John Coltrane: 'A Love Supreme'
John Coltrane's A Love Supreme is one of jazz's most majestic and expressive albums. Recorded in December 1964 for Impulse, the four-part suite is a manifesto that's part spiritual and part protest against the indignities of racism and segregation. The album was performed live by Coltrane only once—in July 1965, at the Antibes Jazz Festival. Only ...
Video: Shirley Scott, 1996
Sadly, video of organist Shirley Scott is rare. I found this clip yesterday and thought I'd share. It features Scott in San Francisco in November 1996 with saxophonist Scott Petersen and drummer Eddie Marshall. The first song is On Green Dolphin Street and then the video is badly edited, morphing into another tune. Scott, who died ...

Interview: Marcos Valle
I'm a huge fan of Marcos Valle's music. Who isn't? If you love Samba de Verão—known in the U.S. as Summer Samba (So Nice)—then you know what I'm talking about. As soon as I heard Marcos was going to be making a rare New York appearance at Birdland May 27-31 with the legendary Roberto Menescal, I ...
Stockholm Sweetnin': Surreal Sirens
Earlier in the week I was doing some research and stumbled on what has to be the oddest version of Quincy Jones's Stockholm Sweetnin'. It features two singers, Kersti Johanson and Marje Aare—and that's about all I know, except in the video clip they appear to be at the museum at night, almost in a dream ...

Many of the young rock bands of the 1960s and '70s may have looked cool in magazines and on TV, but the music ...
