Coltrane . Live at the Village Vanguard

Coltrane . Live at the Village Vanguard

 

John Coltrane’s Live at the Village Vanguard is one of my favorite jazz albums and when Jac hippied me to the fact that the club had recently celebrated  75 years of music history - I had to share. The vanguard is an institution in NYC and a living testament to an era of Jazz.

  

The Village Vanguard celebrates its 75th birthday. This legendary club located in the West Village neighborhood of New York City has been what many believe to be the heart and soul of jazz for generations. Every fan worth their salt has his or her favorite album recorded in the tiny pie-shaped room that seats a mere 123 patrons – Bill Evans’s ‘Waltz for Debby’ and ‘Sunday at the Village Vanguard’ probably being the most famous, but John Coltrane’s ‘Live at the Village Vanguard’ is legendary.

Gordon Gekko is back. “Wall Street 2 – Money Never Sleeps” will most definitely get our box office cash. In the new issue of Vanity Fair with Michael Douglas on the cover atop a pile of gold bars, Oliver Stone said his film which was meant to be an anti-capitalism statement, ended upon be embraced by wall street and being the catalyst for a new generation of brokers looking to be Gordon Gekko.

 

This trailer is set to the Rolling Stones “Sympathy For The Devil” and features Michael Douglas, Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan and Shia LaBeouf. It also reveals a bit more of the story. Douglas’ Gekko has written a book, has not spoken to his daughter in years, and that daughter is dating LaBeouf.  Enjoy :)
