Does anyone know the name of the album on which Coltrane is tripping on acid? How is it?

The album when he's on cough medicine is even better. I think it's called Blowin' My Nose or something like that.

OM was the first jazz album i ever heard. i thought the whole genre was that fuckin' strange.
listening to A Love Supreme on acid is also classic.

Yeah, I'd say the record with him chanting about clarified butter would be the acid one...

OM- Yet another album I've given a girl just before we broke up. She "kinda liked noisy jazz" and wanted to know if I had anything "far out." I gave her a double of Ascention and Om, and she played 'em like twice, when I was around, for show and then sold 'em.

(and for me, Africa Brass I&II is what I used to listen to when I was ON acid and needed to calm the fuck down and reground myself...)

dude she sold your gifts? that kinda sucks.

She also cheated on me. But hey, I've got a new girlfriend and have (as of yesterday) replaced all of the albums that she didn't return- aside from a Joe Frank disk of mp3s that I miss and can't replace...

I've read conflicting accounts - some say that the entire band were tripping during that "OM" session, some say it was only the horn players (Trane, Pharoah Sanders, Donald Garrett), and some say it was actually during the "Live In Seattle" concert, one day previously. Whichever the case, there are indeed little bits and phrases in that Coltrane solo that sound more wiggly than usual!

(way off topic)

a Joe Frank disk of mp3s that I miss and can't replace...

THAT BIIITCH [in a bitter grating tone of voice]

I'd love to hear that disk. Did you have the one where he reads the soliloquy from Macbeth? It's real "deep", man.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

BTW, Live in Seattle sounds like a great record. I've really been enjoying Journey To The One lately.
