As Ashley Kahn points out in his informative liner notes, there aren't many
visual recordings of jazz giant John Coltrane in circulation--or, possibly, in
existence. In capturing the saxophonist in three different phases in his too-
brief career, this installment in the inestimable Jazz Icons video series
performs a valuable service. The 92-minute DVD includes a 1960 performance in
Dusseldorf, Germany, featuring Coltrane on tenor with his mates from Miles
Davis's rhythm section, jamming on Miles's tunes; a 1961 performance in Baden
Baden, Germany, with Coltrane on soprano and tenor, and Eric Dolphy on alto sax
and flute, backed by pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Reggie Workman, and super-
drummer Elvin Jones; and a surpassingly intense 1965 Belgium performance by "the
Classic Quartet," with Jimmy Garrison replacing Workman. The black-and-white
footage, some of it from broadcast sources, is sometimes striking, sometimes too
shadowy (the dated camera effects, while evincing a certain period charm, still
don't help). And a rare meeting of Coltrane and tenor great Stan Getz at the end
of the Dusseldorf set is compromised by the poor miking of Getz. But we'll put
up with such imperfections to hear the primal force of Trane's playing cut
through the years, on songs ranging from "Autumn Leaves," to "Impressions," to
"My Favorite Things."
