  • i lyk lazy bird becaus it has a hook and then u can do your own thing. :D

  • I had tha CD This is tha best of tha best!

  • More like TheQualifiedTroll.

  • this music gives you wings but they only work if you want to fly to a better world, far from everything it bothers you .

    thank you jonh coltrane

  • lazy bird more like lazy musicians...pfft this blows. coltrane and the gang are nothing more than smacked out junkies blowing on rusty instruments for their next hit only to be thrown crumbs by the whites. the good old days.

  • i love lee morgan's sound.

  • @connormcg92 I'm low.

  • Thanks for sharing

  • My kitten Coltrane just died today and this makes me smile.

  • @starpotter04 Your kitten died? That's really sad.

  • Can someone tell me what instrument that is at 1:40? I'm studying jazz instrument phrasing, and want to know if that's a horn or a sax.

  • @lwm3398 Trombone!!!!

  • @funkeemon Oh god... I'm a tuba player, I should know low brass sound!

  • COLTRANE DA MAN!

  • @NDguy141 ohhh it was a gears of war reference....i know now.

  • @NDguy141 locust honkey? really? your racism isn't necessary and bowing down seems quite inappropiate. please keep your ignorance to yourself and listen to the music. no color needs to be involved here.

  • amo a coltrane!!

  • @TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa I'm a fetus and this song helps me relax before the big day when imma pop out of my mom. i win

  • @crimsonhawk52 I am a prokaryote and this song is the reason I will evolve into a conscious being in order to relax.

  • @anewmach1ne you got me

  • Queria ver as partituras dos improvisos.

    Um abraço a todos...

  • valve trombone?

  • I love the coda in this song

    

  • i can tell this comment thread is full of people who don't listen to jazz..

  • @prsshred39 "I can tell this comment thread is full of people who don't listen to jazz." If I may, I will quote Miles Davis. So What?

  • I like how the bass got a solo for a chage.

  • Coltrane never played t he trumpet but next to C. Parker he played tenor better than anybody.

  • @SophisticatedSound charlie parker wasn't really a tenor player....he played alto.

  • I love hearing Morgan and Coltrane playing together!

  • What are people thinking about when they listen to this? Because I'm not getting it...

  • @TheLagunaSunrise What aren't you getting? What are you confused about??

  • @lifestraight I'm not getting the appeal to this. It's all over the place... where's the time to dwell on a particular note or hook... there's no time for the listener to think about a particular part of the music that strikes a nerve. It doesn't make any sense.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise It's Coltrane's poetic and melodically impressive sax, along with the fast paced bassline. It is somewhat all over the place, but a lot of jazz is improvisational. I think it is very impressive.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise Check out Miles Davis - So What for some 'easier' jazz. Once your ears begin to pick things up quicker, you'll come back to this and by amazed. I wish you the best of luck. Jazz is one of the most ingenious art forms and I hope you can someday enjoy it. :)

  • @TheLagunaSunrise its all snobbery realy jazz is improvisation but there are so many do and dont things attached it takes away the personal improvisation of the individual and to me it all sounda similar i mean inart is a picasso remotly like a david hockney no not in the slightest do you get it

  • @TheLagunaSunrise its all snobbery realy jazz is improvisation but there are so many do and don,t things attached it takes away the personal improvisation of the individual and to me it all sounds similar i mean in art is a picasso remotly like a david hockney no not in the slightest do you get it

  • Beautiful and it helps me concentrate while I do my homework.

  • @glong86 I don't know about you, but when I hear any type of music I lose my focus on all else. I guess that comes with being a musician. Haha. I'll hear Bird or Prez come on and I'll instantly stop in my tracks to figure out the chord changes if I don't know them already. xD With radio stuff now adays it doesn't really distract considering how easy the songs are to construct and play. :P

  • Bop lives! Great performances, horrible recording quality, sounds like something from the 1950s. Curtis Fuller does an excellent job imitating J. J. Johnson, but why go to strangers? This must be early Coltrane, 'cause I can almost understand what he's saying; (he lost me shortly after "Giant Steps"). Pianist unnamed, but he listens a lot to Bud Powell! Despite all my nit-picking, I gotta admit that I enjoyed listening.

  • @2009soundman Back then it was more about the quality of the music being played rather than the quality of the recording medium

  • I don't think that those are the right notes for the trumpet, because I'm playing along with it and it sounds like everything is a step higher. For example in measure 7 instead of a D I think Morgan is playing an E. maybe my ear is misleading me though.

  • @ClappingSnakes the sheet is in concert key...

  • this just plain cool!

  • music for soul . (respect John )

  • I have to play this drum solo for my audition to go to school for music... Jesus.

  • Kognac, Coltrane did play Alto Horn. Close enough..LOL!

  • I am a total Metal kid and when I heard this it is so stress relieving I love it I cant wait till I am old enough to have a car this would be the perfect thing to get stress off my back after school

  • @TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa Definitely. For me it is thought provoking. Instrumental genres of music or genres of music largely devoid of vocals (classical and jazz) allow room for and induce more thinking. I think the lack of vocalization sometimes allows for more emotion to emanate from the heart.

  • @TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa fuck yea man! I know plenty of metalheads who dig jazz! metalheads can learn alot from jazzers and vice versa, were not that far apart!

  • Nice =)

  • you know what I've been listening to metal for while thinking 'this seems hard, well the drums seems easy though' then I listen to Jazz and the sheer sexyness is awesome :D

  • I'm trying to learn the drum solo for a drum audition... oh great.

  • A Love Supreme is a beautiful album

  • People please hear Dexter Gordon too. All of these jazz virtuosos established a language. I'm studying Dexters performance of Lady Bird ( another song that ends in Bird) and it's just beautiful. Hear it.

  • wow wow&&&&wow perfect.

  • Ups, se me pone la piel de gallina al escuchar eso...

  • Did Coltrane have an IQ of +140 to compose such a lovely tune? OH YES, HE DIDDD!!!

  • @Holdsyfan

    no that was Charlie Parker...and who cares about IQ. Stephen Hawking said it himself, "people who brag about their IQs are losers."

  • @acidbug: Both rocked big time! Agree totally about Stephen Hawkings quote :)

  • dat brass

  • this is superior than clasical music!definitly, it`s sounds better and it´s "funnier".

  • @matox4 what do u mean its funnier than classical music? 

  • Perfect example of the best stuff....Nobody could do it better. This is excellent sound quality for the time.....

  • this a jamie aebersold jazz study chart

    amazon is a good source for jamie aebersold play along cd's and charts  gr8 jazz study source

  • Great stuff! Nice putting up the lead sheet. Triangle is major 7th [plus 9 and even #11 if you're rad]. Minor is of course 7th plus 9th and 11th, which always work. Trane was the master of playing "outside". Either you "get it", or you don't.

  • @passthepitonspete I've been taking music theory by myself for writing jazz (I'm 14), and thanks for telling me that. I figured "Triangle" was just Major triad, and "-" was minor triad.

  • opening solo just blows me away

  • wow  this guy is sick!!! :D

  • why is it so hard to find good music :-)

  • 8 people don't understand what true music is.

  • damn Trane just shreds the changes like a beast. the lines are always so clean.

  • man i heard this song some where. anyways yea i really enjoy listening to this while im cleaning my room this and "seven steps to heaven" if anyone can send me a good song please DO

  • How classy was Philly Joe?

    Damn!

  • this song has given me the best feeling i've felt since, forever, and i'm only 16

  • @stevesk8r wait till you lose your virginity!

  • @flipadiddle lolol thanks man, surprisingly i still haven't, but hey you made my day

  • who disliked this? hahahaha

  • @VISCOmaniac It's really obvious that 8 people just happened to miss the "Like" button

  • What a chance this was a lazy bird, imagine what it would looks like if the song was named "extatic bird"!!

  • coltrane's intro (ending with the parker lick) after the trombone is so captivating

  • In jazz you usually find that the trumpet takes the first solo, followed by the trombone and then the the reeds. Problem solved,

  • @marmiteboy99 Well actually, solos are usually taken in any order whatsoever. Lee Morgan just happened to get a little opening spot in this particular tune.

  • its lee morgan playing trumpet you idiot, it even says it there

  • The trumpet is played by the late, great Lee Morgan, so stop complaining!

  • One of my favorite Jazz songs in the world next to Blue in Green by Miles Davis... Jazz is so under appreciated in this world...

  • The intro always remind me of super mario bros for some reason...

  • Who cares about whether it's Am or Am7? Just listen to the greatness that is Coltrane.

  • A^ (triangle) is AMaj7 (A C# E G#)

  • No, A- is Am, not Am7

  • Normally A- would mean just A minor, but in Jazz there's so much open to interpretation. When your comping in jazz you never use just a triad. always a 7th chord (or more) (9, 11, or 13). and the triangle would mean a major 7th.

  • @drfeelgood883 you wouldnt always use a seventh though, yes most times you will not encounter the basic triad as somewhere in the melody or in the rest of the band someone will be playing a note to make it a seventh but that doesnt mean basic triads are never used, even if it is open to interpretation.

  • ok so when it says A- & A "triangle" is it Amaj7 or Amin7

    i forget :P

  • the dash is minor, the triangle major

  • A- is Amin7 an A "triangle" is Amaj7, although the triangle could also stand for a triad.

  • thisi s in c concert righT?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm going 'ah, I'm reading the melody' then the solo kicks in and I think 'wtf damn!'

  • @qays1991 Hey, you got the basic tune and the changes. You can't ask for more than that my friend.

  • @qays1991 Why don't you record the opening bit and put it on a loop, then go to Chile and ask them if you could go down the mine before they seal it forever.

  • Jazz Juggernaut

  • its the best music in the world !!!!

  • what a trumpet solo dude! :D

  • Coltrane, Lee Morgan, and Curtis Fuller...oh man, watch out!!! And of course Mr. PC himself on bass!

  • this is my allstate piece for trumpet. shit

  • haha yea, CT all-state

  • LOL @ dvnstvn9 saying Kenny G's Songbird is better....better only in YOUR mind. Go see the Wizard Of Oz for some brains and maybe some soul

  • oh so fresh !!

  • Coltrane never played trumpet...

  • @kognac100 I don't understand why that comment has so many thumbs up. coltrane starts playing a solo around 2:45 ish, and if you can't recognize his unmistakable sound, you shouldn't be commenting on what he did and didn't play :)

  • @gamwizrd1 its cuz you click on a coltrane video expecting to hear his tenor, and then you get a trumpet out of nowhere without any warning.

  • @gamwizrd1 i dont know why your comment has any thumbs at all. Coltrane's solo @ 2:45 is clearly played with the tenor sax. the comment i was replying to originally has been marked as spam so you dont know the story . don't comment on things you clearly do not understand. So again COLTRANE NEVER PLAYED TRUMPET.

  • @kognac100 its lee morgan you idiot, it even says it under the video

  • @KA1ZR yhou read it wrong idiot. instrument after musician

  • @kognac100, Lee Morgan playing

  • @kognac100 just open informations:

    John Coltrane (tenor saxophone)

    Lee Morgan (trumpet)

    Curtis Fuller (trombone)

    Kenny Drew (piano)

    Paul Chambers (bass)

    "Philly" Joe Jones (drums)

  • @kognac100 just open informations:

    John Coltrane (tenor saxophone)

    Lee Morgan (trumpet)

    Curtis Fuller (trombone)

    Kenny Drew (piano)

    Paul Chambers (bass)

    "Philly" Joe Jones (drums)

  • @kognac100

    that's lee morgan...it's a solo with a group, read the description ^^

  • @kognac100 You're right. And that is pertinent how...?

  • Lee Morgan- Trumpet

  • @kognac100 but lee morgan did it... trane's solo starts at 2:43. it's better listen the whole song before you post... now you and the 14s voted you appear all like stupids.

  • @kognac100 ehmm...Lee Morgan

  • @kognac100 LOL!

  • @kognac100 of course he did not. Lee Morgan played trumpet here. Coltrane just played solo.

    I dont understand how can this sarcastic comment get 12 positive reactions.

    Dont you know one of his most famous albums "Blue Train" and only 19 years old Morgan who played there trumpet like most of jazz musicians will never do in their lives??

  • @kognac100 But the intro is good with trumpet

    And Coltrane' s solo is exelent

  • @kognac100 he may have never picked up a trumpet in his life...but lee morgan sure plays the shit out of one!

  • @kognac100 Read the description asshole.

  • im sorry just speaking as a trumpet player and musician i believe lee Morgan is one the best who ever did it and John coltrane is too...Just watch Creative Arts jazz Band at Berklee festival on youtube and see how much of an impact he put on child not only music but as people too...

  • Wot did he say?

  • people say "an hero" now.

  • You're so stupid. Make sure you don't have any kids.

  • como on dude, i love kenny g too, but this is way better!!!!!!!!!!!

  • where can i find the sheetmusic or the partiture or the musicnotes PLZ! i love this song n i surely like to do the solo just as it is written :)

  • I never realized what Lee Morgan got from Trane until now!!!

  • thanks i dont have to buy a fake book to learn this now... haha!!

  • Fuller wasn't yet at his peak, but in comparison to what he played at his leader album "The Opener" he has developed very fast. By the way, Trane chose the musicians for this recording !

  • arco bass solo ^^

  • amazing..i love this song

  • Ive heard Slide Hampton in a clinic setting he had a beautiful sound. I also heard Tom Garling from The Buddy Rich Band in a master class he was excellent. But by far the best trombone player my ears have ever heard was from a guy named Conrad Herwig. Man he is unbelievable!

  • I love Jazz and my Gramma's surname was Konrad. Maybe there's something in the cosmus that explain both situations..  Regards Eaglesax1, Louis

  • yea man! he came to my school this past spring and blew everyone away...super cool guy too!

  • Arakami I am sure you can do better.

  • i'd advise everybody to check out Pat Martino's take on Lazy Bird for a note perfect take of this classic. Still an excellent take this, thank you very much

  • Lovely ending

  • blue train  one of tranes best

  • Cookin' , Poppin', Bingin' and Bangin'!!

  • Cookin', Steamin', Relaxin', Workin' ....

  • Xvr man . =)

  • Does anyone know where I can find Art Blakey's Off the Wall on here?

  • wait wasn't this song by charlie parker, coz he got nickname "bird" so yeah, lazy bird lol ny1 help here

  • Nope. This was the original recording by Coltrane. Maybe a Tribute! The changes and solo are definitely in the "Bird" vein. There's another great tune called Lady Bird by Tad Dameron that also sounds Charlie Parker influenced. Check it out!

  • When Coltrane's solo starts it soudns like hes saying.."Hey, stop that wack trombone solo, lemme play something reALLy HYPE." (Put the words over Coltrane's melody, sorry i just hate that solo lol)

  • trombone doesnt have the fluency of saxophone so i find most trombonists cant match the energy of a sax. However there are some really hip trombonists like george lewis. Man that guy is hip.

  • I know, like Slide Hampton also, but this man curtis fuller, not my favorite lol

  • nice arco bass solo :D

  • Lul thanks for showing the head which everyone with a real book will have.... Transcribe it nucca!

  • It's Trane not Train. Good song though

  • Actually, the "trane" spelling is the correct one, according to the album publishers. The original is called Blue Train.

  • sorry the "not" was not posted for some reason. It should have read "trane" is not the correct spelling.

  • relyanddefy needs to be hipped to this

  • lol

  • Why thumbs down a comment such as this? Hahaha...

  • Hearing this makes everything okay. The best there is.

  • "Overrated," my foot.

  • listening to from Birdland.

  • nice!!! 5 stars!!! thank you very much for posting this!
