piano solo goes so hard
Piano solo? where?
Gosh man. How many years later and the beauty of his music and sound lift my spirit...thiss man was a blessing from God.
The piano sounds freaking fantastic in this take. The sax I think I prefer in the other original version!
The pianist in this take is Cedar Walton, of course it'll be fantastic.
Terrific comping - but unfortunately no solo.
For me, this is the greatest Giant Steps solo of all time. I never get tired of the story Trane tells on this one. It's complete perfection.
Yes, yes, and YES! This is the version I first heard decades ago. It is infinitely better than the one that was released on the Giant Steps album. Here, it's a bit slower so Coltrane isn't rushing through the choruses. The solo has a wonderful setup and has a chance to breathe before it launches into the signature phrases. There are so many moments, little stories and killer lines that just are not present in the main version. And you don't have to suffer along with poor Tommy Flanagan who had this chart slapped in front of him with no warning. I'm so glad to find this again!
What "story" are you talking about dude? It's just a tune.
are you trolling? @@flowerforsyte5671
I wanna hear someone rap the way Coltrane plays sax
And I wanna hear what alchemy Bird would’ve come up with if he played Giant Steps.
working on it
Biggie came closest to that
Check out A Tribe Called Quest
On "Giant Steps", beyond the title track and " Naima", one of my favorites is "Mr. P.C.", that Coltrane composed in tribute to Paul Chambers.
We live in magical times
What?!?!? It’s like seeing God creating the world.
Noice, I like bass and I like Paul Chambers. He was an awesome and amazing bass player. John Coltrane was an awesome and amazing saxophone player. Other than that, cool:).
Cedar Walton's counter lines in the head are so great
This is the best version or alternate i believe most people feel that
I first heard Trane live in 1964 at a club in St. Louis. I kept going back. I was underage but they let me in. I gave Trane a poem I had written. In 1965 I saw Trane with Archie Shepp at the Downbeat Jazz Festival. Holy S..T! Having seen John Coltrane live was an enormous privilege. Let me refer listener's to Adan Neely's musicological analysis of the freakish complexity of these chord changes.
Musicological analysis myA***ss .
what Adam Needy the culture appropriator?
I want to curse right now...FIRST time hearing this take...i want to cry right now...
John Coltrane (t sax), Cedar Walton (p), Paul Chambers (b) and Lex Humphries (d) in 1959.
Art Taylor was actually the one on the drums!
@@Wes_Anderson not on the alternate takes, Art Taylor AND Tommy Flanagan (poor guy) arrived only on the final take
@@Ranotheone oh sweet i didnt know that!
When the world bends around, when the structures of a civilization falter, it is good to return to that which in history does not flex, but on the contrary recovers courage, gathers the separated, pacifies without bruising. It’s worth recalling that the genius of creation is also moving in an history devoted to the destruction
Wow
このテイクがメロディアスで１番好きです🎶
such a majestic version
This is actually a better solo in some ways than the main take, cause it's a little bit slower and Coltrane has a little more time to think melodically. The original solo is amazing, historic, unbelievable, etc., as is the tune itself, but it's slightly formulaic in spots cause he had clearly been shedding on the changes for a long time, so he repeats certain licks a lot. Like there's another alternate take that's as fast as the one we all know and his solo on the 1st 8 bars, which are the historic changes that messed with Tommy Flanagan, is EXACTLY the same as the original. So even Trane was relying a bit on licks that he had worked out to some extent. But he was incomparable no matter what.
Yeah there's the one main one he does about five times. Still, the speed which to play and still be fully improvising and not transposing a lick most of the time is immense.
Que gran placer escuchar esto¡¡¡
Lotsa great ideas on this take..
I'm not gonna lie, he did a giant step in progress from this record to the record on the album
His tone is significantly not great here as he's very close to the mic, whereas in the take they used on the record, he is backed up from the mic and the room sound really makes him sound way less harsh.
@@gillhewerfamily6550 which is actually really interesting to note. Coltrane complained about how he was mic’ed on record dates not too long after this and said that the engineers often put the microphone to close to the horn which loses some of the color and depth of the sound. He would suggest playing further from the mic like how he would in a concert setting to get the tone more how he felt it should be. Fascinating to note the differences in how engineers vs. players hear/want to hear their sound. I wonder if that was part of the reason he worked almost exclusively with RVG after his Atlantic contract was up….
this guy plays sax a little bit better than candy dulfer,it seems.
Haha, a BIT better!
Yesss
Johnny Freight Trane. !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The changes are somewhat anticipated
It’s musical momentum
😀💛🐞🐢
It almost sounds like Bird if he played tenor
better than the album cut. much more natural and free not as contrived

Yea
