I simply can't imagine a world...

[Junipercity]

In which John Coltrane had never existed.
Look up the word "sublime" and you will find this track.

Released in March of 1961.
John Coltrane: tenor saxophone
McCoy Tyner: piano

Tyner was twenty two when this was recorded.
Enjoy!

1. That is how I feel about Mark Knopfler (writes lyrics, writes music, composes music, sings lead, plays lead guitar).

That is how I feel about Larry Bird (the greatest basketball player of all time).

That is how I feel about Joe Calzaghe (the greatest boxer of all time).

The joy I have received and still receive from watching their concerts, games, and matches are immeasurable !!!!!!!!!!!

YouTube enables me to watch them in all their glory.

2. Knopfler too is a genius!

One in a hundred million! I enjoy his music often.

[SamKnause]

3. You have excellent taste !!!!

He is truly magical. The world was given a gift the day he was born.

Are you familiar with his 2024 album (One Deep River) ???

It is on my TV right now thanks to YouTube.

It is excellent !!!!

Scavenger's Yard has some serious filthy guitar licks.

His solo career is filled with so many fantastic songs.

Dire Straits was spectacular.

6. I have not heard Knopflers more recent work

I will have to check it out? Thanks!

[SamKnause]

8. You are most welcome.

He has 10 solo albums.

He has played with so many artist's there are too many to list.

11. His recordings with Chet Atkins are priceless.

[SamKnause]

12. Yes they are.

Mark and Emmylou Harris are spectacular together. (entire concert on YouTube)

Mark and Tom Jones together were fantastic. (1 song, on YouTube)

Mark has written 9 sound tracks for films.

The Princess Bride and Wag The Dog are the two films I am familiar with.

Local Hero is extremely popular outside the U.S..

I listened to the tracks from the other movies on YouTube.

I LOVE YouTube !!!!!!!!!!!!

15. Saw That Show!

14. I Saw Danny In November...

...playing on The Beat tour with Belew, Levin, & Vai.
He's an outstanding drummer.

13. Love The Feel

It's in 6/8 time but that piano part makes it seem It's in an odd time signature.
Obviously John's playing is superb, but there is some serious drumming on this too!
Also, the piano solo (after the block chords) starts with only one note being hit at different timings for 15 seconds before another note is hit. Talk about creating tension!.
