It’s a big day for J.C.
In the spirit of Christmas, I’d like to celebrate J.C. with some…J.C.
I’m speaking, of course, about John Coltrane.
And I’ll try to resist the urge to make any potentially upsetting observations about the relative merits of music vs. religion, or the ways in which Coltrane’s message can never be corrupted. Instead, I’ll just offer thanks and praises (and anyone who knows me knows I’m not being sardonic). I also will point out that some people take this very seriously indeed.
“My Favorite Things” (with Eric Dolphy):
“Central Park West”:
