    I’m surprised almost nobody here is mentioning Sanders. The man was on fire, the way he went all out right before the end was absolutely insane. He made his instrument cry in desperation. Amazing. John Coltrane was amazing as well

      You're right brother. I was talking yesterday with a friend about Sanders's mastery in this period. I think some of his most incredible playing is in the first take of Ascension and in Ogunde from the Olatunji concert. That record is one of my favourite records of all time, I don't know if the damaged audio lessen the power of the statement or add to it.

      I was lucky to see Sanders live twice and he definetely had that energy and aura that Coltrane had about him in his playing. He did some of his famous squeals in the playing and it is absolutely mind blowing when you hear it live and he could blend it into music without appearing to be making any effort. I wish Dolphy could have joined them live and it would have been even further out there but often wonder if people are taken from us in life early like this due to what they know and see at the higher levels?

      You can see Roscoe Mitchell trying to reach this intensity. Even though his music is interesting and fascinating now Coltrane and Sanders were light years ahead. Although I am not religious makes you wonder why such people as Coltrane were taken at an early age. This music is absolutely on another level and dimension

      Funny you should say that. I have friends who are into death metal and they heard the freer Coltrane and they absolutely loved the energy from it.

  • @ezequielafferrante
    @ezequielafferrante 3 роки тому +6

    I'm afraid ... Seriously speaking, what we see in this video is the culmination of Coltrane, it is incredible how it has evolved over the years, improving its technique and its musical richness. Many will be scared of this video, but if we look closely it is not far from a crazy improvisation (and surely with some extra drugs) style Hendrix, Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Etc. Only if we listen to an improvisation or just crazy in the guitar to the human ear sounds more digestible to us than listening to an improvisation of this type on the saxophone, the wind instruments are not as digestible and familiar to the human being as the string instruments are. But still I personally notice something different, it is like a presence in his music beyond human comprehension that we can have, I humbly believe that Coltrane was a great ahead of his time, and his spirit has an incredible trajectory in the universe. For something he plays like this, for something he left us this incredible legacy, He was ahead of his time, but he also had that mystisism that we will never know, in his music there is something else, but I still cannot understand.

It was like going 2 heaven n being there would’ve been unforgettable but people fall off here n writers say he lost his mind or was even some kind of unproven early acid addict, just where is respect? Don’t they get that it was the same brilliant man still searching and discovering, this Newport stuff is exciting, these same people say u can’t do anything anymore with a quintet or whatever anymore, just hear it, Ali’s multi-directional rhythms n Alices gospel influenced spiritual bedrock piano, interstellar space n Coltrane n Ali meshing drums n saxophone seamlessly, the possibilities where excitedly opening up but some boring people want 2 play it safe n shut it down, can’t take it, u take a fact out of equation n it’s boring meaninglessness, not the music itself which is anything but stale or boring [:-0 ffs am not take it

    Coltrane alway represented the repressed torment in the soul of black folk… Jazz really started out as a feel good movement that showed black and white folks could maybe get along and collaborate it was a powerful combination of ragtime and blues mixed in with influences of Latin, Caribbean, Irish, Cajun, into a musical and social gumbo stew that was only possible in a city like New Orleans. It traveled up the Mississippi and spread and became a world wide phenomena. But didn’t take long for blacks to feel they contributed far more than their fair share as segregation prevented them from collecting their do. It was a ridiculous era where the popular movie “jazz singer” starred a white actor in blackface! Coltrane was part of a generation of jazzmen moving the music so far away from white players that white audiences would dare tread. In many ways it killed jazz as Wayne shorter, john’s heir apparent, was the last of the great saxophone players. Most black folks had long left jazz and pursued RB, soul, funk and gospel making stops in rock n roll. John really transcended all that came before him and all those that would come afte. his music represents both hope but utter despair. He played at this same concert the song “Alabama” as tribute to those at Selma. He is one of greatest music minds America ever produced.

      @emilianoturazzi 5 років тому +7

      @@angelgarcie dear friend: I'm stubborn and continue to be skeptical about him useing acids... at the same time I assume that my knowledge of his biography could easily be outdated since it's a long time I don't read anything about "jazz" masters' biographies and my last readings date back to early 90s (an Eric Dolphy's biography and an Ornette's one), moreover my interest on musicians' biographies decreases with age :) I don't know almost anything about Monteverdi's, Bach's, Beethoven's biographies.
      So I could be wrong on the point. Nevertheless I think that Trane's free shift has nothing to do with tripping: it's a musical change, it was easy to forseen (he went close to free with Dolphy, Played with Cecil Taylor, had friendship with Ornette even trying to have him in his group in 1965), "Free jazz" and "Cell Walk for Celeste" are from 1960, Giuffrè's Free Fall is from 1963, Ayler's Spiritual Unity is from 1964 (as well as Dolphy's masterpiece "Out to lunch" not exactly a free form album, of course). So somehow Trane arrived even late even according to his tastes...
      And he turned out in a linear way: from "a love supreme" to "ascension" there isn't any true discontinuity (you just have to listen to album such as "transition"...), there is a logical musical development.
      About Elvin... he was a well known heroin addicted (there are some Trane's recordings with Roy Haynes because Elvin had troubles associted with heroin...) if all the thing about these recordings was about having trips I think wouldn't have left the group beause he didn't share the new direction...
      Maybe they had trips, but this wasn't the reason why they used to play in this way.
      ps I never had any trip, I'm no longer interested, when I could be in my country it was impossible to find LSD, I even never assumed any alchool or thc before playing evene when I was a young "hipster" :) nevertheless I play improvised music (but have to admit that I'm more a composer than an improviser...)

Does anybody nowadays sacrifice their entire life to their music? Nope. No one since then has come even close. If you listen to him chronologically, you will notice that at the later part of his career, Trane's sense of musicality and direction became so abstract to a point that he began trying to use extended techniques on the saxophone (ie. screaming, extreme altissimo, false fingerings, etc.) in order to create his own unique voice and emulate a certain emotions, energies and a level of spirituality; something far beyond just playing changes of a progression (which he did already), etc. There comes a point where you simply cannot analyze what Trane did because he was so advanced. Music in its purest form has no boundaries and does not have to be restricted by a harmonic progression, and Trane was one of the first to realize that.
