"Practiced like a man with no talent , and he had all talent of the world."
Reading about Duane Allman is what got me into Coltrane. He (Coltrane) was an absolute genius! Discovering him is like opening the door to another world of music.
I was turned on to Trane in '63 by a drummer friend of mine. Immediately was drawn in & never left. Saw him numerous times at the Jazz Workshop in SF from the doorway as we weren't old enough to get in. We'd get there early, wait for the cab to bring the musicians, Trane recognized us from being there night after night. I grew up in the East Bay. The music was off the charts in intensity...sometimes you'd have to walk away. A couple times we'd have a short conversation. Love Paco as well.
The Quartet !!!!!...Elvin,McCoy, Jimmy, Trane.!!!..Changed my life!!!,,For the better!!!
Yes Coltrane is a saint.
..when you are out there.. watching yourself play..
Just by listening to Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Charles Gayle, Albert Ayler, Milford Graves, Sunny Murray and all the rest of the saints.. it will take You to your own path, too. Although you are already there.. ;)
Jaakko Kuikka 🤲🏻🙏🏻 and Ms. Alice Coltrane!
Yeah I loved that quote! I’ve had that astral experience with his bands . It was scary but knowing Trane was there and would always be there was comforting . A true saint , too many people will just not give his far out music time and energy to really know what’s “ out there “
John Coltrane - Wise one
Brains and eggs...a winning recipe for any jazz aficionado 👌- very cool video 🔥
Coltrane is a role model for all professional musicians regardless what music style advocating #MakingMusicIsAProfession. Respect!
My favorite jazz artist
Terrific!
Coltrane truly derives to be called a saint.
El unico. El amor hacia los humanos a traves de la musica y por toda la eternidad
I was sad to watch this programme end,I throughly hung on every word and loved it! and cant wait for "Chasing Trane" to be released on DVD this year (2017) thanks so much for posting this!
Thank you so much for posting this. I saw it on BBC TV when it was first made in 2004 and haven't seen it since. What a treat.
Excellent. Thank you for posting. May we all find 'A Love Supreme'! Om shanti 🙏💓✨🎶
Binocs and the stars are win. Globular clusters, stars being born in Orion's sword, red giants and blue-white stars, there's a whole lot of things to be seen with a good pair of binocs and not to mention a hell of a lot more comets and just plain weird stuff than I thought I'd ever see in my lifetime. It doesn't take a lot of money in equipment to look around our stellar neighborhood.
beautiful
Literally the first time I've ever heard his speaking voice.
Me too. Almost cried. X
Hats 🎩 off to Alan Yentob
Thank you.
WHOA THERE REALLY WAS A COUSIN MARY!
Muchísimas gracias.
incredible ... thank you for putting this together ....
so many funny things in the world, however he is the great musicion
everyone is entitled to their opinion about late Coltrane but to drag it down into a debate about lsd is a reflection of the small mindedness of the people who want to view the music through that lens. THIS MUSIC IS DEEPER THAN PSYCHEDELIA though some people might find that difficult to conceive. if you listen to interstellar space you can hear quotes and references going back to Coltrane's work from the early 60's late 50's even. There was an organic evolution to Coltrane's music throughout his entire lifes work. You don't need HEARSAY about lsd to make sense out of it you need to learn how to hear music in a broader way and be less narrow minded than you apparently are about psychedelics WHETHER PRO OR CON about them. wake up.Its about the music, like it or not, always,has been always will be. thank god for the music of John Coltrane. all of it
+jzzft11 I was looking for this comment. I'm totally agree. hallucinogens are always the easiest explanations for narrow minded when they face talent. it was the same thing with Jorge Luis Borges, argentinian writer.
jzzft11 thanks for that comment. Those who claim such statements are only too quick to go on about 'drugs' to belittle the greatness of especially black artists. From Bird to Jimi Hendrix it's been the same stupid focus on drugs instead of genius mainly by those stealth racists. I say to them, "you take drugs and let me hear what comes out of your horn"!
carm ya farm guru
no music is 'deeper' than psychedelics.
Well said
Um talento saúda o Supremo!
Great 🤓
Beautiful tribute for a man that took Jazz beyond its limits into Praise. Thank you for posting this, hermano....
i say the following admittedly not being the most educated about my subject but only knowing what i love. and i love coltrane. and bird. and i wonder -- was coltrane the inevitable extension of bird in terms of spirituality and music? also love seeing my home town born and bred -- nyc! and jazz was so much a part of my growing up. how could it not be?
dude had a simply lovely speaking voice sure intelligence just in his voice alone. very few people have that and it you remember it when you hear them speak. iv only heard it in afew people. Steven Hawkins had a voice like that.
I knew John Coltrane when I was living in New York. I first met him as the result of a practical joke, having sent him a transcription of his solo on "Blue Train" with a note asking "Does this look familiar?"; when I finally phoned him he said he had been waiting for whoever it was to call him because he wanted to know who had ears like that! We became good musical friends, and he opened my mind to new possibilities--including something I had never even suspected I had, a form of ESP that is very common among musicians. His family was likewise delightful---I just loved Naima and her wisdom and her sense of humor. I miss them all, but the music is there and will always be.
BTW I'm fully convinced he died from undiagnosed hepatitis from injecting heroin in his early days which gave him liver cancer. So sad, this man was great. He was the epitome of music to me.
Coltrane as a religious figure makes more sense than the average pop star because Coltrane actually dedicated his life to communicating with God and communicating his spiritual understandings to the world through his music. He saw legitimacy to ALL religions. Other pop stars don't have the depth of understanding of spirituality that Coltrane had, they are vacant in that area. Coltrane used God to kick his addictions and put himself on the forefront of spiritual understanding.
The best bit is the one of the british critic who compared his playing with higher mathematics, well it is OF COURSE ! I suppose he took it as a praise as well, hahaha.
the coolest daddio!!!
he was more of a saint than any of the canonized popes or others who exploited and controlled the common people with their shame and guilt. Long live St. John Coltrane!!
EPIC
he,s a legend
Legend
Not sure about the church thing bu,t Coltrane Tyner Garrison and Jones, were a true revelation to me and pretty much as close to musical heaven as I've ever experienced
One of my all time heroes and there just wasn't room for him and miles to be in the same band
amen!
Searching .... Finding ....
wise one is from the Crescent album but whats playing during the credits is the title tune.
11:38 love it so true
Trane is perhaps the greatest Jazz Man there ever was; at very least, top 3. Psychedelics have a strange effect on people though that causes the normal critical faculties and ability to differentiate between the important and unimportant to be severely diminished. I think when you first start to dabble in those substances, your trips can bring valuable new insights to the surface, but before too long one stops filtering out anything at all and it devolves into jumbled chaos. Regardless, Trane is the man.
You have no Idea about what the fuck you are talking about . Trane is the man . The rest is your opinion .
Blue train Mr John Coltraine
S.O.S ¡Subtítulos en español...please!
when i first saw the saint picture of him i thought it was some sort of a joke like dudeism but i then found out how saintly his thoughts actually were... the world truly lost an amazing man but that word is too weak to describe him
19:50 - that audience, ooh the glare!
The mid sixties Coltrane quartet...just about as good a band as a band can be.
The only other musician that makes me feel the way trane does is paco de lucia.
Namaste
🎶🌺🌷🌲
does someone know wich song is played at 3:38 ? Sound realy familliar but i cant find it
Grégoire Guilmot résolution! Album: A love suprême!
That is the 2nd phase, 1st movement of the seminal masterpiece album A Love Supreme - Resolution
damn Coltrane was literally trying to talk to aliens
psalm
respects to the church and I was fortunate to perform love supreme there with my group, along with choir, but whether he was a saint or not who's to know? He would never say he was, and that true to being a saint, but his music was heavenly and changed my life...so I think ill just worry about myself here, and not put it on him. People should be inspired to live in the footsteps of saints, and then perhaps, just perhaps we would have a loving world.
What is the song at 14:10 ?
Leve coltrane
Crescent
It's funny, Sonny Rollins was equally as adventurous and boundless as John Coltrane was, especially throughout his later years, in terms of his facility and saxophone prowess It's not like he had to catch up with Trane when they just about the same age, give or take a few years. They were both equally brilliant, is is not better than the other.
Anyone know the ballad that plays during the credits?

Coltrane was not a saint.he was a man with faults and weakness.just like all of us.he was a man with a unusial talent.i reveverence the man also.he was the greatest spiritual instrument player of all time.with myles on the same level.he was not a saint.but he played saintly music indeed.most of his inspiration came from God.
Coletrane's early career w/ Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, Kind of Blue album was supremely Lyrical and swinging, bopping...His evolution into the outraged cantankerous animalistic Free Jazz Extrapolations are unsettling, unnerving overall to the listeners ears. Bird's shorter musical career never lost this supreme lyrical improvisational genius.
Glenn Taylor when does trane start to go too far? Giant steps? My favorite things? Maybe ascension, but what about expression?
