    "comment": "On November 18, 1963, two months after Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral oration, Coltrane recorded “Alabama,” a musical tribute to the four girls killed in Birmingham. The session occurred just days before President Kennedy’s assassination, a tumultuous moment in U.S. history. Pianist McCoy Tyner explained that Coltrane drew the song’s rhythms from King’s speech: “John took the rhythmic patterns of his speech and came up with ‘Alabama.’” Without lyrics, Coltrane conveyed the grief and resolve of King’s words—opening and closing with sorrow, while the middle reflects determination against racial violence. Released on Live at Birdland on January 9, 1964, “Alabama” remains one of Coltrane’s most emotional works.",
