Stunning drumming in this tribute to Coltrane, recorded live at Slugs' Saloon, a legendary club in New York (Sun Ra had a famous stint there, documented in John Szwed's excellent biography of Ra). Jimmy Hopps on drums sounds a little like Elvin Jones, but with a little of Rashied or Muhammad Ali, and it's all fantastic. Stanley Cowell, on the other hand, really does sound like McCoy Tyner, but that's okay.
