John Coltrane 1964 (or 1963?)

[king ubu]

For everybody within reach of SWR2: next week, their series with recordings from the archives will bring forth a Coltrane broadcast.

The David Wild site lists a Coltrane concert in Stuttgart on November 4, 1963. Tunes performed that night were: The Promise (7:33), Afro Blue (6:43), I Want To Talk About You (10:55), Impressions (29:10), My Favorite Things (19:19), Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye (6:25), and Mr. P.C. (35:32)

Must've been quite a concert!

I don't have the European Tours box yet, and I don't know if these tracks are included there, but it seems that box is quite a mess as far as annotation goes. Maybe someone can give some insight about this. Anyway, sound quality should be great (it was with tha Mingus stuff broadcasted last year).

Here's the promotion from the SWR2 web:

Noch heute beziehen sich Saxofonisten in aller Welt auf John Coltrane. Dieser wohl nach Charlie Parker genialste Innovator führte den funktionsharmonisch verankerten Jazz über die modale Spielweise in den Freejazz. 1963 kam Coltrane mit seinem aus heutiger Sicht klassischen Quartett nach Europa. Der damals 37-Jährige erwies sich als totaler Improvisator. Er spielte noch Songs wie "My Favorite Things" "Everytime We Say Goodbye", oder "I Want To Talk About You" aber zunehmend auch eigene Stücke wie das ausgedehnte "Impressions", das eine spürbar spirituelle Dimension erhielt. Coltrane eroberte neben seinen unzähligen anderen Verdiensten für das Sopransaxofon einen bedeutenden Platz im modernen Jazz. Der rastlos suchende Künstler starb knapp 4 Jahre später.

The important part: Thursday, March 4, 19:05-20:15

It's not in the box set. Make a nice recording Ubu. We don't get SWR here.

Does SWR2 netcast?

How about setting up a tree to provide those interested with a copy?

Thanks for the info. It's great that one forgets what has already been acquired.

The official Live Trane box contains one track from this Stuttgart, November 4, 1963 concert: Impressions 27:15. Today's broadcast is more than one hour long. I haven't sorted out the titles yet, Afro Blue is the first.
