Coltrane’s legacy is more sacrosanct to Americans. Finding lost studio material is like a librarian uncovering a book of speech note of MLK. To be blunt, staying it ‘for completists’ isn’t very helpful. It’s also for scholars, students and general public. Getting anything unheard from one of my countries great masters is a special gift. This is the artist who responded to The Alabama bombing they killed innocent girls. He was a spiritual part of the civil rights movement and through the actions of making music demonstrated Dr. Kings call for peaceful awareness and resistance.
He had a job to make film score and he sandwiches it between two major jazz albums of all time because musicians need to make money. But rather than see through the lens of more of same, I’d see it as a summer summation of how he made the new material for Love Supreme after the inner journeys and nuanced travel of the lines in Crescent.
I digress, but for Americans this is our cultural patrimony and I’d be very happy to find anything this guy played.
