“I Want to Talk About You”, de John Coltrane

O lendário saxofonista norte-americano John Coltrane reuniu, neste 7 de Fevereiro em 1958 nos estúdios de Rudy Van Gelder, uma tropa de elite que incluía Paul Chambers no contrabaixo, Art Taylor na bateria e Red Garland ao piano, para gravar Soultrane, apenas três dias após a primeira sessão que Miles Davis gravou para o álbum Milestones, no mesmo estúdio em Nova Jérsia, Nova Iorque.
Fica a leitura do standard de Billy Eckstine [1914-1993] “I Want to Talk About You”, tema que Coltrane revisitaria em 1964 no álbum Live at Birdland.

‘What Know’, de Lee Morgan

What Know, Lee Morgan’s original, marks one of those increasingly prevalent uses of a compelling melodic device – the pick-up phrase that’s longer than what it leads into. Here we have a theme built mainly around phrases that open with a three – or four-note pick-up, lasting generally for two and a half beats, and close with two notes on the first beat of the following measure. It’s an attractive effect, used here most engagingly in the minor mode. Timmons’s chorded passage stands out in a series of brilliant solos. The side closes with a flash of the theme, long enough to afford a solo glimpse of Timmons and Pee-Wee’s disclosure that we have been listening to the Soul Brothers. Via Blue Note.
