With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Hello Stork and listeners! I was on my way out the door for a ride when I went to put a little air in the old tires, tore a valve stem, and ended up rooting around for a fresh-ish tube. And speaking of tubes, how about a nice couple of Edison Triodes* for fred and me?

2oz Glen Passaic
1oz barium oxide
Stir, sinter, heat lightly, and seal in borosilicate glass.

@Fred, jealous! I got to see him many years ago, a few times with the Willem Breuker Kollektief (he once left his drum kit to the audience with his drum sticks, and played drink glasses, tables, anything he could hit at different audience tables. Funny and great music/theater!).

@Stork: I saw it on the PBS app on demand - then found it in Zuckerland. Found myself watching it a few times more...
Avatar 12:51pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I'll risk taking too much space with my reaction :

Well - here it is ! The whole thing.
(I watched it on demand on the PBS app.)
If Coltrane means as much to you as he does to many of us - there is no way 1 hour 39 minutes will seem enuff. That's the form this happens to be however. But it seemed to me to go even faster - like an hour !
...So - these things always perch in a precarious balance of presenting the subject to an audience who might know nothing about it @ all - & still be truly relevant - in the space of, really, one TV episode.
...I guess I'd honestly prefer a greater quantity of factual detail - to the extent I felt @ the end I'd really learned some things. Not just for this film, however - but generally for this type.
& I don't feel Trane was misrepresented here or anything ...& after all his significance is such that a Director will also be charged with summing that up - no less.
In fact - it reminded me of an aspect of Trane I had honestly sort of forgotten : that his message was really parallel to say MLK's in the 1960s - & he dedicated himself to making actually effectual & positive differences in the world with his energy & activities & life - & he wanted his music to impel us to such ends too. To be fair to myself perhaps - the whole world has drifted notably away from such idealism in the more than half a century since, I think is apparent...
I liked the style well enuff I suppose. With John Coltrane - it's a question of how much to present the realities of the world Jazz has always existed in - especially in those earlier eras - & the actual reverence with which he approached his own work & with which not a few have regarded it since...
It's the same presentation of talking heads as nearly every documentary we've become accustomed to
...some genuinely intimate family (this in fact provides some perspective I didn't have yet)
- some legit Jazz artists who in fact knew him well (like Benny Golson & Sonny Rollins)
- some to make you scratch your head a bit, like John Densmore of the doors ...but he also illustrates how far & broadly Coltrane's influence has reached - & says things completely on point
...& - Bill Clinton ?! Cause he's tooted a few notes on sax maybe ?? Presumably to add gravitas for the bougie target audience or something - & speaking as a Southerner & all this ...but he it turns out says things entirely appropriate also - & even insightful, such as how Trane compares to Picasso in his periods - but all within just a few years instead of 50 !
...but I don't want to give the impression the pacing is bad or anything. It would be completely incongruous to make a film about this music & have bad flow. There's a good amount of archival imagery - & near continuous music underneath & upfront as well.

(Also: ...I love he ticked Miles off by not dressing sharp enuff 😃 ...)

I'm a David - & prefer it really. But if one is to socialize - whatsoever - one had better come to terms with 'Dave'. Sounding friendlier is not always the worst thing...

@RRN63: Many people call me Chris or Christophe for some reason. I respond to these, fred, and variants. Or not. I'm a cat person, so sometimes I'm not in the mood and assume they're calling someone else

abbazabba - Liebman wasn't sure what the hell was going on when this was happening, as I relate later. Liebman has told the story many times. He played his part without hearing the band! No headphones in a room with almost everyone plugged directly into the board!!

Quick hi again-then heading to MOMA. I love Trane, but for a long time I had trouble listening to Trane-sounding sax players (as Mingus said is a similar situation to his sidemen, "stop playing Bird!). But I've come to appreciate the different takes on Tranes template out there, and developed an appreciation of how hard it must be NOT to channel Trane...

I think Lieb has been very forthright about sounding like Trane at first, and partly gave up the tenor sax for a while to force himself away from that sound

Have thot of it as being like saying a Rawk Gittarist sounds like Hendrix. @ one point it becomes redundant / synonymous.
