When Dave Fry made an #nfcstumptheband request for this 17-minute psychedelic epic back in 2018, little did he know he'd help to inspire this yearly #StumpTheBandDoOver event. And as always, it promises to be intermittently Not Terrible, and definitely uncomfortably long.

TOMORROW (Tuesday)! Come with me, take my hand, and join us In The Garden Of Eden: The 2025 #coltranetuesdays #Looptober series is set to wrap up with the annual one-person performance of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," featuring far more instruments than is reasonable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cwp...

The #coltranetuesdays #Looptober series continues this week with a song that requires me to attempt to play one of the most iconic bass guitar breaks of all time - which I fully intend to render in my characteristic, under-rehearsed, "not terrible" style! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfk5...

For this week's #coltranetuesdays, we'll continue our #Looptober series with a reliable crowd-pleaser that's nonetheless a bit outside my usual wheelhouse. And then we'll see how far out things get when we play #nfcstumptheband.

We've gone quite a while without a new #coltranetuesdays episode, so we're starting back up again tomorrow (Tuesday) - just in time for #Looptober! See what kind of loopy shenanigans I get up to with an astronomically-inspired song, and then start your own shenanigans when we play #nfcstumptheband.

Bob Grover tribute show - #coltranetuesdaysredux (s2, ep26)

Not For Coltrane @notforcoltrane.com · Jun 3

Hey, everybody - the #coltranetuesdays show is going on a summer break for the next few weeks. My schedule is bonkers right now, and I can't quite keep up with posting (or re-posting) an episode each week. (1/2)

A closet-like door with colorful neckties hanging from it also has a handwritten sign taped to it, reading "On summer break." Superimposed on the photo are the words "#coltranetuesdays - most Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. - youtube.com/notforcoltrane - featuring the Not For Coltrane Stump-The-Band Game"

But I hope to be back next week, featuring a #coltranetuesdays episode from May 2020 that included a song that's very much of its late-90s era, plus an #nfcstumptheband attempt at rap (!). See you then!
