Larry SeidmanHOST
Now for a whole album that was inspired by a great pianist and composer's love for his favorite collaborator.
Jeffrey LovellGUEST
Yeah, recorded in 1964, released in 1965.
Jeffrey LovellGUEST
Um, I mean, it's, it features this classic quartet with, um, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones.
Jeffrey LovellGUEST
Um, I think for me, that album is a pivotal album, and it has to do a lot with, uh, what, uh, Justin was saying about this connection to the spiritual, to the cosmos, that you can tell that, that Coltrane is trying to connect his music to something higher, transcend, you know, transcend sort of any kind of, you know, uh, earthly kind of, uh, pursuit to try to reach a, a more spiritual level of existence with it.
Jeffrey LovellGUEST
Um, and so that spirituality in his, in that album, I think is probably more deliberate and much more intensified than anything before that.
Marc JenksHOST

Marc JenksHOST

Robert MillerHOST
And then when I was about 19, as fate would have it, over the summer I took a course in New York City at one of the colleges and they set me up with a teacher for in-person lessons.
Robert MillerHOST
And that teacher happened to be Jimmy Garrison-
Ivor DavisGUEST
Mm
Robert MillerHOST
... who was none other than John Coltrane's bass player, okay? So it was unbelievable that he became my teacher, and he got me into jazz, and that changed my life as well.
Robert MillerHOST
I came of age musically during the 1960s, and particularly during the British Invasion era of that decade.
Robert MillerHOST
But at 19, I got introduced to jazz when I studied bass with Jimmy Garrison, John Coltrane's bass player.
Robert MillerHOST
From then on, jazz became a very important part of my musical vocabulary.
Robert MillerHOST
My debut 1994 album, Miles Behind, featured my take on three classic jazz tunes.
Drew SchlosbergHOST
