Coltrane Live at Birdland (Impulse)! Man, if you haven't heard this buy it immediately. The opening track, Afro Blue, will kill you! Listen to 24 year old McCoy Tyner's contribution and what Garrison and Jones are doing under him. This album is a blast and in the top 2% of the decade. I shit you not. And, it's a very LIVE recording!. It's a must have lest you be a surfer or something. Did I say turn it UP? I meant turn it UP! Seriously, a phenom jazz in the club album. And I do mean that.

This man is a gentleman and a scholar. The very definition of the words.

Thank you, Chris, for the visit on Divisadero in San Francisco. Ike and Tina were after my time, I suppose. I did see Miles' Bitches Brew band there, well, about 8 of them. A great sax player and composer from the City was with him and who appears on the album and is a very nice cat, reed player and flautist Bennie Maupin*. Saw Handy a bunch of times and what a band he had, Sun Ra, Rafael Donald Garrett, then it gets kinda blurry. I had lifetime free admission cause I donated around 15 albums to the owner not long after they opened. They didn't have a liquor licence. You drank something there it would usually be cider. High times, anyway. I gotta a lotta love for that joint.

Thank you, sir, for your replies above. jim

*Slow Traffic to the Right on Mercury is a fine piece of work from him. And a little point of interest . . on the cover he is pictured on his bicycle in the middle of Divisadero St.
