John Coltrane’s Both Directions at Once

 

This newly unearthed session from 1963

captures the intensity of Coltrane’s great quartet

and hints at the boundary-stretching brilliance to come

John Coltrane – Blue Train

 

That Francis Wolff shot of John Coltrane

– pensive, self-absorbed,

maybe imagining an elusive sound

yet to be made on a saxophone –

showed how Blue Note artwork

could bring a musician’s interior journey into view.

 

Blue Train, from 1958,

foresaw the breakthroughs

Coltrane would make in the 1960s.

"I want to be the force which is truly for good."

 John Coltrane in 1966, as told Frank Kofsky

 

One afternoon in November 1966,

Frank Kofsky took the train out to Long Island.

 

He was about to spend the day with John Coltrane.

Kofsky brought his tape recorder and what we get to hear

is the conversation the two men had as they drove through town

and made a few stops along the way.

 

Coltrane had moved to Huntington,

New York with his wife Alice and their children in 1964.

 

They lived in a modest house

on a quiet, tree-lined street.

 

It was a home to raise a family.

Coltrane had just turned 40.

He would die from liver cancer less than a year later.

 

During this episode Coltrane talks about moving to the country,

setting up to practice, connecting with the sound of an instrument,

Malcolm X, music as means of expressing that state of society,

and how he wanted to change the world.
