This was awesome and perfect for Valentine's Day. I love hearing A Love Supreme in a Church. I have to make sure I get to The Church of St John Coltrane in SF the next time I go. I love it there. In SF, you are encouraged to get up and participate. They have tambourines for attendees and invite people to bring instruments, etc. I love it.
The other night was of course different, it was a performance in a church with stellar musicians. It too was awesome. I was in the back dancing, as usual. They played the album straight through. There was a vocalist toward the end who sang the prayer. It was about an hour in total.
If I were to pick the bass player, I would have chosen Hill Greene in a minute. He was as awesome as I would have expected. Michael Wimberly was incredible on the drums. He had me a lot. He had a long drum solo toward the end that was amazing.
