"Live at Birdland" is a 1963 album by jazz musician John Coltrane. Despite its title, only the first three tracks were recorded live at the Birdland club, the rest were studio tracks. Among the studio tracks is "Alabama" a tribute to three children murdered in an Alabama church by white supremecists. The album's original pressing accidentally included a false start - this was corrected in later copies, but some listeners prefer the original pressing, which adds further drama to the song. The album also features a live recording of "I Want to Talk About You," a song Coltrane had recorded on his 1958 album "Soultrane", this time with a famous extended coda, lasting nearly as long as the rest of the song.
