And to close out this evening:
John Coltrane: A Love Supreme
Impulse Records, 1964
With the great Elvin Jones on drums, this recording would foreshadow a progression for Coltrane to eventually exclude keyboard accompaniment to trio form (with bass & drums) then finally horn with drums alone. This LP really paved the way for the later London rock power trio with Mitch Mitchell and other virtuosos on percussion, in my opinion.
