It's always a special feeling that I have when a performance begins with Coltrane. It's as if the musicians are acknowledging their teacher, their inspiration. As if they want to start their set with a prayer of thanks and homage. And it tells me, and the rest of the audience,
"This is music. This is real. This what we will play for you. This is how we will play for you."
And then I know the rest of the set will be fine.
And it was wonderful!
