Jetrexpro, I saw Trane live, and McCoy Tyner, and Elvin Jones both gave up on Trane, and stayed with each other. Trane went on one of his "excursions" as he was prone to do live. Although me, Tyner, and Elvin Jones had no idea where Trane was going, the professional musicians I was seated at the table with knew everything; they even explained it to me, but I still didn't understand.
Trane's importance to Miles can not be overstated when they were together. Think about it next time you listen to any recording they made together; while the record just said "Miles Davis", as opposed to Trane and Miles, if you took Trane out of the tune, what would you have?

I saw Coltrane perform "My Favorite Things" with the same group you have on that record. To say it was an unforgettable night is an understatement.

Enjoy the music.
