The new Coltrane ’A Love Supreme-Live in Seattle" becomes available tomorrow, October 22 for the first time. Can’t wait to get it. Listened to the the only other live version, "Live from Antibes" today. from the Deluxe Edition set, which arrived in the mail today. It was nicely recorded, as well as quite good, Some other versions of the Antibes recording have been reported to be poorly done, so I’m happy to have this one.
And speaking of masterpieces, can anyone recommend their favorite, version of Stravinsky’s "Rites of Spring" to acquire. The one I used to have mysteriously disappeared in the early 80’s and never got replaced. At least the thief had good taste. He, or she, also nabbed Kid Creole’s "Off the Coast of Me", so go figure. Always did like that album too. which was replaced fairly recently. You know, you don’t meet thieves with that sort of eclectic music taste every day. Still can’t figure who did that deed though. It will have to remain in the cold case file unless one of you would care to confess.
