Myele Manzanza: A Love Requited 

Myele Manzanza   A Love Requited  First World Records UK  ONE was Myele Manzanza’s debut solo album – by the time of which he was a veteran of so many performances, sideman, band-member, DJ, composer. He had runs on the board already. And it showed. So much so that by the time of OnePointOne (his American live debut) that very first solo album felt like bedsit-leftovers.  That’s […]

Jazz Right In Your Face: Ten Important Jazz Albums In My Life

You know the drill by now – here’s the catch-all blurb/explanation I’ve created for these sorts of lists We all know that lists are subjective – that is the point of them. So I’ve decided to do a series of top 10 albums across genres. They’ll appear sporadically. And rather than call them “Top 10” I […]

Poem: John Coltrane Is Dead And I Am Alive And What – If Anything – Am I Doing About THAT?!

John Coltrane’s been dead for 50 years. A Love Supreme still means more to me, most times I play it, than any other record. John Coltrane was 40. And then dead. I’m older than him now. I’ve beaten him. On one level – and that feels weird. Should it feel weird? Does it seem weird […]

A Love Supreme: John Coltrane’s Life-Changing Sound

My brother arrived home from university with The Stardust Sessions and A Love Supreme. These two albums were life-changing. That’s such a cliché but it’s a cliché for a reason – it’s something that does happen, that has happened often. I carried on playing sport, going to school. In so many ways life was the […]

Poem: A Love Supreme

Amanda moved towards the stereo. Steve sat back in the middle of a black leather two-seater. He was now visibly nervous. To him, it didn’t feel right. Amanda selected a John Coltrane CD from her modest collection of no more than a dozen albums. The late night wash of saxophone, coffee and port seemed to […]

Short Story: Selling Amanda

Steve leaned across the table, clinked glasses lightly with Amanda. “Cheers”, came the simultaneous parroting. Steve swilled back a large dosage of Timara Estate; Amanda paused, her wineglass near her lips – the wine, at this point, untouched. “How long’s it been?” Steve began as soon as the wine swallowing finished. “Haven’t seen you since…” […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1905

John Coltrane, A Love Supreme (1965) My brother had this album. And when he played it to me it was a revelation. It was another cliché life-changing moment. The world stopped while I sat in awe of what was happening. I stared at the speakers, stared at the CD player, held the cover, read all […]
