As a jazz lover, all I can say is thank goodness for European TV in the 60’s. Many of the best artists playing the best music of our time were a rarity on American sets, or their tunes were limited to 3 or 4 minutes. On German telly, the guys could get into and really work a groove. John Coltrane, revered the world over by jazz lovers, really gives “On Green Dolphin Street" a workout, ably assisted by his sidemen, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums.
