Alabama (John Coltrane song)
"Alabama" is a composition written by John Coltrane that appears on his album Live at Birdland (1963). It was written in response to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing on September 15, 1963, an attack by the Ku Klux Klan in Birmingham, Alabama that killed four African-American girls.[1][2]
Coltrane's quartet performed this piece on television for an episode of Jazz Casual in 1963.
"Alabama" was performed on the 2016 Jack DeJohnette album In Movement with two musicians whose fathers played on the original version: bassist Matthew Garrison and saxophonist Ravi Coltrane.

gollark: That *would* still require them to manually go over them in every category, and there are a lot of categories and subcategories. It would be nice if they actually explained what "amazon's choice" means, though, and had a separate one for "known good" stuff
gollark: They have quite a lot of categories, though. I suppose for broader ones they could probably have a few featured products, perhaps with video reviews and extra docs and stuff.
gollark: Especially locks and stuff, where telling if it's bad is hard.
gollark: I don't think you could reasonably expect them to have specialists review every (popular) product in every category to find good ones.
gollark: I bet they just pick those at random.
