We celebrate the end of the year today with the second annual New Year’s Eve Tribute to Trane–music for ringing in, or recovering the next day, or both. A lightning strike of an Afro Blue from the fall of 1963 opens the mix, followed by some musings on Trane from Ethan Iverson of The Bad Plus.
Derek Trucks pays tribute with an early version of his cover of My Favorite Things, and the quartet plays a popping rendition of Inch Worm in Europe in 1962. We close out with a long, languorous I Want To Talk About You, that final solo stretching even farther than usual. A happy and prosperous New Year, and as always, enjoy!
