: A 1974 reissue of ’s Live at the Village Vanguard (green/ABC Impulse labels etc.; sounds great, cheap). Cut from four nights of his two weeks at the NYC venue in 1961. Its B-side “ends when it ends and it could conceivably go on much longer. It doesn’t know the meaning of ‘sufficient.’ Sometimes it gets unbearably exciting. It can make the listener think: What exactly is going on here?” https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2021/11/03/john-coltrane-village-vanguard-1961/ @vinylrecords

Hope that NYC's Emergency Group picks up more press on their short tour — caught them on Sunday and it's just totally exciting and venturesome work. Not smart enough to articulate what's happening exactly — see liners by @bourgwick for that — but we picked up wafts of the usual suspects (Miles' Big Fun, Get Up with It comps, specifically) but there are definitely post-punk undercurrents too? Anyways, it's great https://chicagoreader.com/music/concert-preview/emergency-group-sleeping-village/

“Hundreds of police officers in riot gear marched onto the campus of Columbia University in Upper Manhattan late Tuesday” — that’s Mayor Adams’s NYPD in riot gear on a college campus, and, per the radio stream reportedly using a lift to climb into a third floor window and wielding sledgehammers remove barriers https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/30/nyregion/columbia-protests-college/columbia-student-protest-encampment?smid=url-share

NYC Mayor Adams’s “outside agitators” claim is familiar and important — it has long been deployed by officials exactly like him in order “to justify extreme measures against all of the protesters under that guise” (H/T Gothamist) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/08/us/outside-agitators-history-civil-rights.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

Re: Adams’s disgraceful “outside agitators” claim — which is being used in other cities this week (https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/27/us/campus-protests-palestine-outside-agitator-cec/index.html ) — it’s worth remembering that in “In 2020, city officials blamed anarchists for violence against police officers during the Black Lives Matter protests but never provided concrete evidence for the claim” https://gothamist.com/news/mayor-adams-nypd-tell-columbia-protesters-to-leave-risking-arrest-if-police-are-called

Good to remind people that four years ago, when nearly 20,000 people were infected with COVID and hundreds were already dying, worked to purposely withhold desperately necessary masks, gloves and other lifesaving equipment from states that didn't vote for his father-in-law, in the face “of a once-in-a-century public health catastrophe” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/09/jared-kushner-let-the-markets-decide-covid-19-fate

One afternoon in October of 1960 marked "the first proper recording session for the Quartet—and it promptly produced one of the greatest moments in history: Coltrane’s rendition of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s 'My Favorite Things'" https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/john-coltrane-my-favorite-things-changed-american-music-180983453/

“I showed up the following Monday promptly at two to find the bar mostly empty and miraculously quiet.
