It doesn’t matter where you are now, sooner or later you’re going to want to go somewhere else. It's the nature of this Info Highway, travelled by the short-attention-spanned... So here are a few other destinations which might prove rewarding.  This list was updated, a little, when during our Spring 2000 house cleaning, and everything should still be valid. But you never know. And inevitably we've missed something important (send an email and we'll add it next time)

John Coltrane - related

Keith Severson hasn't touched his comprehensive Coltrane page in quite a while (we can empathize with that), but it remains a comprehensive list of Coltrane information.  The title of the Index page is A Love Supreme.  

The Heavyweight Champion page. A site with information about Coltrane's Atlantic recordings, including Lewis Porter's thorough notes

The Verve Impulse records site:Impulserecords.com.  Info on current releases (may include Coltrane material): Freshtracks. The front door to the label (which has reorganized what music appears on which label): Verve Music Group

The Bluenote web site page on the Blue Train session: Blue Note - Blue Train.   The home page is at Blue Note

Fantasy Records, with some info on the Prestige Coltrane recordings and the Contemporary Ornette sessions: Fantasy, Inc.

The Columbia web site (Sony Music) for Miles Davis: Miles Davis  There's a special site with information about the Kind of Blue session (you need a specific CD version of that session) -- information about this technological wonder at Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Dragon Records (which issued the 1960 Miles Davis Stockholm concert) has a page: Dragon Records

down beat Magazine (see magazines, below), has a Coltrane section: DownBeatJazz.com: John Coltrane (the index page for the Coltrane section)

Ornette Coleman-related

Ornette apparently is involved in a link with the promising name harmolodic.com.  It's still a little sparse and rarely changes, but it's worth a visit.  Ornette Coleman Harmolodic Webpage

Other Sites

Lohmann’s Miles Page – Hosted by Jan Lohmann, leading Miles Davis Discographer, longtime friend and colleague, and one of the few Scandinavians I ever met whose last name was NOT Jensen. Lots of good information here.

Magazines

Coda Magazine, which has gone its own consistent way since 1958 under the guidance of John Norris and Bill Smith, now has a Web page.  While it's not the same as visiting the legendary (and long-gone) Yonge Street building (where the two ran the Jazz and Blues Record Centre, with its marvelous walls autographed by half the jazz musicians in the world), the Web page is well worth a jump: CODA MAGAZINE

down beat Magazine, a jazz tradition since 1934, is now on the net.  www.downbeatjazz.com:.  The site includes a group of pages with Coltrane information, including HTML versions of some classic articles:
