This week marks the 100th birthdate of John Coltrane, September 23, 1926. I have played so much Trane and Miles over the past several months, that I didn't dedicate the entire show to JC's birthday, but played a set near the end that celebrates Trane's free soloing as well as lush ballads. Prior to that set we feature drummer Jeff Hamilton and Mike Clark, as well as pianists Hampton Hawes and Christian Sands. Finally, the gorgeous arrangements for large ensembles from John Hollenbeck.

I sit down with Derek Trucks and basically nerd out about music for two hours. We talk about him finding his thing before he was old enough to understand it, playing with the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, and falling in love with Susan Tedeschi over a shared obsession with music. Derek also breaks out his Ass Pocket Whiskey, breaks down John Coltrane, tells me about getting his first Allman Brothers money stolen, touring with a 12-piece band, cutting your teeth before the whole world is watching, and why the music still has to feel dangerous.

Inside the San Francisco Church Where John Coltrane is a Saint If Coltrane were still alive, he'd be celebrating his 100th birthday this month. In a story from our friends at KQED's Bay Curious podcast, Asal Ehsanipour visits the Saint John Coltrane African Orthodox Church in San Francisco, where Reverend Franzo King and Mother Marina have spent 60 years turning the jazz legend's music into a spiritual practice. What began as a living room listening clinic in the 1960s grew into a congregation that has weathered evictions and a copyright lawsuit. Still, they persist in the belief that Coltrane's saxophone carries a divine message.

For John Coltrane's hundredth birthday, this episode of The Buzz has host Lawrence Peryer delivering a solo monologue tracing how critics heard Coltrane while he was alive, and how that judgment has shifted, or hasn't, in the sixty-five years since.The piece opens with discussion of John Tynan's 1961 Down Beat review calling Coltrane and Eric Dolphy's playing "anti-jazz," then turns to LeRoi Jones (later Amiri Baraka), who used the same root word, "anarchy," that Tynan had used derisively, but as praise, in his essay "Jazz and the White Critic." From there it follows Ira Gitler's "sheets of sound," coined to give critics language for what Coltrane was doing instead of dismissing it as noise, and Miles Davis's On the Corner, hated at release and reclaimed twenty years later.The heart of the episode is Coltrane's relationship with Albert Ayler: the phone calls, the shared bills at the Village Vanguard, Coltrane pushing producer Bob Thiele to sign Ayler to Impulse, and Ayler's quartet opening Coltrane's 1967 funeral with a set built from their own compositions. Coltrane is close to a saint today. Ayler is still a name that has to be explained.The episode closes on a live critical fight: Phil Freeman's recent Brooklyn Rail case that Coltrane's real peak ended in 1965, against guitarist Nels Cline, drummer Jack DeJohnette, and saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's defense of the late recordings Freeman dismisses. The same argument that split critics in 1961 is still unresolved in 2026.Musical excerpts heard in this episode: John Coltrane, "Chasin' the Trane" (Live at the Village Vanguard, 1961); Miles Davis, "Black Satin" (On the Corner, 1972); Albert Ayler Quartet, "Truth Is Marching In," from the album, In Greenwich Village.Buzzworthy NotesGuest & Host Lawrence Peryer — host and managing editor of The BuzzDiscussed John Coltrane · Eric Dolphy · John Tynan (Down Beat critic who wrote the 1961 "anti-jazz" review) · LeRoi Jones / Amiri Baraka ("Jazz and the White Critic," collected in Black Music) · Ira Gitler (coined "sheets of sound") · Miles Davis, On the Corner (1972) · Albert Ayler · Ornette Coleman · Phil Freeman (critic, Brooklyn Rail / Burning Ambulance) · Nels Cline · Jack DeJohnette · Peter Brötzmann · Meditations (1966) · Interstellar Space (recorded 1967) · Saint John Coltrane African Orthodox Church, San FranciscoSupport for The JJA comes in part from the Jazz Foundation of America, providing emergency assistance, healthcare, and performance opportunities to performers, composers and others in need.

