What do you say about Coltrane that hasn't been said a million times before by people far more articulate and clever than me? He made music that (to quote Karl Marx) feels like “the heart of a heartless world”.
So, after that slightly prentious intro, here's my last twofer. The First track, “Alabama” was written in response to the Klan bombings which took place in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963 (so there is a Brum connection.) The second is the ultimate piece of Jazz noise – and I like a jazz noise much more than a rock noise these days, for some reason.
