@123must The music of John Coltrane never ceases to amaze.

I love that Equinox is in your short list. Mine too. I bring it up, because I always thought the melody sounded like it came from a Jewish Religious service, and tonight is the start of the High Holy Days on that calender. Happy New Year to you and your Jazz loving audience.

@speakeasynyc Wonder if Trane ever set foot in a synagogue?

[speakeasynyc]

@JazzVideoGuy Hasn't everyone been to a Bar Mitzvah? In any case, if he did, he must have recovered (sic) and whether or not he physically ever got into a synagogue, he certainly had "spirit". A Love Supreme.

@speakeasynyc Did you know that Willie "The Lion" Smith was also a Cantor?

[123must]

I agree !

@speakeasynyc Happy recent birthday and we share that same Trane track. Of course there are others just a few steps behind: Crescent, Transition, Equinox, for starters. Appreciate your kind words, and your good taste in music, and video. Blessings to you.

I share the same birthday as Sonny, my mother shares her birthday with Trane. Not bad for one family. My desert island Trane track is "Out of this World" something I call "perfect music". I picked that track 30 years ago, and haven't changed my mind. Whatever my mood, emotional, historical or educational, there seems to be a JazzVideoGuy video to help fit the bill. The Gift that keeps on Giving. Over 800 videos? Geez. Much Thanks.

@saxxykev09 So glad. Stay tuned.
