Wild Card Wednesday! - John Coltrane



Alabama

Here's a little Coltrane to help you get through the hump day. This version of the song can be found on The Smithsonian Collection Of Classic Jazz compilation. Here's what the liner notes say about this track:

Alabama begins as if with solemn meditation, moves to prayer, to hope, to affirmation, and ends again in prayer. When asked if it concerned the desegregation problems of its date and the bombing deaths of some black children in Alabama, Coltrane replied simply, "It represents, musically, something that I saw down there, translated into music from inside me."

Sit back, relax and enjoy.
