↳ Song: "Cosmos" by "John Coltrane"
Had my first break though Coltrane listening experience with this recording. Had seen Zappa and Beefheart and Buffalo Springfield list Coltrane as important music. Had listened to one of the Atlantic releases that I borrowed from the library, couldn't connect to it. Then a friend of mine got this when it first came out. We sat down to give it a serious listen and we travelled the cosmos. We received it as exploration of the inner cosmos. Men exploring and releasing what they had inside them.

Coltrane was my gateway to jazz (all that preceded him). Before that, i was just into free/spiritual jazz.. it was about the time everything else opened up to me...

No further comment from doctorjazz since he said he was boarding. He flight out had a stop in Europe, I am guessing his return as well, so maybe he will check in during his plan change in a couple of hours.

Listener Gregory:

David, your decision to shorten the two-bass solo is welcome on this end. I am always puzzled by these doublings of the rhythm section instruments. The weirdest of all was Coltrane's adding another drummer to Elvin Jones, who played enough drums to pass for two or three drummers by himself. IMHO.
Avatar 8:36pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I can't remember ever not liking Jazz yet.
But there was an important Introduction to Recordings & Artists probly around High School age - or a little earlier ?? There was the big Smithsonian History of Jazz - seven LPs or something in a box. Field hollers to Ornette & Cecil. Rather excellent really.
...But then getting Coltrane LPs - Atlantic & Impulse - outta the Public Library
...& the Sky Opening up, really. There were others like Miles too. Not a whole lot.
...A distinct & palpable sense of Discovery : here was Something with a lot of the dynamics I adored in Rawk - & yet, clearly another Continent of its own too. Wow ! ...I never felt Jazz was inaccessible ...maybe, in my ignorance, I should have felt so more ! :D ...

This is the 2nd track you've played off the new issue of Village Gate recording. To my ears sound noticeably different to the previously released VV recording. Drums more present, saxophone sometimes distant. I guess these are what are generally referred to as "audience recording".

Some reckoning of reading Trane saying that - notably, after LSD - the expanded Rhythm Section was intended to enable a sense of Timelessness...

Thx. I think it mostly doesn't work so well here because there's only one mic and it can barely pick up the bass sound. I like the double bass, drums, etc. idea generally.

@WR, note that this is the Village GATE, not the Vanguard. Both still exist, but they are not the same club. The Gate no longer plays such music, generally.

The Vanguard is about 1000 times more famous (deservedly), so it's an easy error.

Dolphy's solo sounds like he wrote the tune and spent the past year working on that solo. At that point, I would have stopped the concert and sent everyone home.

and, yes, yours truly had this to say in oct, 26, 2007 (doug's was one of three playlists beta tested to have comments live): "coltrane's techniques and abstractions became fractals within themselves until they bifurcated and transcended all time space w/ pure love and joy"
