Great Offerings: For those among us who absolutely love all things Coltrane, a recently recovered recording of his work is now available. It's entitled, A Love Supreme - Live In Seattle by John Coltrane. Recorded at The Penthouse in Seattle in 1965, this Impulse Records CD set is an important recording because it's a rare live performance of A Love Supreme captured on tape. It's also a significant recording because it takes place during a transitional period for the Coltrane band. This performance features McCoy Tyner – piano, Jimmy Garrison & Donald Garrett – bass, Elvin Jones – drums, with Carlos Ward – alto sax and Pharaoh Sanders – tenor sax.

GREAT OFFERINGS: For those among us who love to peer behind the scenes into the lives of influential people and enjoy a good read, look no further than the book, "I Walked With Giants: The Autobiography of Jimmy Heath" written by the Philly Jazz legend himself and writer Joseph McLaren, published by @templeunivpress. A member of the ubiquitous Heath Jazz family, Jimmy, along with brothers Percy, Tootie and their South Philly home were a magnetic force in Philly’s Golden Age of Jazz. Heath’s story is a tour through the transition from Swing to the newly forming developments of Bebop and its eventually maturing into what we call Straight Ahead Jazz. Jimmy Heath’s tales about Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and John Coltrane are not merely about illustrating his admiration or adoration of these “Giants,” but is a powerful testament to his colossal, yet sometimes understated place in this music’s story as well.