In 1984, Paul Simon was at a professional and personal crossroads. His new marriage was failing and his career was in danger of stalling. He was forty-two, navigating a digital age, searching for inspiration in a scene driven by music videos, synthesizers, and drum machines.Driving around that summer, a bootleg cassette of “township jive”—the street music of South Africa—kept him company. Lent to him by a friend, it reminded Simon of the sound and the joy of the early days of rock and roll. He began to invent his own lyrics to the groove, and became drawn to the idea of recording with the musicians on that tape. But South Africa was in the thrall of a racist apartheid system, and with economic and cultural boycotts in place, such an undertaking was risky. He grew determined to find the right conditions to allow for a collaboration.Simon took a fateful trip to Johannesburg in 1985. It would turn out to be the first step on a musical journey that would lead him to New York, Los Angeles, Louisiana, and London, and eventually to the release of Graceland, a critical and commercial triumph, winning multiple Grammys, selling 16 million records, and spawning a five-year, worldwide tour.Days of Miracle and Wonder: Paul Simon and the Trials and Triumphs of Graceland (Atria Books, 2026) is the first book to tell the full story of Graceland, offering windows into Simon's creative process, the technical innovations that brought his songs to life, the people and places that made the album possible, the forces that helped the album achieve mainstream reach, and the controversies that the music raised—and which remain today. It sheds light on a period when America opened its doors to the sounds and styles of Africa and other faraway lands.This is an informed, heartfelt celebration of Simon's magnum opus, a recording forged in a tense cultural moment, but suffused with hope, change, and a sense of global connection.

At ten, he took up the upright bass with the D.C. Youth Orchestra Program, discovering a family connection to the instrument through his great-grandfather, a bassist who reportedly gave lessons to a young John Coltrane. While studying classical bass at DCYOP, Holt attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts (1996–2000), working under Carolyn Kellock, Davey Yarborough, the late Keter Betts, and Steve Novasel, and soon began performing widely on the D.C. jazz scene.In this episode we discuss his 2026 sophomore album, Freedom of Art, a deeply personal and expansive statement that explores themes of lineage, fatherhood, identity, community, and spiritual growth. Featuring an all-star ensemble, the project blends original compositions with intimate interludes that incorporate the voices of family, mentors, and lived experience.

Er trieb mit «Giant Steps» den Bebop auf die Spitze, nahm mit «My Favorite Things» seine Erkennungsmelodie auf, schuf mit Duke Ellington oder Sänger Johnny Hartmann Werke von betörender Schönheit und entwickelte dann eine modale Spielweise von verstörender Intensität.

Dawoud Bey talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Bey, who was born in 1953 in New York, makes photographs and film installations that address the experience of Black people in the US, from the horrors of slavery via racist violence and the Civil Rights era to intimate moments in contemporary life. He began his career as a photographer in the 1970s with the consistent aim to work as an artist rather than a photojournalist. While he was celebrated from the start for his depictions of people and communities, he has always had a particular sensitivity to place, and after several decades in which portraiture and street photography were dominant strains in his practice, his work over the past decade has focused mostly on landscape. But even when they are not physically present, those who have lived in and travelled through the places he depicts are as much part of the photographs' and films' subject as the environments captured by his camera. He has said of recent series, for instance, that he wants to capture the landscape as seen and felt by the enslaved people who moved through it, and a profound sense of empathy underpins all his output. “This notion of the radical Black imaginary,” he explains, “is the foundation or place that my work springs from.” He discusses how his background in jazz and how it has influenced his art-making, his term “subjective opticality” and what it tells us about the camera and the perspective of the photographer, and the importance of photographs as objects. He reflects on the early influence of Roy DeCarava and John Coltrane, who continue to impact his thinking today, his early fascination with Rembrandt, his work with David Hammons and friendship with Torkwase Dyson, how he has responded to Toni Morrison in his recent photographic series, and the ongoing influence of Michael Roemer, the film-maker with whom he studied. Plus, he gives insight into life in the studio and asks our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Dawoud Bey: Material Histories, Living Landscapes, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada, until 4 July 2027.

