Yeah, this new Coltrane live in Seattle is just incredible... I especially love the Trane solo at the end of "Resolution," but Carlos Ward (giving us an idea of how Eric Dolphy might have approached this piece) and Pharoah Sanders sound great, too... hell, the whole band cooks, and McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones are up front and crucial... nourishing music for love-starved times...
