In Glasgow city centre on Friday 20 March? Fancy listening to some fine jazz performances?! Then you might like to attend a performance of the Strathclyde University Big Band. Free entry!

The Big Band comprises staff, students, alumni, and ex-staff of the University of Strathclyde (of which I am one!). The set list looks like it will feature standards by #Basie, #Cannonball #Adderley, and more.

"John Coltrane & Cannonball Adderley" obviously by #Coltrane and #Adderley. Originally recorded in 1959, then released since mid-sixties under various names (at start just as Cannonball album). Begins w/fast tempo madness, but mostly ballads and jams. Coltrane is only sideman on this album though he wrote two tracks.

On my 2019 CD (AJC) there's also Coltrane's "Mating Call" album (1956 recording) as a bonus, that nicely doubles the playing time.

Good music.
