Coltrane on the High Line
Oct 06, 2022, 01:29 PM
The High Line in New York is one of the world’s best-known urban transformations, and has taken an abandoned section of railroad and turned it into a major global tourist attraction and a valuable green space for the citizens of Manhattan - surely of the best examples of how to think of adding to the health of a city. In this recording, a busker performs a piece by John Coltrane in one of the reverb-filled covered areas that contains local traders and coffee stalls. Outside, in the background, New York buzzes.
