As a Mexican kid growing up listening to heavy metal music, my uncle took me in his garage and said to me....listen to this, and it was John Coltrane my favorite things. Changed my life.
Coltrane is simply "SPIRITUAL." Absolutely otherworldly. Have you ever heard a more beautiful piano solo than McCoy Tyner's? Also note the pace of drummer Elvin Jones as he drives this quartet. This is a MASTERPIECE!
MY FAVORITE MUSICIAN ALL-TIME! I PLAYED SAXOPHONE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE OF TRANE! TRUE GENIUS! HE WAS THS FIRST ONE TO MAKE THE SOPRANO SAXOPHONE POPULAR! WITH THIS PIECE! HIS COMPOSITION SKILLS ARE EXCELLENT HERE! WHEN YOU THINK OF JAZZ AS WHAT IT IS, AFRICAN AMERICAN CLASSICAL MUSIC, YOU HAVE TO THINK OF TRANE FIRST! YOU SHOULD REACT TO, A LOVE SUPREME or GIANT STEPS also by COLTRANE! GREAT REACTION! OH, YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER the great THELONIUS MONK! THANKS!
My Favorite Things is a song from the movie Sound of Music. Commercials also use the song during Christmas. "Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens..." is how it starts. The part you keep humming is "These are a few of my favorite things..." I'm sure you've heard it creep in your consciousness. :-) This version is a favorite though. Thanks for reacting!
GREETINGS. JOHN COLTRANE.....TRUE,UNBRIDLED, UNADULTERATED, PURE,SINCERE GENIUS. One of only a handful of MUSICIANS who changed music. A MASTER COMPOSER AND INSTRUMENTALIST. Even GUITARIST endeavour to emulate JOHN COLTRANE. His level of skill was so superior, he could play two notes at the same time......UNCANNY. THERE IS NO MUSICIAN WHETHER ALIVE OR DEAD WHO WILL NOT SITE JOHN COLTRANE AS AN INFLUENCE. RAKIM OF "ERIC B AND RAKIM" FAME USED COLTRANE'S STYLE OF PLAYING TO DEVELOPE HIS UNIQUE STYLE OF RAP......HIS CADENCE WAS ALL COLTRANE STYLED. EVERYTHING IS IN DIVINE ORDER.
Coltrane belongs at the top of the list of American musicians, which is saying a whole lot. Creative monster who worked with the best of his generation.
This song really brings back some memories from my childhood. During black history month, one of my 7th grade teachers used it as an opportunity to introduce us to music by the old jazz greats and this song was one of my favorites till this day. BTW, you could hear this anywhere because it's been used in so many ads throughout the years!!!
My brother, say it again...!! Jazz music IS American classical music, invented by the people who were at the bottom of the social totem pole. In quite contrast to the roots of European classical music which was an elitist, bourgeois form of music that was only reserved for the high society. Jazz is America! The way bluegrass, rock & roll, and soul music is. Beautiful and talented black people gave America its soundtrack. 100%
11:34 You have to realize most jazz musicians have to keep their "chops" up, practice all the time. Coltrane knew that instrument inside out, top bottom, sideways front and across, and could make it speak. An incredible musician...
One of my favorite all time John Coltrane tracks....so beautiful! Coltrane was definitely one of the classic jazz artists that got me into jazz as a young person. One of America's foremost musical geniuses. No doubt about it.
No one like 'Trane. Taking such a simple and well known melody then using the solo to convey so much dynamic and harmonic meaning. All while moving away from modal thinking and moving toward a spiritual understanding of music. This and "Giant Steps" really changed improvisational thinking. Now that you're doing some popular but influential jazz, give a listen to Miles Davis and his first great quartet doing "So What" from Kind Of Blue.
