JOHN COLTRANE
On March 6, 1963, the John Coltrane Quartet cut an album’s worth of new music at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio. In the summer of 2018, that music was released at last. With help from Ravi Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Trane scholar Lewis Porter, and others, Michael J. West got the inside story on Both Directions at Once, why it took so long to reach our ears, and what other “lost” Coltrane recordings are still out there

BETTY DAVIS
For a brief period (1967 to 1969), she was Miles’ partner, muse, and key artistic influence. Some say she came up with the title Bitches Brew. But an eye-opening new documentary suggests that Davis’ greatest cultural significance may actually lie in the music she made post-Miles. Natalie Weiner argues that we’re only starting now to get hip to what this nasty gal was doing 45 years ago.
