naima by john coltrane: eleven versions of this wonderful ballad recorded in different line-ups between 1959 and 1966
john coltrane wrote this tune in 1959 for his first wife juanita "naima" grubbs and recorded it the same year for his groundbreaking album giant steps. in the following years this composition was a constant part of his live-set. for your listening pleasure i gathered together eleven versions of naima i found in my collection, choosing from more than twenty performances of the tune.
from the first demo recording in march 1959 throughout the years with the classic quartet up to one of the last performances john coltrane executed in november 1966 before his untimely death on the 17th of july 1967 you can hear that this tune obviously was always very close to his heart. and by the way: for a lot of reasons i did not include the very well known version from the 2nd of december 1959.

the hawthorne improvisation collective was/is an improvizing collective unit of houston based artists roundabouted by mike switzer and charlie naked, badly disguisedered as charlie horshack on these=here recordings. for your listening pleasure i unearthed two of the cd-rs they released using the name avijit and sent out all over the world in 2001 (and that was including me for a lot of reasons) and that can neither be found on their bandcamp pages nor on their discogs pages. loud and uncleared noisings from way beyond, and nobody knows if it really happened.
