Seven for Saturday - 7 John Coltrane Videos
July 31, 2010 at 6:00 AM Do you have some time on your hands? Not too sure on what to do with it? Here's an enjoyable way to pass some of that time. I picked 7 videos of John Coltrane's live performances for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy ~
The first 4 videos are from a 1960s show called "Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual".
Coltrane performs here with his classic quartet: Coltrane on Tenor and Soprano Sax; McCoy Tyner on Piano; Jimmy Garrison on Bass; and Elvin Jones on Drums. Songs performed are: Afro Blue (M. Santamaria); Alabama (J. Coltrane); and Impressions (J. Coltrane).
It was originally recorded at KQED Studios in San Francisco, CA on November 1, 1963 and first broadcast February 18, 1964 on the National Educational Television Network. This is the only known North American television appearance of the John Coltrane Quartet.