I am pretty sure Trane got some flack for this cover song..."Sell Out! Going Pop on us?". First, it is a brilliant pop song by Rodgers and Hammerstein, but Trane transformed into an avant garde treasure. BTW, the background noise, from what I assume is your family, actually adds to the ambiance...It sounds like the clinking of dishes and glasses and random mummer of a smokey jazz night club.
One of the best soprano sax performances I've ever heard. I think you would love Roland Kirk's Coltrane tribute from the Volunteered Slavery album. There is a lot of mind blowing Kirk out there.
Could you by chance do a reaction to Robert Johnson? Although his career was tragically very short, he was probably one of the most important influencers on American music in the 20th century.
jazz giant one of the worlds greatest sax player every other sax player judged by his high standard song from the sound of music its called proper music jazz if you let it will move the spirit lights up my brain in away that no matter how bad things get jazz will always heal my soul
Sound of Music (that's where the original score came from. Classic movie/ musical with Julie Andrews). The song was covered recently by Ariana Grande. That's probably where you heard the melody.
A Jazz Classic!! Coltrane was amazing. This song has turned almost as many people on to jazz as Miles Davis-Kind of Blue. My favorite Coltrane though, is actually his wife Alice Coltrane. Check out her wonderful soul jazz on the harp! (No. not the harmonica, the actual harp) She mads some wonderful music with Pharoah Sanders and Joe Henderson on sax after her husbands passing.
So glad to see you react and enjoy Coltrane Coltrane is to me in jazz what Bone Thugs (how I first discovered your channel) is to me in hip hop, talent on multiple levels
With the great McCoy Tyner on piano, this is real music, back in the day young black men played instruments and were the greatest jazz musicians, these pathetic rappers can't even play instruments, they "sample" greatness. Thanks for listening to Americans greatest invention. Too long? Are you late somewhere ? Just relax and listen!!
Why are rappers pathetic. And why are they the only one you single out for not playing instruments. They are vocalist of course they can't play instruments. Wierd😒
The more avant-garde Coltrane might be more of a subjective challenge. I'm not sure what it means to be well versed in jazz. I have zero background in jazz, and I dig A Love Supreme.
to my young bloods take music theory introduction so when u open your pie hole u will talk and not sound childish...research the theme music it came from a famous movie
Coltrane doesn’t play the whole song you dolt! The rhythm section does but the saxophonist doesn’t! The pianist is McCoy Tyner bassist is Steve Davis and the drummer is the great Elvin Jones! Jones and Tyner and massive legends in their own right. If you don’t understand jazz instrumentation and how it works ask! Don’t make assumptions. Plays all the way through and is all him lol!
As a Mexican kid growing up listening to heavy metal music, my uncle took me in his garage and said to me....listen to this, and it was John Coltrane my favorite things. Changed my life.
The mesmerizing piano was played by McCoy Tyner, an original member of the John Coltrane Quartet and brilliant musician in his own right
I always feel McCoy Tyner wins the show on this track.
The quartet is tight
That's McCoy Tyner on piano, one of the best to ever do it.
McCoy and Bill Evans are the GOATs of jazz piano in my book.
Coltrane is simply "SPIRITUAL." Absolutely otherworldly. Have you ever heard a more beautiful piano solo than McCoy Tyner's? Also note the pace of drummer Elvin Jones as he drives this quartet. This is a MASTERPIECE!
THE SOUND OF A BLACK MAN'S SOUL FLYING FREE......
Well put
This is the height of beautiful musicianship. Sublime. Ahhhhh....McCoy Tyner!!
Elvin Jonez baby!!
@@caseybrown6848 oh, absolutely! That whole band!! Damn.

