I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I'm doing...the emotional reaction is all that matters, as long as there's some feeling of communication, it isn't necessary that it be understood.

Blues to Elvin

Perhaps the most musically accessible John Coltrane for new listeners is when he plays the Blues. The Blues is a form that is basic to a lot of American music, but most especially Jazz.

Three Murals of John Coltrane.

The first one is currently Diamond Streets. The second was on the corner of 29th and Diamond Streets. The last was really the first, it was near 33rd and Diamond Streets. Wish we could have kept them all.

  I know many of you will remember Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid in the Harry Potter films. But, for me, he will always be Sir Jack Falstaff in Kenneth Branagh’s version of Henry V (the film that brought me to The Word of Will).   RIP Robbie. “If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! if to be old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is damned: if to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord; banish Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins: but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant, being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's company: banish plump Jack, and banish all the world.”

Coyote meets Cricket, Cricket meets Coltrane

Crickets cackle crisp, An only interruption, being I, Atop dust, whisper and Desert highway. I’d tell you if I were running, But I’m not quite sure, not yet, Leaving only coyotes to eat crickets And later, deliver answers unimpeded.

I have a faint memory – A snake’s grip promised, her hand and A later promise, once given by mystic; Fulfilled in 17 years of thunder, Steel stained crimson, Street stained whimper And forever remaining, “Under-construction.”

A more relevant scaffold, ½ bamboo and the other steel, The only purpose – elsewhere, unknown, While I tap my belly to some Melody we’d once enjoyed; Maybe something by, “Coltrane,” Or maybe not; but music we’d both Recognize and reminisce to.

It’s an awkward alchemy of sorts, As the crickets continue to chirp, As the dust continues to cake, As the whisper finds newer ears, As interrupt’s abrupt, erupts, Pacifies and interrupts again; My precious distraction – A respite loyal to away from, “then.”

- Hathaway Hayes (2013)
