Today is a equinox day. An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the center of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth's equator. The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long. It may be better understood to mean that latitudes +L and -L north and south of the Equator experience nights of equal length.
The tune "Equinox" is a jazz standard by John Coltrane. It was originally released on Coltrane's Sound 1960. It has been covered by Jessica Williams, Dave Valentin, Rhoda Scott, Hubert Laws, the last three feature the flute. The Band Clutch has also covered the song, it appears on their 2003 release Slow Hole to China: Rare and Unreleased witch is the version i will choose for today, enjoy!
Live at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto ON. April 2004.
