This is a decidedly downturned show…blame my mood, but there’s also some defiance in here.

Purple & blue because of Prince…and green because of Ireland celebrating a special 100th Anniversary.

Enjoy!

This show was a no-brainer when a work colleague pointed out to me that Coltrane would have turned 89 this year.

Enjoy nearly four hours of this now long-gone genius!
