The Carnegie Hall concert

"Coltrane's playing is something akin to a tapestry for what everyone is expressing, almost a license to just keep going, the openness and freedom of the music somehow capable of inspired organization with no loose ends, unless intended. In 1971, this music may have been of its time, but today, more than half a century later, it sounds like a clarion call for something worth listening to and playing as the New New Thing".
