In Reply to: Review of John Coltrane: Offering - Live at Temple University posted by radiodaddy on September 25, 2014 at 09:14:21:
Thanks for the review and for refreshing my memory. I'll have to get the recording. I attended that concert in 1966, and I didn't like much of it. I was a teenager and my knowledge of Trane was limited to his work with Miles Davis band and his recordings on Atlantic. Imagine my surprise.
Much of what you hear is Pharaoh and it seems there were at least three or four other sax players. I thought Alice Coltrane was a poor substitute for McCoy Tyner, and Jimmy Garrison wasn't there. Steve Knoblauch looked ridiculous. He was jumping around while he tried to play. I thought his jumping was much better than his playing. Trane was backstage for a long while before he came out for the last tune. Then it was obvious he was very sick, which I didn't know previously. I had the feeling that he was expressing his pain and spirituality. Trane could talk to you through his horn and he was praying.
It was moving.
Trane died of liver cancer nine months later. If I knew then what I know now.....
