John Coltrane's Unearthed 'A Love Supreme: Live In Seattle' Is A Revelation. Without This Little-Known Figure, It Wouldn't Exist.

[Mark Stryker]

Finally, the Seattle 'Love Supreme' story I've been waiting to see. Grammy.com's Morgan Enos looks at the two saxophonists (beyond Trane) responsible for first taping and then excavating the tape -- Joe Brazil and Steve Griggs. (Full disclosure: I'm quoted quite a bit here.)

As well you should be!  Read this after seeing your link on Facebook (er, "Meta" ) this morning... great article.

He's a young kid -- late 20s I think -- with a background as a musician and as a writer. He's got a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and eclectic tastes -- and he has an ear and instinct for getting down, as Cannonball would have said, to the nitty gritty of a subject. He also listens and knows what he doesn't know, so he does what a reporter is supposed to do -- seek out those who do know. He's a sponge. 

One to watch ...

More of this, then, please!

And hoping that it stays that way, no matter how much older he gets.
