"All the musicians you've mentioned I know, they've also created remarkable masterpieces, but that doesn't mean I limit myself to just them (there's not just Peter's wild and primitive sax, or the wild Ayler, etc...) music has so many feelings, fortunately." There you go, I would have replied like this, adding, however, that all those esteemed musicians, while valid, are often one-dimensional, and they are just microbes compared to John in terms of artistic stature. Without Ayler, no Brotzmann? Without Coltrane, no 'all the other millions of tenor saxophones'!

Why would religious faith have been a "misfortune" for Coltrane, when, on the contrary, it was a source of such great inspiration that it gave birth to this immortal masterpiece? As a non-Catholic, I have always rejoiced in the (rare) cases where faith, instead of acting as a sterilizing force, has served as a fertilizing one for the human mind... to do the opposite would mean to mortify the artistic (and aesthetic) result to emit judgments of a moral nature; which is truly a Sin, to put it in ecclesiastical terms.

PVC, may Bosso with strings strike me down, but rating this peak of music a 3 is an unjustifiable act of vandalism... it seems like a claim to want, at all costs, to go against the current or to vomit one’s (bad) musical taste onto others. Cui prodest?

I'm sorry, but for my tastes, the review is a bit too "hysterical," as well as verbose. The love for this album is a "conditio sine qua non," I agree, but perhaps you could have been less emphatic and said something interesting about the genesis of the work, for example, or better contextualize the album. P.S.: I really think the second movement is Resolution and not Pursuance (Persuance?)! Bye

Great Caravan page, a book that piques my curiosity! Speaking of Django, is there anyone else like me who thinks he’s just like Nino Frassica?

Good job, Muff, they’re all beautiful, I already knew most of them except for Roach's (at least I didn't remember it) and Chambers'. After all, besides the photography book by Wolff, I have (like you) dozens and dozens of Blue Note records at home, overflowing with photos that, as we know, are of priceless value. Many Columbia records also contain valuable photos... do you remember that photo in E.S.P. (I think) where Miles is on stage laughing with Wayne after whispering something in his ear? What I would give to know what they said!!

Damn, Elvin Jones is nowhere to be seen... another link for the same photo: Ingrandisci questa immagine We should also rightfully add any of the beautiful photos of Wayne Shorter from the Blue Note period, and the picture of Dexter where he's laughing heartily. Cheers to everyone!

My favorite jazz photos, all by Francis Wolff: a Miles just outside the tunnel Ingrandisci questa immagine the greatest drummer in history www.morrisonhotelgallery.com/images /medium/tonywilliams.jpg; the second (Elvin Jones) www.chipstern.com/chip_sound_ej2_fi les/image023.jpg; one of the most beautiful photos of Coltrane Ingrandisci questa immagine saxophone colossus Ingrandisci questa immagine and perhaps the most beautiful of all, an extraordinary shot of Joe Henderson in action, which became the cover of an equally unique book-collection of Francis Wolff's photos (unfortunately, I can't find the "non-cover" version): www.mosaicrecords.com/images/wolffs oftcover.jpg
