Anniversary of John Coltrane's birth with Naima



Today, it's an important day because of two things: usually it's the day of the autumnal equinox (but now in 2009 it's the 22th), and it's 83 years ago the same day when the jazz-giant saxophonist, John Coltrane was born. He was stepping ahead on one way, but he got very far on it. I often wonder what would be if he didn't die at age 40 - did he get more far? And can somebody get more far?

Let's remember him with a beautiful ballad written for his wife, Naima, by the classic Coltrane quartet.
