| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report In honor of John Coltrane's birthday, today it is an all-JC day. Starting with Dakar (not originally released as a Coltrane issue, but reissued as such in 1963 by Prestige to take advantage of JC's burgeoning popularity) and going through as many ... |
