Trane's Day

This podcast was recorded the day after John Coltrane's birthday. We celebrate this Giant of Jazz with some of his best compositions. Speaking of giants, we start with Giant Steps. We also hear from others that have been influenced by his music. We break from Trane's music to play a couple from Ray Charles. The Genius shares a birthday with Trane, by the way.