What is the last piece called?
wise one
Carl Legault Mallette thx man

It’s actually his wife Alice Coltrane’s song Journey To Satchidananda
piece being played at 14.02?????????????

Song at 16:40?
Nur schade dass er zu jung gegangen ist.
They have no altar how the fuck are they going to sacrifice to forgive sin?!
Coltrane didn't have to don the magic robes or special clothes, and he was HUMBLE, he never considered himself better than anyone else. The church is just another religious con. It's a money grab on the back of the greatest music in JAZZ for all time.
You had to give the huckster the last word?
Ima go listen to Coltrane w Monk, & maybe then Giant Steps or Ballads. But I always, always listen to Love Supreme. X
26:36
16:14
Drugs almost killed him he probably would have lived longer if he hadnt used it .
no rhythm my ass
The cagey fly fundamentally name because gun practically tease including a chilly cracker. unnatural, wacky macaroni
Religious emotionalism, and blasphemy on behalf those who did not warrant the act. The guy was a great musician, but saint, NEGATIVE!
The Catholic Church has appointed Saints of far more questionable saintliness than Coltrane! People pray to Saint Expedit, which apparently come from an anonymous relic shipped to Rome from the Holy Land in a crate marked "Expedit", but votive plaques all over France attest to his miracles. If people credit Coltrane with miracles or saintly spirituality and humility, is it any less valid? Is it any less valid than the mad and politicized rush to sanctify John Paull II? I don't think so. But then again, I don't really believe in saints and think of blasphemy as non-existent, and theology as philosophy predicated on the error of thinking the human mind can grasp infinity and eternity. One man's saint is another man's lunatic.
Hello sir, firstly I would like to say citing the errors of the Roman Catholic church would be credible to your stance if in fact I were a catholic, but I am not at all. I agree with what you have said and put this blasphemy in the same boat as those you stated performed by the Roman Catholic church. Secondly your point of view on philosophy is biased, the reason philosophy made that prediction regarding knowledge of the finite and the infinite being unknowable is because the philosophers of the renaissance and down through Kant attempted to do so and failed miserably. Why did they fail?? They failed because any form of thought that starts with the finite as its foundation cannot produce unity or infinity. So what happened after they failed, they ascribed the pursuance of the whole(infinite) a lost cause and this leads up to what we have today, the post modern relative, existential, mystical or what I call philosophical suicide. I live in a world that is based on antithesis, absolutes, infinite and the finite, the whole and the parts, the creator and the creature, so my definition of life including the word saint is based on the biblical definition, not the subjectivity of any finite man.

re: One man's saint is another man's lunatic. me: Especially when LSD is involved. IMO, LSD did John in - WHAT A WASTE!
The word Saint doesn't have to necessarily have the same meaning and connotation as in Catholicism. I wouldn't make the mistake to confuse the two. In it's highest meaning Coltrane was definitely a Saint in the world of music that transcend to a higher order. I just love Coltrane but he is not necessarily easy listening in that it is not background music. It demands your utmost attention or it will sound like noise if you do not give it the utmost attention because it gets mixed up with the noise in your own head that you can't let go.
I loved John's music from the first time I heard him and tried to play my sax like him. Then he somehow changed from a musical genius to a noise making freak, like Ornet Coleman, near the end of his career. I have long wondered why this happened but now, thanks to this video, I understand! John's perplexing use of LSD was the reason he went from the most musical artist of all time to the most unmusical freak of all time! I can find NOTHING spiritual or musical in what LSD finally did to John Coltrane. WHAT A HORRIBLE WASTE!!! :(
Jim Rich - Jim - I say this because i care but you're a good damn fucking ignorant moron. I mean this in the most extreme way. LSD did nothing terrible to John...and if you knew anything about it or tried it while listening to interstellar space - you would get it. It opened his mind and his playing to a capacity you will never understand because you are in fact ignorant and foolish. The fact is that you are the freak. The fact is that apparently you loved John when he was all fucking doped up on heroin - thats the musical genius you love. Fucking asshole
Kevin, your attack only shows how hopelessly lost in your own insanity that you are. There is nothing I or anyone could say in response to your childishly, insane, blubbering. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU! Get help before you go completely insane.
you're a fool Jim....and ignorant fool
Jim Rich loves his musicians to play hooked on heroin...he basically just admitted it.
+Kevin Williams LOL, don't take it so personally! You're only hurting your self. Love, jim.
Not spirituality but hard core delution of a frustrated drugadict! Wanted spirituality but didn't know how to get it. Extremely talented super musician but completely misguided.
