Saw him in Chicago @ Sunday Matinee concert @ Modern Jazz Room in early 1957 w Miles Davis Quintet, got all their autographs and then with this band in 62 or 63 @ the Birdhouse. Remember the 57 gig with Miles better than I do the Birdhouse gig because I recall being in a daze. Never heard anything like them before. Remember sitting there and thinking to myself 'Damn - he's soloing playing My Favorite Things for over 30 minutes - it was unbelievable!' I'd never heard anything like that before - or after. This is a tremendous video - thanks much for sharing it!!
Thanks adeduction. Any chance you could post a scan of the autographs? You can also check out my Coltrane page on Facebook: facebook.com/pages/Coltrane-Research/711740515516519?ref=hl
Coltrane Research Unfortunately my brother gave away all of my albums and autographs (except for a few dozen autographs) that I had collected while I was a young wannabe drummer growing in Chicago in the late 50's. the '57 Miles Davis Quintet autographs were given away but I don't know why I have the autographs of the Max Roach Quintet with Rollins & Dorham that I went and saw the following week - right after Miles & Coltrane! In '63 or '64 when I saw Coltrane's band at the Birdhouse I was 19 & had foolishly stopped collecting autographs because I felt I was too old to do that. Two years later when I was drafted and my brother moved to another house he didn't feel like lugging and storing my 4 or 5 hundred albums and my shoe boxes of autographs so he gave them to a taxi driver friend of his who liked jazz. I've just checked out you facebook page via the above and it looks amazing.. I'm going to visit it again and peruse it thoroughly. Thanks again for this great post.
The World's Fair was under construction (particularly the Unisphere) was just being assembled to completion almost simultaneously during the same month/weeks as this show. In keeping with his group's ethos of expressions of contemporary happenings specifically, and modern times generally, I would elicit this collage: Jimmy Garrison's solo was a musical image of the spherical, completed structure. The Atomic/ MCM age of artistic and scientific expression in high gear at the time, it cooks with the unbridled, hot speed that was New York; with what I call that which was once the REAL New York! The Elvin Jones solo conjures up action figure thought images of fearless, hands-on work by skilled labor; a nearly acrobatic, all Native American crew building and assembling that huge, steel ball . The McCoy Tyner solo represents the all but unavailable, yet brand-newly applied computer science and math (as stated in historical fact) to make it structurally sound. Trane's solo(s) was/were an evocative prayers/incantations, THEMATICALLY, to a planet in need of 'Peace Through Understanding'. As a bellwether, and sign-off, sort of, his 'Favorite Things' performance, as his evergreen, signature piece, could (and had been known many times) to go on for twenty-plus minutes in a traditional concert, here is relatively condensed (in the interest and consideration of radio airtime I would suppose). Since it is incompletely recorded for this set, I would venture to say that he probably spared no time in economy of solo, especially since Miles Davis was in the audience. He (Trane) didn't have to listen to, nor conform to long solo restrictions and critiques Miles might have (and had been cited as) placing upon him as his "boss" as Symphony Sid Torin called him in announcement. Here, it a 'populist and pluralist' hopeful Doxology and Benediction that we would all listen and learn. Have we? His music should have been in exposition at the Fair itself, along with MUCH MORE Jazz of that era. Ben Webster did make an expression of this thought on his date on a major record label called "See You At The Fair" on ABC/Impulse.What a waste to omit this musical art overtly from the Fair, especially considering its prevalence in high quality at the time. A progressive, yet repressive, and tragically racist society reigned at the time. The ULTIMATE paradox... What dichotomies! In spite of it all arose one earnest, St. John Coltrane among many others who abode, and abounded then.

Does Trane acknowledge with Bye Bye Blackbird immediately after announcement?
Yes he does!
