Along with Kit Downes, Ivo is one of the best in the John Taylor lineage, imv, so if, like last week, you can sit out the earlier stuff...

Interesting to see if Andy's striking out in any new directions. Off the leash, he can still show himself to be one of the best around, when he can do what he can do.

In addition, Late Junction (11pm) on Monday includes ex-Softs vocalist Kevin Ayers (misspelt, (as is so often the case), in RT) first solo recording, and free improv from John Tilbury and Keith Rowe (both ex-AMM); and on Thursday Don Cherry, recorded in Paris. You have to sit through an hour and a half of stuff you might otherwise have never encountered, though perhaps that's their point!

And just a heads up that on Jazz Now we also have an exclusive extended interview with Ravi Coltrane about a newly discovered album by John Coltrane's classic quartet which is released next week.

There are also some new albums of recently discovered music coming out this month including by Ornette Coleman's trio of the 1960s as well as an Eric Dolphy concert with Donald Byrd in the line up. The most interesting "discovery" is a double CD of the Mike Gibbs big band of 1991 that support John Scofield. Got to say that this gig on the Southampton was one of the best gigs I have ever been to.

Wow!

It's from a one day March 1963 Van Gelder studio date. Recorded then misfiled or lost, then Coltrane's own copy was recently found by Naima's family. I think there are five ( or maybe seven) tracks, Inc untitled originals by Trane and one possibly McCoy. The others are Impressions (takes), Nature Boy and Villa. None previously released. The following day they cut the album with Johnny Hartman.

The NYT has some of the background.

Trane time again!

In some ways 1963 was a year of consolidation for 'Trane as he bided himself in readiness for the next stage of his musical journey, so this looks interesting.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

I think that's the theme of this date. There's a slow blues and there's also some stretching. It's one of my favorite periods. Well, they are all that! If I've got it right there's also an additional companion disc with outtakes. So it comes in two forms. There's was/is an original track available to preview...but "not for me"! (On my smartphone!)

I loved Coltrane's playing around 1963 and 'Live at Birdland' was one of the first jazz records I bought.
Will look forward to hearing the newly discovered album - another one to add to my list!

Unless I am sadly mistaken, this is the first track from John Coltrane’s never before released album “Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7X2X7LDFok

There may be more out there!

Thanks Vespare - the visuals are fun; not sure if they add anything!

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Well, that's me sold! Almost like a further track from the Atlantic "Plays the Blues". Zis I vill buyz!

I do have a extremely rare tape of Coltrane shaving in the bathroom just before breakfast, Wayne calls around on his bike and Alice shouts out to know if they both want Cornflakes or Weetabix, and when is John going to "finally" fix the toaster. To collectors it's worth a fortune...

"In December 2004, as Guernsey’s head Arlan Ettinger related it to me, Naima Coltrane’s daughter Saida* (also known as Antonia Andrews) and Saida’s brother Jamail Dennis were delivering paper items to the auction house: musical manuscripts in John Coltrane’s own hand; a letter from Bill Evans to John Coltrane just after Evans quit Miles Davis’s sextet; a postcard from Wayne Shorter, in Marseilles, to Mr. and Mrs. J. Coltrane (“Europe is a drag. I mean really. Just another gig and a place to practise and/or rehearse.”); Shorter’s hand-drawn portrait of Davis; and so forth. At this point, Jamail said to Arlan, “Oh, we have some tapes. Would you be interested in them?” “TAPES?!,” replied Arlan." - Barry Kernfield.

The TAPES.
