Special Program:
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of John Coltrane's death (on July 17, 1967), Doug Schulkind is re-broadcasting the historic, unforgettable five-hour documentary, "Tell Me How Long Trane's Been Gone," — a thrilling kaleidoscope of rare interviews, reminiscences, music selections and commentary that analyzes and celebrates the creative genius of John Coltrane.
Airing on five consecutive Fridays,

This week will feature rare recorded interviews with Charlie Parker and John Coltrane; Coltrane's first-ever recorded performance, in 1946 on alto sax, while with the Navy in Hawaii; interviews with Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Steve Lacy, Rashied Ali and numerous other musical titans; a fascinating walking tour of the 1940s jazz scene in Philadelphia were the young John Coltrane began his musical journey.
Because it is still commercially available (directly from the producer),
the broadcast of this documentary will not be archived.
