Today is John Coltrane's birthday. In celebration, I may finally watch The John Coltrane Documentary that I missed in August (see the email below) or revisit the NPR podcast referenced in the other email set forth below or maybe I shall just meditate on my favorite Coltrane song
Yeah, that's what I will do.

Subject: Must See TV for August 2023: PBS: Independent Lens: Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary
For August 2023, PBS has a number of programs that I plan on watching. On Tuesday, August 8, Frontline will air an episode entitled "Inside the Iranian Uprising". Given my interests in Islamic countries and societies, I will definitely watch and record this program. A separate PBS station which covers world events will be airing a series entitled "Rivers of Life" with episodes on The Nile, The Amazon, and The Mississippi. I sense that these great rivers may be endangered so I will watch these episodes with some dread as to what the future holds. The program which I am most looking forward to viewing is an Independent Lens showing of the 2016 documentary Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary
Out of all my PBS viewing in August, I suspect that it will be the Coltrane documentary that brings me the most joy.
Peace,
Everett "Skip" Jenkins
P. S. Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary airs at 8:00 pm on Wednesday, August 16, on the separate PBS station covering the world. Check your local PBS listings to see if you are similarly blessed.

Today is Coltrane's birthday. I am a late comer to jazz and do not have an extensive historical connection to the genre. However, it just "happened" that I was listening to The California Report Maqazine this afternoon
Today's report was about the The Real Ambassadors musical prepared for the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1962. This report had an emotional effect on me. Perhaps it will for you and others as well.
Take care, my friends, and continue to live in Celebration of 'Trane.
Peace,
