I'm so sorry I'm going to miss the documentary. My boss boss is here today and will be in meetings all day. Get them to put it out!!! Hope you feel better. | |

Those Hawaiian tracks have me sitting here trying to remember the name of that mid-80s air staffer who had lived in Hawaii for a time and specialized in trad Hawaiian music. She had long dark hair and glasses, and was on Saturday afternoons -- occupying, I think, the slot on which Rex currently is seated. Anyone? | |

Tuning in for the first time from Dublin, Ireland. Loving the show in work... will listen in again for sure. Warm regards. D. | |

Doug, what kind of cap did they market to Mexican kids as a "Pancho Lopez hat"? Hey Dedalus, say hi to all at Road Records for me. | |
Fri. 10/26/07 9:53am
Doug:
Hey Hey Dedalus! Glad you're here. Grab an oar and start rowing. Cheers, Doug | |

Doug:
Parq, making it even stranger, those "Pancho Lopez" dudes were Brazilian. | |

Doug, your show is fantastic. I'm a recent convert drawn in by the Trane doc, but I love the breadth of your playlists. Thanks from Chicago! | |

Josh:
Hi Doug, thanks for all the great music over the years. Do you know of a site that has more information on the Coltrane documentary? | |
Fri. 10/26/07 11:09am
Doug:
Josh, the pleasure's mine! Your best bet for more info on the documentary is www.artistowned.com which is the site run by the doc's producer, Steve Rowland. | |

Rob:
Hey, I happen to have an office hour during this Coltrane documentary and I have loved it these past weeks. I recently read the book "The House that Trane Built" on the Impulse Records story so this is a great companion to that. Thanks, Rob Abita Springs, LA | |

Just getting deep into jazz recently, so this documentary is absolutely perfect. Absolutely brilliant, thanks doug. Picked up Love Supreme on vinyl a couple weeks ago, along with a couple Sun Ra records, but otherwise just barely dipped my toes into the jazz pool with some downloaded albums. | |

Wes:
A Love Supreme is the Coltrane album I first bought, as well. Captain Beefheart turned me on to his work. This documentary is excellent, I've really enjoyed it as I've caught pieces here and there. Please publish the entire thing, producer man! | |

With my newborn daughter in my arms, I danced in the hospital to A Love Supreme. OK, gotta go. I'm starting to tear up again... | |

coltrane's techniques and abstractions became fractals within themselves until they bifurcated and transcended all time space w/ pure love and joy | |

Brian Sanders:
Congratulations, Steve Rowland. You can hear the care & love that has gone into this doc. Just to hear all those voices; it deserves a wider audience. So...... Power to you Doug for letting us hear it. | |

How can I get a recording of Little Lani Jo? Just want to hear it, not buy it. | |

Drummer Some:
Lani, You can hear that tune two ways: (1) Click on "hear" below "Kane's Blues," above. The song we be the third one that comes up. (2) Go here: http://tinyurl.com/oshs3c and download the album. The song appears on that record. | |
