Bright Moments During Coltrane Celebration / There were many, but the mind blowing few were... / 1. During outdoor screening of Chasing Trane documentary, an actual train passes on the tracks behind and below the screen, but the noises that it produces merges with the film providing an eery, but beautiful experience / 2. During Odean Pope's powerful performance in front of the Coltrane House, pushing my sunglasses down to cover my eyes for fear of completely losing it and crying. The energy was high and the emotional pull was intense. There were many tears on display / 3. During the Tenor Madness concert at Clef Club, 90 year old, saxophonist and friend of John Coltrane, Charlie Cunningham, presents a moving solo performance of Lush Life and gets a much deserved, standing ovation / #CelebratingColtrane #PhillyJazz #BrightMoments (at Fairmount Park, Philly)
