I love how you can hear Jimmy humming the solo to himself. It shows how insanely intentional each note is; always knowing exactly where he’s going to go even when he’s improvising.
Theres other things that are cool about it too. My jazz teachers always used to tell the percussion section to hum to themselves so that they can have good phrasing, because many beginners will go on forever and have few rests, if any at all, because they don't have to stop playing to breath like wind players. Humming to themselves makes it so they have to breath, and they have better phrasing in their solos.
This is easily my favorite jazz quartet of all time. Coltrane with his lightning fast tenor licks, Mccoy Tyner with his incredible solos, Elvin Jones' ride cymbal of justice, and Garrison's smooth bass lines.
Indeed, so underrated... He played this kind of solo before anyone else, and that tone is to die for. Rock solid. I've listened to this particular solo so many times that I can sing it, I may try to transcribe it on my double bass too (listening to Jimmy made me start double bass 8 years ago).
Tyner is unlike anyone else, his emphatic left hand and the bright sound of his articulations bring a real warm humanity to his often alien, strange chords and inhuman technical mastery
More like his absolutely ridiculous work ethic. Sure it's easy to look at players like this and say they were born with the natural ability to do so. When you put in the insane amount of practice time that Coltrane did you WILL end up a monster. Given you dont mindlessly noodle and think that's practice
I am taking a deeper dive on McCoy Tyner; uh.....holy crap his playing is just plain genius. nothing more to add to Coltrane's genius that hasn't already been said. But McCoy is mighty mighty.
I wish I lived in a time where I could talk about the music of all my favorite jazz legends with common folk. Instead, late nights in my bedroom by myself, trying to figure out why I love this music so much. John Coltrane is one of my best friends and I've never even met the guy and he never knew I exist
dont worry... its sad your comment...made me think.. but there are those of us who feel exactly the same as you ...i am a sax player of about fifty years of experience and 70 years now...I am here to look and learn and appreciate in wonderment and reading you post is very important to me..it struck a chord right here in my heart my friend..Coltrane does that to us ...love and peace to you..and music...
Thanks so much for posting this! It reminds me of the 1st time I heard the John Coltrane Quartet at the Village Gate (NYC) in 1962, playing this song. I heard him again at the Jazz Workshop in Boston in 1964 with Rashid Ali and Pharoah Sanders (augmenting the quartet) and Coltrane's sound and tone had undergone a major transformation.... as a result of a spiritual awakening. For the first set they played one song that lasted for one hour, it was an energized, meditative trance. I have read that "he believed not only in a universal musical structure that transcended ethnic distinctions, but in being able to harness the mystical language of music itself." This was very evident, because having the privilege of witnessing this set, it was a musical and spiritual experience of the deepest level..... for me and my friends.
Jimmy Garrison shows us what the bass is all about. Happy birthday up there, John, 93 today. This must be one of the best films of the Quartet. The close-ups are brilliant.
National Educational Television? Damn man this was the kind of stuff they were showing on educational television back in the day. That's awesome. It's appropriate though, I mean there's so many things to be learned from a performance like this. And it's very inspiring to say the least. Talk about an education
Laurie Savage yes, seems like they all died young. Guess the lifestyle they lived was toxic, but what a treasure they left us with !!!!! This thing called jazzzzzzz!!
No musician on the level of the greats like Trane and Bird and so many others can be imitated. This is something that African Americans don't relate to in words. We can play in their memory,but never in their likeness. This is spiritual music from the soul,so who can occupy the soul of another in their personal renditions. Just play from your own space and ability.The music is freely flowing from within your own ability and soul.Ponder!
Regardless of your ethnicity, you don't want to imitate any jazz player. If you play jazz or anything like it, you should develop your own style from the very beginning.
@@Steinbach1984 well thats just wrong. Every jazz musician ever imitated the masters before them and thats how they developed their style. Thats how Jazz (BAM) progresses. How are you supposed develop your own style if you dont study the source or imitate when you are young. Its like trying to learn a new language without hearing anyone actual speak it. Bird studied the masters before him like lester young and coleman hawkins to develop his style. Almost everyone who actually knows music would disagree with your statement.
@@bebopshulang To be inspired by someone isn't the same as trying to failthfully imitate (=copy) someone's style. If you play jazz, you'd better listen how Bird, Trane and other greats did it. But if you're going to play a solo, you shouldn't say "I'm going to play a solo in the style of Coltrane". Of course, your solo is likely to be influenced a lot by him because his influence is huge. But you don't even want to copy him.
This is brilliant. Coltrane steps back and showcases tyner and garrison, who are equally brilliant. Then as a finish, coltrane and jones take it somewhere else - maybe jazz heaven
one of the great benefits of the internet and youtube, being able to share in the privilege of hearing this group of master musicians.. this goes beyond where the spoken word can go, thank you.
As a trombone player at the age of 20 it gives me chills on just thinking on how amazing John Coltrane is and how people my age don't know who he was or what he did to change music. I am happy to have the privilege to understand the fundamentals of this genre of music and the different ties to vast genre's that branched off jazz.
It was no different for me. When I was 14, (1974) if I even said the word "Jazz" people would hold their noses and say it's "corny old square geezer music" I discovered Coltrane through one of my friends' older brother, and I was hooked. Trying to get anybody to even acknowledge that such a thing existed was like screaming my lungs out in a soundproof room. H.L. Mencken said "Nobody ever went broke from underestimating the stupidity of the American public". He was right.
I've been transcribing Coltrane's solo at the end and every phrase is so dense and brilliant. It made me think about the album Radiant Imprints by James Brandon Lewis and Chad Taylor, where the head for each tune is a Coltrane line. And they can make a song based off that one line. It totally makes sense now. Each line is so impactful.
There was a 6 month period in my life when I listened to this particular one every bit of free time I had. It was the only music that was speaking to me. And when I wasn't listening, it was playing in my head. If ever I was obsessed with some piece of music, this was it.
This is equivalent to classical music, so here there are no frontiers, no races, no languages... only celestial music, non stop improvisation. I understand this music from the moment that touch inside me, independent if I am black or white, American or illegal alien!
I don't hold a eurocentric standard or metric of excellence so in my view this is just great music, incomparable to the classical greats, of course, totally subjective.
@@theilluminedone7896 I couldn't disagree more vehemently. This music certainly IS comparable to the classical greats. In fact, I and many others would say that jazz is a form of American classical music. The music of Coltrane and Bird is just as profoundly excellent as that of Mozart and Handel. Both jazz and European classical music are spiritual and beautiful in their unique ways. But to each their own, I suppose.
Following up years later,this is a piece of art. He is a master of music and a musical preacher! Not just a “jazz classic” or a “jazz legend” he is a master and legend period!
I'm still as awestruck by these cats as I was the first hundred times I listened to them. I just now discovered that this genre of jazz is on UA-cam! It's amazing to actually see these guys create this! Can't wait to see more!
Being able to see this song in live like that is simply a blessing!!! John Coltrane... A Master And with McCoy, damn and that bass, too, wow Jimmy G. was preachin' 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌
When I grab my bass, I pray for the spirit of Mr. Garrison to infuse me with wisdom and mobility. I really do. Sometimes I feel it works. Not in any playing that resembles his complete mastery, but in playing that gives my local self complete joy in its own power. Thank you Jimmy! Thank you universe. It's personal, it's home, and it's a launching pad for my growth. Faith in communicatoin with those "not here", technically, but HERE so clealy personally and spiritually.
An incredible moment captured in time. Brilliant.
Saw this group 4 times each time was great I am 81 years old
Your truly blessed
A lucky man god bless
I am in awe. What a blessing!
What a life🎉
I'm jealous of you sir !!
Live footage of Coltrane is a treasure.
It should be considered heritage of the mankind.
yeah
So true
so true
So true
Everytime I think I found a new favorite jazz musician I remember John Coltrane exists
I love how you can hear Jimmy humming the solo to himself. It shows how insanely intentional each note is; always knowing exactly where he’s going to go even when he’s improvising.
Bro you nailed it. The correct perceived notion of the event he played.
Breathing it into being
Well put!

