his only one at that time.  It was one of the first CDs I bought.  I got my first CD player in November of 1988.

You will recall that Pine was billed as "the new Coltrane."  I remember at the concert his playing one note (maybe a half note) that had precisely Prestige Coltrane's tone.  I thought, Aha!  That's why.
