For the first time I am teaching a COLTRANE COURSE ONLINE: This is open to ANYONE on the planet Earth. Four classes, 2 hours each, registration is now open, it's only $20 per class, and this WILL fill up ! Oct 14, 21, 28 and Nov 4, 7-9pm NYC time. If You Cannot watch the class at that time, NO PROBLEM-- you can arrange to watch the class recordings anytime!! Just send them an email Before you register (LCE@lexingtonma.org )

Please note, this course is appropriate for people who already know a lot about Coltrane, as well as for those new to Coltrane. I'll be moving quickly, sharing rare and unreleased recordings, recent research, questions to explore, etc.

CLASS 1 WILL LOOK AT Coltrane’s early life and first recordings, 1926-1957, through his first recordings with Miles Davis: Private recordings that he made at age 19. The switch from alto to tenor sax. Two years with Dizzy Gillespie. Touring with R&B bands. His discovery by Miles Davis. A rare look at how his solos were edited.
