June 5 - Naima

Today's song is the final literary moment for now. Norwegian author Torgrim Eggen (who also used to play bass in The Cut, whose song In Dieser Stadt already has been featured as song of the day) wrote a book called Hilal in 1996 about a Norwegian boy who liked a Pakistani immigrant girl. Her name was Naima, and the main character will from time to time riff on John Coltrane's tune of that very name from the Giant Steps album. In my book, any excuse to play some Coltrane is a good excuse, so for a nice Sunday tune, here is Naima.
