John Coltrane would have turned 88 yesterday. (born Sep. 23, 1926)
To remember him I picked a record that he recorded in 1958 on the Prestige label. "Standard Coltrane" (PR 7243). Exactly 32 years ago on his birthday I heard a radio feature about him and I got me this album on the next day. It’s represented through the tracks 1 and 17. To me "Invitation" really was one. I can't say how many times I've been playing this record. It really gave me the start as a jazz collector, that I am, too.
So I was strollin’ through some tunes yesterday and now bring’em to the public. Much jazz but like always I needed that soul music, too. The mix is a choice without any noise. Thank you 4eva JC, R.I.P
Maybe someone buys a record tomorrow.

WoW, Aretha's rendition of "Misty" was stunning. I had to stop and look at the tracklist...Can't wait to listen to more of this randomly picked compilation. Love listening to jazz on a Sunday morning, (a touch of soul for extra flavor)...this is a stellar lineup! You never cease to amaze me SP.
Thank you so much. You are reading my mind. I'm about to play a LIVE program in approx. 20 minutes. It's all about Soul & Jazz:
