My high school chemistry teacher Marvin Perry at Orleans American High School took me and another student to this concert at the Olympia Theatre in Paris. Will never forget it.
i am 85 yrs. old born in PHILADELPHIA which is also COLTRANES home town and i got to see him perform at the SHOWBOAT on LOMBARD STREET many times in the late 1950's and early 60's. I have his first pressing of BLUE TRANE . I think he was put on earth to bring joy and peace thru his music. just listen to LUSH LIFE, BLUE TRANE and GIANT STEPS and you will know what I mean.
good evening I like Trane's music. having a first pressing is like a treasure. highly sought after. I saw Miles but too young for Coltrane only 64 years old...
I AGREE WITH YOU - HE HAS BEEN MY MUSICAL HERO SINCE 1959 - being an "old man", I had the pleasure of seeing Coltrane in person with his quartet in the early 60's during the "Great L.A. Jazz Scene" of the early 60's - "KEEP ENJOYING THE SOUNDS OF JAZZ" (especially Coltrane)
Miles was too full of himself .. he could hardly bear John, who rightly stole his show in the concerts. In fact, he replaced it with Wayne Shorter and for John maybe it was good for his music.
@@mariolongo7369 Mario, you are full of shit, ,Miles was the leader. Trane was beautiful, but do not take away from Miles. Jazz is not a competition.There is no better!!!
You are the man, Miles Dewey Davis lll, I have been enjoying you since my teenage days, and I still enjoy you now at 73 yrs. old. Your music will last forever... thanks
Given you wrote your comment 3 yrs ago, we are probably the same age. Yes, we were born in the "best of times." There were great cars, amazing and creative music--from folk to rock to Be-Bop--and kids our age everywhere.
Great musicians, pure music. Miles Davis is unique, the fifthies and sixties produced the best music ever. To be confined at home in a quarantine, working and listening this kind of music is a real privilege.
@@lastknowngood0 -- Me too. There was a strip club next door....and Molfeta's Greek Restaurant on 8th....The Age of Gold.....Cheers from Acapulco....age 78!
I listened to Miles Davis for a week and then decided I really wanted to play trumpet, I walked into a charity shop and they had a trumpet for sale. I bought it. It's really hard work. If you think the playing is impressive. try blowing hard for two minutes. Playing for an hour is hardcore.
It's funny you say that because I watched 👀 a video of Pelè, then saw a football ⚽️ in the street and after practicing for a week, managed to break my neighbours window.....had same problem after watching Mike Tyson, got the 💩 kicked outta me by no other than Pelè....strange world😂😂
They set the blueprint for jazz musicians forever although there will never ever be a MILES OR TRANE AGAIN THEY LEFT ENOUGH FOR THE MUSICIANS OF TODAY TO FOLLOW!
je viens de perdre mon oncle cette nuit étant fils unique il a était mon frère de substitution 😢et la j'ai beaucoup de peine écouter miles & john me rassure pour les jours prochains
I had the great privilege of hearing these guys on tour in the spring of 1960 in Frankfurt, Germany. The group also included Cannonball Adderley. I had front row seats. I remember Miles getting upset with Coltrane during one of his wild improvisations and nudging him off with his trumpet. Crazy! Fantastic performance by all...………...
My fav drummer. Last time with Jimmy Cobb was Indianapolis 2000 meet of the International Society of Bassists. Was occasion for special gathering of the "Bassists of Bill Evans" -- Chuck Israels, Eddie Gomez, Marc Johnson, (forgetting who pianist was) and Jimmy Cobb on drums and wearing his NY Yankees cap.
It's a kind of trade-off. Back then, things were rough but better than today in many small ways. Today, things are much better in many ways. But, also, tougher in other ways. This is timeless.
One thing I love about Miles Davis is that he never chose sidemen for his bands ... he was always looking for musicians that have a different musical vision than himself
Miles Davis is partially responsible for the development of Coltrane, because he rarely told him what to play, in fact it was Miles Davis who gave John Coltrane his first soprano saxophone.
@@TvDaddyAndTheTabloidArmy Who are you to judge what a terrible choice is? What terrible choices have you made because no one knows your name across the planet, Miles is immortal and revered across the planet forever..
Being the youngest member of the quintet, 24-year old Paul is just everything that makes a perfect bass man: Just by giving the perfect grounding the two gods can shine even brighter. As radiant as John and Miles are, never forget the great genius that held the sky for them!
So right ... if I remember correctly John Coltrane somewhere said what a privilege it was to play with Paul Chambers ... with Chambers in the band he could play anything, whatever, and it would always sound great ... I tried to google the quote but couldnt find it ... should be in the liner notes of some album rotting in some box I never open anymore because it is so easy to listen here instead ...
I am here to learn, I am very ignorant on many things. I just know that this music sounds fantastic, magical and it really has the power to take me far into the sky. Big compliments to everyone in this rare community.
8:35 HOLY SMOKES! Hendrix-level distorted multiphonics from Coltrane for the last 60 second finale of an incredibly building, searching solo. Whew! The crowd loves it!! Can't believe I just heard that! 1960!!!??!

Every solo Trane pushes the edge more and more, and every time he comes back to the head he advances it harmonically, genius ! The rhythm section and Miles follow suit. By the time they get to Oleo it is pure exploration.This is jazz history. Just my humble opinion
I agree. It reminds me of how five years later Wayne Shorter, though a different style player, was walking on the edge--and sometimes putting a foot over the edge--in the Plugged Nickle recordings. Great music in both live settings. 🙂👍🏼🤙🏽
Follow up to my earlier 'comment': Miles Davis 5tet at the Olympia (Paris) 1960. Near the end of this concert, some 'fans' sitting down front by the stage threw objects toward the stage. The thin see-thru curtains were closing, musicians were still on stage, and then the heavier curtains closed. Mr. Perry, my teacher who brought me to this show from Orleans, 70 miles south of Paris, explained this untoward behavior with the comment, "some evidently did not like Miles Davis turning his back to the audience." During my time in France (1959-1965) saw Coltrane 4tet and Monk 4tet at the Olympia; also Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour and Gilbert Becaud. Great venue for music no doubt.
While the world increases its conflicts...its good to come home and chill and explore Jazz with this classic Miles band. And with all of you of all races. Jazz is universal and a unifier. My uncle introduced me to Jazz at 13. In all its variations. It was like a college course. He told me that jazz lovers have a higher intelligence and can follow and interpret the music. I found out that that was factual, by various studies by academics. I raise and tip my drink to all assembled here for this legendary set.
Concordo il jazz è una musica mondiale profonda che unisce i popoli per me il jazz è il futuro non è finita per niente questi eroi lo sapevano profondamente per questo ha resistito… avevano un compito importante.. chi studia questa musica ha uno strumento il più per capire la vita

Prior to the 20th Century, there was no such thing as Jazz. The great African American contribution to the world, admired by musicians and music lovers everywhere.
And then these artists had to return to the usa where they were no longer treated as equals but 2nd class citizens....a horrible indelible mark on America's history. Relegated as headliners to side doors and back entrances and then Miles the headliner getting arrested and battered by police for hanging outside a club where only whites were allowed. WTF.
The 50 Best Jazz Saxophonists Of All Time The saxophone remains an iconic instrument in jazz, mastered by many musical geniuses. uDiscover Music celebrates the 50 best jazz saxophonists of all time. By Charles Waring "John Coltrane (1926-1967) Coltrane rewrote the book on tenor saxophone playing and also helped to popularise the soprano version of the instrument. Starting out as a bar-walking blues player, he emerged as the most significant jazz saxophonist after Charlie Parker." www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/50-best-jazz-saxophonists/
I dreamed that they discovered a time machine ... and it would be so spectacular to see these geniuses in Paris. I envy every person who attended this concert.
with a quantum molecule cell displacement chamber any thing is possible.cells can be completely reformed in another time zone top scientists know this but its a one way trip ..
I was there, with my father in his days. Quite a shock to hear Trane live for the first time! He divided the audience. Dead supportive (my father and I) and stubbornly hostile (some prominent jazz critics at this time) History vindicated him!
This Olympia Live Concert got me deep into jazz, together with the one from Art Blakey the same Year. Incredible atmospheric recording, which greatly adds to the overall vibe and the really top notch performances here.
Just found this by accident; how lucky can you get? In the early 60s, we still had a few small clubs with all the greats dropping by...lucky me, my parents babysat our kids so we wouldn't miss out. There is nothing like a small club, where you can actually see the musicians, no one is yelling or trying to singing their "favorite" song. You can tell I'm old, ha, ha.
For those who haven't played jazz, this is about as incredible as it gets. It may sound like a lot of "noodling" and blue notes thrown in, but the level these guys are going to only sounds deceptively easy or abstract, they are Intentionally all over the place, because that is what it took to rise above and make something this beautiful and complex. This is pure genius. And all first takes, live in concert? THAT is how good these guys are. For that era, and for a live show, the audio is INCREDIBLY clear, so a giant 'thank you' to whoever recorded, mixed, and produced this!
My most favorite jazz tune is In A Sentimental Mood with John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. Whenever I hear it, I get still, and I think about everything in my life that I hold precious and dear. Thank you John and Miles, for leaving us this beautiful legacy of love.
I'm teaching English for Summer School and they are reading Concrete Cowboy. The main character is named after Coltrane and none of them had ever heard him before. Playing this during their writing portion of class. They are actually digging it.
I was a young guy in my early 20's married,with one child,i started ,playing in JR. High,the baritone horn,but really wanted the Sax,my Pop had played also,but i had never heard him.But i did Hear Coltrane,and MAN I WENT OUT, And bought a used Sax,hahaha from the pawn shop, mistake could'nt toon the raskel.😁 I finally got a good Selma Sax ,and Man ,i practiced,every day,even when we went to get groceries,i was in our Van,playing. I'm 81now and my ,gusto for the sax has waned,a bit,i am ,thank God Still,healthy enuff to play,but my enthusiasim,has slowed,snd now i make canes,Lol.But i do still love that Sax ,the wife has passed, and she actually would Commit on Somthing i played. I remember one day i was pacticing,for a tune the band was going to play,and as i finished,she said to me,could you play that again,it made my Heart,go all, Soft,WOW. CAN'T Remember the Tune,but i remember the way it made me🤔🧐 FEEL, Thanks for Reading.And remember VOTE BLUE,DO NOT BE A FOOL,ONE OF THE MOST IMportent,VOTES OF OUR LIVES.DICTATORSHIP ,IS NOT GOOD. J C. IS OUTTA HERE.GOOOO ,BLUE ,,!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound on this recording is superb. It is clear, full-range, and natural (not over produced like today's recordings). This means the musicianship had to be spot on.
Monster talent supreme, ... the baddest of the bad-asses !!! R.I.P. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb, Wynton Kelly, and Paul Chambers. .. Thank You !!
He and I arrived to Earth a few decades after each other. I did not think I would find him. As it was he left this planet three years before I discovered his legacy.
Coltrane always puts me in another world. I like Miles, but Coltrane just does it for me like no one else. He's always pulling from this spiritual realm with his playing
I'm 64, borne in 1960 The Quintessential lost art will go away like egyptian hieroglyphics paintings with me and my kind until I or we come back. you had to be there. Its goog to be the King in the end.
@@bronxbassist yes it is. It’s definitely more prevalent in the people who are working on something. Having a sense of ‘vision’ while also figuring it out on the spot. Coltrane had all that and some....
I see that I am coming up on an ad... Gotta go. I remember You Tube when "they" were still new and didn't have swollen heads-- You could listen to a whole album while you were in the shower (like it used to be with a nice stereo and LP's!)... Shoot, I remember up until about 6 or 7 years ago still being able to listen to Kinda Blue every day WITHOUT THE INTERUPTIONS!
The master is in HIS house. This the gift of the lord to Trane, and the blessing to those who are enlightened enough, to let themselves be enlightened by the divine message in the musical voice. Coltrane was no accident. He was a musical messenger and prophet given to us by the lord at a specific time in history, for a specific reason, and carrying a specific musical message. Divine things such as this never age. They remain as always relavant and as essential as the gospels, and the recital.
Religion is a dead end ... no answers there ... just another scam. FYI Coltrane, for all his genius, was, like Miles, a heroin addict. Not a great finish
@@MrJMayer123 "These prophets spoke to me in the womb, spoke to me through suffering, speak to me now of God, of Good." I call BS - do you have a recording of all of this talking / speaking? Put up or shut up!
the greatest jazz trumpet players of all time. number 1 CLIFFORD BROWN, number 2 LEE MORGAN, number 3 DIZZY, number 4 MILES in that order. i have seen them all.
Honesty prevails in this gathering in Paris. Miles is at his best hosting the greatest and most inventive ando rythmically complex sax player. he is like the relentless current of a river.
