Soul Eyes - written by Mal Waldron, performed by The |
|
Equinox Concert Ensemble at Conwell Dance Theater, Temple |
|
University on Thursday, September 22nd, 2016. |
|
|
|
The Equinox is the time or date (twice each year) at |
|
which the sun crosses the celestial equator when day and |
|
night are of equal length (about September 22 and March |
|
20). Although this is an annual occurrence, the John |
|
Coltrane recording entitled, Equinox released in 1964 was |
|
a one of a kind event. Atlantic Records included this |
|
ground- breaking song in the album, Coltrane s Sound. His |
|
first wife, Naima named the song "Equinox" as a way of |
|
acknowledging John Coltrane s birthday on September 23, |
|
1926, one day before the official autumn Equinox of that |
|
year. |
|
|
|
On Thursday, September 22nd, 2016, ninety years after |
|
John Coltrane s birth an audience of about 225 people |
|
crammed into Conwell Dance Theater, in North |
|
Philadelphia, on the campus of Temple University to |
|
witness a historic concert that paid homage to the |
|
original recording. This was day six of Philadelphia s |
|
nine-day celebration of John Coltrane's 90th Birthday |
|
entitled, Coltrane At 90: Philadelphia Celebrates John |
|
Coltrane. This concert on day six was a perfect |
|
opportunity to acknowledge John Coltrane's fascination |
|
with science and celestial bodies. |
|
|
|
The concert was presented by: Alfie Pollitt - piano / |
|
music director, Steve Beskrone bass, Alan Nelson drums, |
|
Pete Chavez tenor & soprano sax, Victor North tenor & |
|
soprano sax, Nasir Dickerson tenor sax, Bobby Zankel alto |
|
sax, Vince Turnbull trumpet, Dan Blacksberg trombone. |
|
|
|
