	Blue John Cavern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until recently the precious mineral "Blue John" or "Derbyshire Spar" was mined from this cave.
		Blue John is a blue streaked type of fluorite found nowhere else in the world other than this cave and the nearby Treak Cliff Cavern.
		In the late 18th century a small local industry was centred on turning vases of Blue John, which might be mounted with ormolu as chimneypiece garnitures.

	Exit Mr. Blue — Bruce Bentzman
		John, forever the stoic gentleman, except when he played the piano or the violin, bid her farewell and wished her all the happiness she wanted in the arms of Arnold Benjamin, a lawyer with a passion for partying.
		John told her it would be impossible, but convinced her to be satisfied with the alternative of a long cable on her bedroom telephone that would reach the bathroom.
		The room John selected was pastel green and furnished with a full bed, a cedar chest at the foot of the bed, a seven drawer dresser with a mirror behind it, a tall eight drawer chest on legs, a night stand, a desk with chair, and bookshelves, all of the same dark stained cherry veneer.

		John takes on Blue’s legal defense when he appears to have none, and does an excellent job of portraying a lay person trying to act as an attorney.
		John presses, and the General agrees that, in fact, it is more likely that it was his son who attacked the girl, just as Blue said, and that his death was an accident that occurred when Blue tried to stop him.

		The only album John Coltrane recorded for Blue Note as a leader turned out to be one of his most rewarding statements, not to mention a highlight of Blue Note's recording history.
		The opening blues of the title track shows just how far Coltrane had come since he began his first stint with Miles two years earlier.
		Even the simplest of blues structures provided enough room for Coltrane's harmonic curiosity, his searing emotional flurries, and his "sheets of sound" approach.

		Assembled in 1992, this Blue Note CD should not be confused with an Atlantic release titled The Art of John Coltrane: The Atlantic Years.
		Coltrane is heard as a sideman on all of the other selections, which come from other artists' Blue Note sessions.
		Although not essential, this enjoyable disc demonstrates that the saxophonist was a distinctive, open-minded risk-taker before he signed with Atlantic and became one of the leaders of modal post-bop.

	NPR : John Coltrane: 'Blue Train'
		NPR.org, September 1, 2000 · MURRAY HORWITZ, American Film Institute: If the name John Coltrane is mysterious to you or conjures up thoughts of mysterious music, you should get a hold of this for your Basic Jazz Record Library.
		All of a sudden John Coltrane was able to take one or two ideas during the course of a solo and evolve those -- a fantastic musical development.
		He was not often thought of that way because he is noted for such loud, strong, cutting edge solos, but he loved to just relax into a ballad and just sing to you.
