What we’re listening to today — In a Sentimental Mood

Apologies for the radio silence — we’ve been moving the MFL world headquarters to new digs and as anyone who has moved recently (or ever) knows: it’s a time consuming PITA.

The first is by the great John Coltrane accompanied by Ellington himself from their wonderful eponymous album:

And the second is by Coltrane’s nearest rival on the tenor sax, Sonny Rollins along with the Modern Jazz Quartet:
