CORRECTION |
|
[b.]: add '*2' to '*1' (additional track note) |
*2 Nat Birchall, a soprano and tenor saxophonist who lists home as "...the hills of North West UK", has suggested that two of Coltrane's compositions are actually one and the same. He writes:
I especially value the book so that I can put some dates/locations to
some of the live sessions I've collected over the years, your listing
of all issues/reissues is quite a work in itself. In trying to identify
some of these dates I've come across a couple of things, firstly page
672, 63-0223, b. "Untitled Original" is actually "Transition", the
first few ascending notes are not exactly the same as the studio
version but it's unquestionably the same tune.
Our review indicates however that while the similarities are striking, these remain two closely related but distinct compositions. The common link between the two is in the melodic material. Both melodies start around the same pitch and have a similar shape to them. They also share a certain angularity in how some of the intervals are emphasized. But even here there are some differences. 63-0223b starts on a concert D flat (reflecting the underlying augmented scale) where “Transition” (65-0610d) begins on a C and does not have a D flat in it.
As suggested, the harmonic underpinnings of the two compositions are different. 63-0223b is largely an exploration of a Db augmented major seventh chord, although a few notes in the melody don't belong to that tonal area. This can be seen in Coltrane's solo, which early on echoes the angularity of that chord. “Transition” by contrast is built around a D Phrygian scale. As the quartet explores each tune, these distinctions blur somewhat, but they do suggest that the compositions are different harmonically.
And finally, the structure of the two compositions is also different. 63-0223b features a four-bar phrase, repeated. The first time through, the line moves up to end on an A; the second time through it ends on an F. The theme is repeated after a short improvised section. “Transition” uses a similar four-bar melodic phrase, but it's repeated four times. The first three repetitions end on a concert A below C; the last repetition ends on A but is followed by four measures of additional material to bring the melody to a conclusion.
So, we agree with Nat that these two compositions are closely related, but the differences are sufficient to indicate that they are only close relatives and not one-and-the-same. (7/6/08-daw)

Session/Issue Notes
[1] The arrangement of this concert shown above is based on information from a variety of sources, including a nearly complete recording of the concert itself. That recording confirms that "Chasin' the Trane", whose source was previously unknown, is from this concert. Our review also shows that "Traneing In" and "Naima" are continuous, and that "The Promise" through "Impressions" are continuous (with "I Want To Talk About You", not "Impressions", following "Spiritual").
Our placement of "My Favorite Things" following "Naima" cannot be confirmed from the available concert recording, but it conforms to the normal order of performances by the quartet. However, “Mr. P.C.” definitely followed “My Favorite Things.” At the end of “My Favorite Things,” Garrison can be heard playing
some notes on the bass. On the beginning of the original Pablo CD issue of “Mr. P.C.” ( PL PACD 2308-222-2), Garrison can be heard playing these notes, before Coltrane begins (on soprano sax) playing “Mr. P.C.” “Mr. P.C.” was a standard concert closer at this time, and positioning it following "My Favorite Things" also explains why Coltrane begins on soprano saxophone. It also seems likely that there would have been an intermission at this point, before a second set beginning with "The Promise" (a standard set opener around that time).
(Pablo’s later release of this material, Live Trane—The European Tours [ Pab 7 PACD-4433-2], edits out some of the material between the tunes and splices the tunes together, and is therefore not reliable for determining the set order.)
[2] Original live recordings by Norman Granz. Portions of the concert were also broadcast by Swedish radio.
[3] The original issue of the HPLP series has no titles on either sleeve or label. A second pressing of the albums has an advertising flyer on each sleeve.
[4] Title [d.] is complete on issues 3 and 13 (18:26); it is incomplete on issues 2, 9, 14, 15, 16 (around 8:15).
[5] As indicated in Note [1] above, we have now confirmed that 63-1022–63-1104a, "Chasin' the Trane" (sometimes identified as being from session 63-1101) is actually from this concert. As indicated earlier, Session 63-1022–63-1104 has therefore been deleted. Our thanks to Jörgen Adolfsson of Stockholm Sweden for his considerable help in assembling information about this concert.
[6] As noted, the Quartet performed twice on October 22 1963. The music above most probably comes from one of those two performances (not both), but we don’t yet know which performance was recorded. |
