PLAYLIST FOR GIANT STEPS
Wednesday, September 6, 2000

Tonight's edition of the program honors John Coltrane, the guiding light of Giant Steps.  As part of KUSP's series of broadcasts of recordings from last weekend's jazz festivals in Chicago and Detroit, we include the David Murray Octet paying tribute to Coltrane and his music.  We also focus on Elvin Jones, Coltrane's drummer for 5 years, who celebrates his 73rd birthday this Saturday, September 9th.  That same day, tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins turns 70, and we include his collaborations with Elvin Jones and John Coltrane tonight.