On the tune "so what " trane couldn't hold back. New music was bursting inside him. Miles wanted to keep trane for this tour and trane was excited to get back and work on his new sound that was uniquely his. Before he was between bird and a couple of others. He found a voice his horn and his sound and wanted to strike up a small group to express and develop what was emanating in his soul. In this set trane put it out there and the audience loved it. He knew that he was definitely onto a new type jazz genre,so to speak. I loved his new style and practiced it often.

I was born in 1973 and sometimes I think that during pregnancy I heard these guys. I feel so good with this songs.
You are not alone. I was born in 1973 as well and have the same feeling
This might be the greatest musical document of the twentieth century.
@ Jason Finch : Might be?
It's certainly one of them!

Thank you
Coltrane in supreme inspiration here... wow, it is a huge, powerful musical force...
Miles proved more in 4 mins than coltrane ever did in 7
@@eddiemperor Nobody agrees with you, Ludwig.
Prior to the 20th Century, there was no such thing as Jazz. The great African American contribution to the world, admired by musicians and music lovers everywhere.
Etymologically true. Practically, not, unless u exclude Blues and Ragtime from the scope of jazz. Many don't.
And then these artists had to return to the usa where they were no longer treated as equals but 2nd class citizens....a horrible indelible mark on America's history. Relegated as headliners to side doors and back entrances and then Miles the headliner getting arrested and battered by police for hanging outside a club where only whites were allowed. WTF.
Coltrane improvisational skills are impeccable
Percy Timberlake Just my opinion, but I think the rest of the ansamble bent around him....
like space-time?
@@danielryan9076 As they should imo. Coltrane is doing lines such that the rest of the band would be stupid not to emphasize it
The 50 Best Jazz Saxophonists Of All Time
The saxophone remains an iconic instrument in jazz, mastered by many musical geniuses. uDiscover Music celebrates the 50 best jazz saxophonists of all time.
By Charles Waring
"John Coltrane (1926-1967)
Coltrane rewrote the book on tenor saxophone playing and also helped to popularise the soprano version of the instrument. Starting out as a bar-walking blues player, he emerged as the most significant jazz saxophonist after Charlie Parker."
www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/50-best-jazz-saxophonists/
This is American classical music...music at its most creative and finest! Yes!!!
Beyond just being 'American'. Kind of Blue always reminds me of my hometown, London. Then he throws in 'Spanish' style in Flamenco Sketches ;-))
The music says all that needs to be said. These men and their incredible gifts were sent by God as a blessing to us all
jimmy cobb is hell of a drummer
Philly was way better
so what?
@@A.ChristopherJohnson Nevertheless, together with PC, he fits best with Coltrane in this band.
I have yet to hear a record with Jimmy Wynton and Paul that I don't like.
Machine gun 🥁.
I dreamed that they discovered a time machine ... and it would be so spectacular to see these geniuses in Paris.
I envy every person who attended this concert.
Rui Garcia couldn't agree more, sir
Agreed, This whole tour was something else.
give me 50 grand ill get you to your destination time travel is possible but it cost money mate..
with a quantum molecule cell displacement chamber any thing is possible.cells can be completely reformed in another time zone top scientists know this but its a one way trip ..
I was there, with my father in his days. Quite a shock to hear Trane live for the first time! He divided the audience. Dead supportive (my father and I) and stubbornly hostile (some prominent jazz critics at this time) History vindicated him!
This Olympia Live Concert got me deep into jazz, together with the one from Art Blakey the same Year. Incredible atmospheric recording, which greatly adds to the overall vibe and the really top notch performances here.
i just heard this first time wow
You will never be the same
I am very fortunate and thankful to be among the happy few who enjoy this music. May The Almighty Lord bless you all 🙏🏾
Just found this by accident; how lucky can you get? In the early 60s, we still had a few small clubs with all the greats dropping by...lucky me, my parents babysat our kids so we wouldn't miss out. There is nothing like a small club, where you can actually see the musicians, no one is yelling or trying to singing their "favorite" song. You can tell I'm old, ha, ha.
I saw Coltrane in a small club on the Sunset Strip in the early 1960s when I was a teenager.
Wynton Kelly’s comping was a huge part of why this group was so deeply swinging. Astounding!
Indeed, we mustn't underestimate Wynton, great solos in the shadow such huge giants, Coltrane an impossible act to follow!