Shelley Hirsch is a formidable extended vocalist long on the global avant garde scene. She is unique in that she combines a riveting gymnastic orality, a very unique dadaistic meta-language with  warm, deep stories emerging from her life, most impressively remembering her early days growing up in East New York, Brooklyn. In spring 2002, my iMMERSE collaborator, bart plantenga, interviewed her for his book, Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo: The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World. For bart, Shelley's piece “Haiku Lingo” is proof of yodeling in the modern world, that the yodel is useful in the repertoire of avant garde vocalists. In musical terms, she is able to sing and articulate across the break between head and chest voice. She is NOT a yodeler in the folk sense but is among the finest multi-voiced extended vocalist heirs along with clever abstract vocalists like Cathy Berberian, Joan LaBarbara and Yma Sumac. Leon Thomas, the jazz singer who worked with Pharaoh Sanders and John Coltrane, brought his own abstract yodel to free jazz.  But what makes Shelley different is her fusing of dynamic coloratura with deep, often witty, storytelling that wends it's way through her periodic ululations. Her poetic tales are sometimes reminiscent of Laurie Anderson's stories while bringing much needed humor to the oft self-serious, rarefied world of avant garde music… Shelley and I have often crossed paths over the years. First time was in 2003, when Rhys Chatham and I curated the  New Sounds New York, 3D Morrow Sound Cube artists. Shelley was right there in full musical color with the chilling piece,  Please Stop Scratching that Gash! (2003).  Credits & samples interview: Shelley Hirsch & Charlie Morrow

This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation…  In part 2 of a two-part conversation on the Whiskey, Jazz, and Leadership podcast, host Galen Bingham continues with executive search entrepreneur Frank Clark, who explains that strong leaders capture hearts, minds, and imaginations, and that Encore Leadership Advisors stress-tests this “followership” through early interactions and back-channel references to avoid mismatched opportunities. Clark shares that what wasn't “in the brochure” of his current role was hearing many more “no's” in a competitive executive search market, which reinforced the need for relentlessness, immersion, and bringing value in every client interaction. The discussion connects entrepreneurship to John Coltrane's journey, including being misunderstood and operating from a calling, not just a career. Clark also describes his “invisible board of directors”—Reginald Lewis, John H. Johnson, and Bob Johnson—highlighting preparation, work ethic, belief, strategy, and team-building, and closes with advice on core values, mastery, and service.

Saxophonist / multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy (born June 20, 1928) and trumpeter Booker Little (born April 2, 1938) were frequent collaborators near the end of their all too brief careers. After establishing himself with the Chico Hamilton group, he went on to perform with John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, as well as his own groups and recordings with Oliver Nelson and George Russell. While often considered a member of the jazz avant-garde, he was just stretching the conventions of tonality and rhythm established by the beboppers in novel and unexpected ways. Trumpeter Little played with Max Roach, replacing the great Clifford Brown in that band. He passed away at the age of 23 of uremia, and Dolphy at 36 of complications of undiagnosed diabetes.

This episode of Deep Focus does not have a spoken introduction. It starts immediately after the previous episode ends.     The moment you invoke the name of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, the widow of John Coltrane, you open a door into other ways of understanding.  She was part of her husband's last working band, but after his death, and for the next 40 years, her music became suffused with her spiritual practice and mystical experiences.  Her conviction was so thorough that some listeners found it alienating, but others were compelled by it.  Although she is no longer with us, her music remains a deep well of discovery.   Pianist Vijay Iyer has explored her music richly.  What has he found in it? What influence has it had on him?  On his music and his life?  Let's listen with him to rare, live recordings of her and find out how and why her work is so fascinating.     Tune in this Monday (6/8) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  It will join over 450 promo-free episodes.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, sponsor-free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, 1972.  No publishing information available.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #VijayIyer #AliceColtrane  # AliceColtraneTuriyasangitananda #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman

George Washington could have stayed president for a third term, yet in his famous Farewell Address, he wrote that he would “decline being considered." He penned that address by candlelight in 1796, and curator Lisa Kathleen Graddy explains why the brass stand that held those candles is a significant part of American history.Then, Ethel Payne was the first Black American woman to become an international news correspondent. A flowered, wide brim hat made her stand out in a room full of male reporters, and Smithsonian curator Jennifer Sieck shares how this hat represents Payne's legacy.And, few musicians have changed American music quite like John Coltrane did. He pushed jazz in new directions over his short career. Smithsonian curator Krystal Klingenberg talks about a tenor saxophone that Coltrane played in his final years.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
