The European classicists keep repeating the same body of work so there’s no such thing as old music; it’s either good or bad. I’ll quote a wonderful pianist who’s passed away recently, Frank Richmond: “Finished but not never.” Ahmad Jamal

Les classiques européens continuent à jouer le même corpus, la vieille musique n’existe pas. C’est bon ou pas bon. Je citerai un pianiste superbe qui n’est plus, Frank Richmond: “Fini mais pas pour toujours” Ahmad Jamal

John Coltrane: Say it (Over And Over Again) [Ballads]

[gottahavesoul]

"My music is the spiritual expression of what I am —my faith, my knowledge, my being…When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang ups…I want to speak to their souls."

—John Coltrane

On this day, July 17th in 1967, John Coltrane died at the of 40 from liver cancer at a hospital on Long Island. His death took many in the musical community by surprise as Coltrane kept his health condition private. Miles Davis said that “Coltrane’s death shocked everyone, took everyone by surprise. I knew he hadn’t looked too good. But I didn’t know he was that sick or even sick at all.” Coltrane’s funeral service was opened by the Albert Ayler Quartet and closed by the Ornette Coleman Quartet.
