Coltrane and African Rhythm

[Hot Ptah]

What about 1989's 'Gangsta-Supreme' and 2001's 'In the Transition: A Tribute to Prez, Bean and Hawk with special guests Chaka Khan, Sting and Georgie Fame'?

I have been chuckling about this for days now.

That "In the Transiition' album--didn't Elvis Costello sing a song on that one as well?

Pre-laptop possibilities, I think Trane might have potentially experimented with playing different instruments (other than tenor/sax) more often in the late 1960s and 70s. A bit dusty on my late-period Trane right now, but wasn't he already dipping into that a bit in the 1965-67 era?

He did play some bass clarinet, too, no? (I seem to recall him doing obbligatos under one of Pharoah's improvisations on Live at the Village Vanguard Again!.

Yes and on the Cosmic Music sessions as well.

Time may have been up for Trane, Bird and Bix when they died, but someone I now and then wonder what he would have done is Clifford Brown.
