Hi Doug, been listening, not typing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
The mouthpiece story doesn't go into deep depth. The real story is that Trane had horrible dental problems that made it excruciating to play. He tried to have his mouthpiece adjusted to relieve the pain, and the mouthpiece was ruined.

I have always thought of Trane's record with Johnny Hartman and his recordings with Duke Ellington as his avant garde period.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:46am JtotheK:

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:48am Uncle Michael:

That makes more sense, Doug. How was the mouthpiece problem solved?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50am Doug Schulkind:

I'm pretty sure the story is that Coltrane just learned to live with the pain and played on with a substandard mouthpiece.

The story is that Trane was embarrassed by the damage heroin had done to his teeth and got a bridge, which interfered with his embouchure -- he got his mouthpiece messed up adjusting for that.