And you could hear that he was inspired by his band mates and was exploring as well
For those who haven't played jazz, this is about as incredible as it gets. It may sound like a lot of "noodling" and blue notes thrown in, but the level these guys are going to only sounds deceptively easy or abstract, they are Intentionally all over the place, because that is what it took to rise above and make something this beautiful and complex. This is pure genius. And all first takes, live in concert? THAT is how good these guys are. For that era, and for a live show, the audio is INCREDIBLY clear, so a giant 'thank you' to whoever recorded, mixed, and produced this!
"It doesn't have to 'sound' right, if I play it, it Is right."
83 years old and hearing this again for the first time in 20+ years, thank you GOD!!!
Enjoy it!
So well said Pal
My most favorite jazz tune is In A Sentimental Mood with John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. Whenever I hear it, I get still, and I think about everything in my life that I hold precious and dear. Thank you John and Miles, for leaving us this beautiful legacy of love.
now this is what i call jazz...pure magic..love it
Laying in my bed on a Sun day morning listening to this...whew!!!
Tuesday the 9th July 2024 im here and listening to this amazing feel from theses masters.
U can't create these kind of flawless sounds without...endless discipline!
DANKE!!
My goodness, this Coltrane guy can play!
We’re blessed to have these recordings and an app where we can listen to them.
You got that right, since this the highest form of communication.
I'm teaching English for Summer School and they are reading Concrete Cowboy. The main character is named after Coltrane and none of them had ever heard him before. Playing this during their writing portion of class. They are actually digging it.
I was a young guy in my early 20's married,with one child,i started ,playing in JR. High,the baritone horn,but really wanted the Sax,my Pop had played also,but i had never heard him.But i did Hear Coltrane,and MAN I WENT OUT, And bought a used Sax,hahaha from the pawn shop, mistake could'nt toon the raskel.😁 I finally got a good Selma Sax ,and Man ,i practiced,every day,even when we went to get groceries,i was in our Van,playing. I'm 81now and my ,gusto for the sax has waned,a bit,i am ,thank God Still,healthy enuff to play,but my enthusiasim,has slowed,snd now i make canes,Lol.But i do still love that Sax ,the wife has passed, and she actually would Commit on Somthing i played. I remember one day i was pacticing,for a tune the band was going to play,and as i finished,she said to me,could you play that again,it made my Heart,go all, Soft,WOW. CAN'T Remember the Tune,but i remember the way it made me🤔🧐 FEEL, Thanks for Reading.And remember VOTE BLUE,DO NOT BE A FOOL,ONE OF THE MOST IMportent,VOTES OF OUR LIVES.DICTATORSHIP ,IS NOT GOOD. J C. IS OUTTA HERE.GOOOO ,BLUE ,,!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound on this recording is superb. It is clear, full-range, and natural (not over produced like today's recordings). This means the musicianship had to be spot on.
This music speaks to us , it's a universal language that keeps our mind heart and soul!!!
And I raise my drink and nod to this comment.
Coltrane paints brush strokes with his sax. Sound painting.
Coltrane's musical talent was unmatched.
... and remains unsurpassed for more than 5 decades since he's been gone.
I love how the piano player expands the melody into a story that he paints in his solo.
Monster talent supreme, ... the baddest of the bad-asses !!! R.I.P. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb, Wynton Kelly, and Paul Chambers. .. Thank You !!
The 1950's and early 1960's is the best - from these greats . Thank You .
Completely rare but amazing and blessed
John Coltrane was an alien from another Universe. He was just as unique there too. Remarkable.
Maybe we're all aliens and Mr Coltrane was the right person to be on this planet
@@intuneorange
Mind blown. You triggered a whole new universe with that comment.
He and I arrived to Earth a few decades after each other. I did not think I would find him. As it was he left this planet three years before I discovered his legacy.
The Dynamic Duo of Jazz! It’s still in the air, somewhere, everywhere.....
Can't go wrong with excellence
The who's who of Jazz legendary artists, the greatest music ever ✌❤
Coltrane always puts me in another world. I like Miles, but Coltrane just does it for me like no one else. He's always pulling from this spiritual realm with his playing
dig
Essa obra prima me leva para um plano superior
Queria ver Davis tocar aqui no Brasil
I'm 64, borne in 1960
The Quintessential lost art will go away like egyptian hieroglyphics paintings with me and my kind until I or we come back. you had to be there. Its goog to be the King in the end.
It's nice to enter the mellow section of YT sometimes. Thanks to all for making it so.