Coltrane was one of God's Chosen Soul Messengers...anointed with no peers.
Coltrane single-handedly changed the genre of jazz and worked hard to cultivate his talent! 11:33
His passion was unmatched. He's my number one.

McCoy Tyner SNAPPED on this track tho whatttt 🥵👌🏾
This man John Coltrane has saved my life, I would do anything to have witness a great like him…. Love you Mr. Coltrane
Yes,i agree.Same thing for me,Coltrane is immortal
Check out My favorite things. A masterpiece.
❤@@andregallileibalangock2378Trane had saved my life too!! I treasure his recordings, with Miles Davis
Best jazz quartet ever. Garrison tells a beautiful story on his bass...
Would you even say better then Miles Davis, Wynton Kelly, Jimmy Cobb and Paul Chambers.
@@waynejohanson1083 Not better , different.
Chick out Mr. Garrison’s left hand: Specially made for that Instrument.
@@waynejohanson1083 yes.
Elvin Jones is LEGENDARY
Such controlled intensity...
A whole course of study could be built around this performance.
Jimmy Garrison is an incredibly underrated bassist. That solo, god damn, one of the best live solos I've heard in a while.
You should see Stanley Clarke play live. He can solo and play the bass as a percussive instrument. saw him live at the Blue Note in NYC. check him out
mike FRIED I sure will.
amen, brother.
Indeed, so underrated... He played this kind of solo before anyone else, and that tone is to die for. Rock solid. I've listened to this particular solo so many times that I can sing it, I may try to transcribe it on my double bass too (listening to Jimmy made me start double bass 8 years ago).
👴🏻 I WEAR A BRA AND PANTIES AND I WALK FUNNY.
In my opinion this is and always be the greatest era of Jazz!💯
Let's make a new greatest era of Jazz - together ! ! !
Tyner is unlike anyone else, his emphatic left hand and the bright sound of his articulations bring a real warm humanity to his often alien, strange chords and inhuman technical mastery
well put - alien chords that are so abstract yet so cool and appropriate
Coltrane's talent is terrifying
Costas Bakopoulos - .....and utterly stultifying at times.... I mean my god man have some mercy on us.
Well I mean the man would practice like 16 hours a day so that has something to do with it!
It’s not talent...
Genius
More like his absolutely ridiculous work ethic. Sure it's easy to look at players like this and say they were born with the natural ability to do so. When you put in the insane amount of practice time that Coltrane did you WILL end up a monster. Given you dont mindlessly noodle and think that's practice
Jazz, America's contribution to classical music. Tyner always leaves me astonished.
I am taking a deeper dive on McCoy Tyner; uh.....holy crap his playing is just plain genius. nothing more to add to Coltrane's genius that hasn't already been said. But McCoy is mighty mighty.
THIS MAKES ME PROUD TO BE A HUMAN BEING.
McCoy's solo is so sweet... in and out of time and smokin'!
+Keith Bickerstaffe True Dat!
Effortlessly
4th's comping takes me to dreamland...
that comping is excellent.
That's why I call him "The Real McCoy".

+Totally Tubular Bro, that's a brave share. It's gotta be true for anything outside mainstream music.
