Music Friyay: John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, Phoebe Bridgers, Big Thief

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman - Self-Titled (1963)

This collaboration between Hartman and Coltrane is absolutely perfect and a perfect fit for these classics. Coltrane’s sax and Hartman’s voice, joined by McCoy Tyner’s piano, Jimmy Garrison’s double bass, and Elvin Jones’ drums, are a dream.

Phoebe Bridgers - “Garden Song”

The latest gem from Bridgers - which should be your new anthem.

Big Thief - Capacity

This 2017 album is raw, tender, and melodic.
