From San Francisco, Lonny Shavelson takes you inside a rehearsal of The Asian American Orchestra. The group is rehearsing for tonight's concert, which will be an international homage to jazz giant John Coltrane. Today would have been Trane's 83rd birthday. You can hear the radio piece at http://www.theworld.org/globalhit

  • So, wait..."Asian American" means everything-but-white now? I gotta say, just because it's directed towards white people doesn't mean it's not racism...

  • I am seeing this again after almost two years and it still thrills me to see all these amazing and generous musical geniuses striving together to create something so fresh and uplifting. This clip was sent to me by Adrianne Nash, wife of the superb percussionist, who has passed away since. I will always see her beautiful and loving spirit hovering over this performance. And thank you father Coltrane, for all you have given us.

  • What a superb concept! A dynamic multi-cultural

    tribute to the unsurpassed John Coltrane.

    It was a joy to see the great Kenneth Nash, drummer/percussionist, as well as the other

    fine artists. I hope the concert was videotaped

    so the rest of us can enjoy this rare treat!
