Coltrane recording found on Quebec film
Via a tweet from Tu Thanh Ha, an NPR story about the rediscovery of a lost album by John Coltrane via a movie made by Montrealer Gilles Groulx, a non-prolific but influential NFB director who died in 1994. It was recorded for his 1964 feature film Le chat dans le sac, which can be watched online here.

The release date is September 27, just four weeks before my birthday.
This is very interesting news. I don’t buy every Coltrane album, but the local angle is incentive to get this. Unlike some other jazz musicians, I got Coltrane’s music from the first album I bought, Live at The Village Vanguard, only 20 years ago.