Born in 48 . Love this stuff .
This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards !!
Exactly what I was thinking! I just couldn't find the right words. Thanks Phillippe!
One of the greatest musicians of all time, Coltrane, accompanied by one of the greatest bassists in jazz history!!
Can´t get any better
Amazing to hear how Coltrane's first solo is reaching toward where his music would go in 6 years time with his album Ascension (1966).
I caught this big time!
@@ziton5063 Amazing how the fruits of our labor can be foreshadowed so far in advance. Or perhaps it's just Coltrane's magic! Lol
@@bronxbassist yes it is. It’s definitely more prevalent in the people who are working on something. Having a sense of ‘vision’ while also figuring it out on the spot. Coltrane had all that and some....
@@ziton5063 I agree with that completely. Coltrane had some extremely sharp vision
I was thinking the same thing.
I see that I am coming up on an ad... Gotta go. I remember You Tube when "they" were still new and didn't have swollen heads-- You could listen to a whole album while you were in the shower (like it used to be with a nice stereo and LP's!)... Shoot, I remember up until about 6 or 7 years ago still being able to listen to Kinda Blue every day WITHOUT THE INTERUPTIONS!
Love how Coltrane can speak the language of jazz with so many incredibly different dialects and technically awesome dialectal accents....
MUSIC has no language. You are just a tourist in Music.
''Language'' what a joke...
I totally disagree with you@@eddiemperor
Miles, Coltrane, Brubeck, Desmond Bill Evans ,Monk, Herbie Hancock all contributed to my Jazz education! and Lenny Breau!
The master is in HIS house. This the gift of the lord to Trane, and the blessing to those who are enlightened enough, to let themselves be enlightened by the divine message in the musical voice. Coltrane was no accident. He was a musical messenger and prophet given to us by the lord at a specific time in history, for a specific reason, and carrying a specific musical message. Divine things such as this never age. They remain as always relavant and as essential as the gospels, and the recital.
this is the gift of these talented musicians to US, people living in this planet.
Yes. Beautifully written. These prophets spoke to me in the womb, spoke to me through suffering, speak to me now of God, of Good.
There IS a Coltrane Church.
Religion is a dead end ... no answers there ... just another scam.
FYI Coltrane, for all his genius, was, like Miles, a heroin addict. Not a great finish
@@MrJMayer123 "These prophets spoke to me in the womb, spoke to me through suffering, speak to me now of God, of Good."
I call BS - do you have a recording of all of this talking / speaking?
Put up or shut up!
9:01 - 9:07 is the exact moment he morphed into another man altogether 💪🏿🎼🎺🎷👨🏿🦯🏃🏿♂️❤❤
Jazz Saxophone is John Coltrane....
Thanks for sharing this amazing concert
Man, they were popping on this date!
Masters at work
Sensational breathtaking invaluable archive....great curation.....The Age of Gold. BRAVI TUTTI from Acapulco!
That bass riff from So What is nothing short of a launching ramp to the stars
Timeless, thankful for the music that has been left for all of us to share and to enjoy
the greatest jazz trumpet players of all time. number 1 CLIFFORD BROWN, number 2 LEE MORGAN, number 3 DIZZY, number 4 MILES in that order. i have seen them all.
Miles and Coltrane?!!?
You gotta sit back and appreciate this classic collaboration. Magnificent share, thanks.
🇵🇷✊🏾
It's Monday May 12th 2024 at 6:30am and I'm loving this incredible music
This a "Delitiae Musicae".
Everyone of the musicians are a perfect master. Thanks to who upload this video. This is great 😃👍
Honesty prevails in this gathering in Paris. Miles is at his best hosting the greatest and most inventive ando rythmically complex sax player. he is like the relentless current of a river.
Well said. 'Nough said.
Miles and the band are blowing/playing their sit-downs off! YES!
On the tune "so what " trane couldn't hold back. New music was bursting inside him. Miles wanted to keep trane for this tour and trane was excited to get back and work on his new sound that was uniquely his. Before he was between bird and a couple of others. He found a voice his horn and his sound and wanted to strike up a small group to express and develop what was emanating in his soul. In this set trane put it out there and the audience loved it. He knew that he was definitely onto a new type jazz genre,so to speak. I loved his new style and practiced it often.
Interesting observation. Thanks.
Classic 🏆 legendary ✊🏿💯
i luv miles & john here