AT the beginning of his career, JC was modeled on Charlie Parker, who died prematurely and his death was related to a drug overdose

We'll just imagine that you are listening to Coltrane live , in a smokey nightclub with noise in the back ground.
And with a beautiful sister on your arm...
The closest to such an experience I had was seeing McCoy Tyner at the Village Vanguard in NYC
GREETINGS.

TRANE~~GREATEST MUSICIAN I HAVE HEARD IN 55+ YERS OF MUSIC LISTENING...
Left us way too soon! John Coltrane and Charlie Parker two giants of the jazz sax.🎷😍
I listen to J Coltrane nearly everyday and instantly my spirit is freed from physical limitations! This never gets old. Great reaction!
I listen to this about 5 x a week
Listening to music like this is perfect traveling music going anywhere

Coltrane........the culmination of Armstrong , bird, dizzy miles and mingus and more.... the only CLASSICAL art form invented in America is JAZZ

McCoy Tyner on Piano passed away about the time you discovered him :((
Love, love, love the great John Coltrane! 😊. This song, A Love Supreme and Wise One are my favorites!!👍
Elvin Bishop on drums andMcCoy Tyner on piano
Yes Elvin!
Its Elvin Jones🤟🏽
Coltrane's album cover should be a soprano sax buried with a tombstone, dated with the day he recorded this song, because...damn
John Coltrane is one of the absolutely most influential sax players throughout history!!
He had a band. He just played the Sax
Yes "Mother Popcorn" one of my absolute fav songs period & Coltrane put the icing on the cake. Awesome review ♥
stank u Keeper,this iz Mother Pop!
Love this reaction, 3 amazing musians. Coltrane solo after Tyler's solo gave me goosebumps, and I have played this song 1,000 + times, literally.
One of my favorite all time John Coltrane tracks....so beautiful! Coltrane was definitely one of the classic jazz artists that got me into jazz as a young person. One of America's foremost musical geniuses. No doubt about it.

The man, Coltrane. My favorite version of this song.
I drive by his old house in North Philadelphia once a week
🆒👍🏾
No one: Clears throat*
Just Jammin': "Where have I heard this from?"
Your ear is sharp as Hell
Light my Fire..The Doors
Thanks for the reaction to one of the most blessed musicians ever to walk the earth.
One of the best soprano sax performances I've ever heard. I think you would love Roland Kirk's Coltrane tribute from the Volunteered Slavery album. There is a lot of mind blowing Kirk out there.
Could you by chance do a reaction to Robert Johnson? Although his career was tragically very short, he was probably one of the most important influencers on American music in the 20th century.
no, he wasn't.
Trane and his Classic Quartet are the most supremely gifted collective of artists ever assembled.

Just commenting to help the channel. I don't have the words to say how much John Coltrain effects my life when I listen to it.
Coltrane is God.

Check out her wonderful soul jazz on the harp! (No. not the harmonica, the actual harp) She mads some wonderful music with Pharoah Sanders and Joe Henderson on sax after her husbands passing.
This is taken from the Rogers and Hammerstein Broadway musical “the Sound of music”
So glad to see you react and enjoy Coltrane

Why are rappers pathetic. And why are they the only one you single out for not playing instruments. They are vocalist of course they can't play instruments. Wierd😒
Listen to some of coltranes long jams to this tune. They’re amazing
Live at Bird land is good. 1963
Coltrane can be a hard listen if you're not well versed in jazz.
The more avant-garde Coltrane might be more of a subjective challenge. I'm not sure what it means to be well versed in jazz. I have zero background in jazz, and I dig A Love Supreme.
This is okay, but stuff like impressions is hard, even with some experience.
I think Grant Green or Wes Montgomery has a version of this as well
2 of my favorite jazz guitarist right there!
This song made me discover Sound of Music.
I even love "OutKast" version of "My Favorite Things" lol It's FAST PACED but I think Andre 3000 did an awesome job
Back in the day they recorded in monotone or stereo, is what you're hearing.
Incredible
The 3/4 I think it's got him😁
Check out Jazz legends playing live. Seeing and hearing is always better! Do a Coltrane my favourite things live video to start.
Found some gold
And light your ….

Why shouldn’t a person want to know know more? And who the hell insults someone by calling them a dolt?
@@desmondcoppin591 I do.
Coltrane at his best
