John Coltrane :: Alabama :: Jazz Casual

[LostBlossom]

wired knows of coltrane too

[ed23son]

COLTRANE THE BEST OF THE BEST

[taichifist]

Wow!! This is so sweet! To see and listen to John Coltrane. Now this is how you play Jazz! Do you really know what "Old School" is?

[bolder2009]

I had a ticket to see McCoy Tyner last year, and I got the dates mixed up in my head and missed it. He is the last link to this great band, so hopefully I'll get to see him this year if he comes back.

[MrDkosiarkiewicz]

spiritual playing best ever

[AboveMiddleC1977]

Randomstuf15 just listen

[AboveMiddleC1977]

Not all jazz players are composed of stereotypes for you to narrowly define in the context of your own ignorance.

[timjacquet]

classic



[unoiamacutie]

@randomstuf15 Why does that matter?

[randomstuf15]

I mean no racism but why are all the jazz players black?

[RamosGuitarra]

@randomstuf15 Because that type of music originated within that group of people.

[serbiangirl29]

This song is a response to the 16th Street baptist church bombing in which 4 young African American girls were blown up in 1963 by the KKK. May they rest in peace (along with John Coltrane.)

[heartsoftheinnocence]

Relaxing music

[Nuthy05]

I feel like I'm in the 1930's working as a detective for the Chicago police department solving crimes ;D

[Fastdigitalcar]

Videos on my channel of the jazz pianist Patrick Péronne !!

[skidemon512]

thumbs up if you typed 'jazz' to get here

[Driftkingrik]

@skidemon512 Ass, i typed just the same thing and i getted 450 Likes.. aah fail ;d

[ladyluckmisao]

@skidemon512 what else, if not "jazz", would I have typed to get here?

[paulj0557]

shut up and blow yer horn...or at least listen and shut up.

[fd95117]

holy crap what was going on in the beginning! very talented musicians.

[EasPoetloveWater]

This is music that tells a story, share emotions, and meticulously orchestrates its sound. Why do people come to videos and post irrelevant commentary? I have to say it is typically from Americans (and those who behave like Americans).

[molibento]

@EasPoetloveWater please refer them as "gringos" or something else cause south america and central america are "americans" too

[randywilson95]

ya im 16 ya i like some of the new music like party rock athem or sexy and i know it but jazz is something i love and well hopefully become skilled enough to play like sir coltrane here

[Seroth]

So much emotions in jazzmusic/instuments. I like it very much!

[Thrillville1233]

beautiful

[chriscorso1]

This is soulful as can be here...very moving. I took up jazz piano at 55 yrs old... thanks John Coltrane for laying the ground work, Check out Amazon.com jazz docu "the amateur" see how thankful I am

[DutchUnbox]

It's simple. In the day it's all House, Hip-Hop and Dubstep. In the evening, nothing can beat this!

[yerkoserranoaguilar]

lo mejor jazzz

[amitej899]

nothing goes down better with a glass of scotch than some good old jazz!!

[eyeguy778]

@amitej899 Ain't that the truth! :)

[PietkaMS]

TV kills. I can kinda see this awkward look in his eyes. I feel like he didnt want to be there. Or maybe he did, but was scared as shit. I dont know... i dont like the vid, makes me feel bad.

But still, musics great.

[Tuthmosis1111]

@PietkaMS It makes you feel bad because it is a memorial or a tribute to the four little Black Girls killed while attending Sunday School in church on a Sunday morning in ALABAMA - by a bomb thrown by a racist twisted KKK idiot. So let the music, let John Coltrane help to soothe all our pain. Thank you John

[blablacoco1]

aulé sa dépote épuis le ténore super

[HH444]

dear high schoolers,

just because you got a solo in your highschool jazz band, that doesnt make you a jazz aficionado. the mere fact your your friends dont like it doesnt make you more sophisticated, it makes you a hipster. you might bitch and argue now but in the future if you still like jazz, youll think back to this one day and think how stupid you were in your teenage years like the rest of us grownups do.

[ashamantim]

@HH444Ii think the fact you said this makes you more childish and immature than the people you're scolding.I believe that people should be able to like what they like without being judged by hateful individuals such as yourself. Please refrain from acting like you can tell people that they can"t enjoy something in the future.

[HH444]

@ashamantim fuck off, its not for you. I don't care what you think and you shouldn't care what I say either.

[callitacomeb10106]

@HH444 wow what an asshole, who gives a shit, the kid is 15 years old, quit voting republican

[HH444]

@callitacomeb10106 and you quit drawing ironic mustaches on your finger. marker fumes are bad for you. go big and get it tattooed or go home you hipster

[callitacomeb10106]

@HH444 at least i don't shave my bleached butthole

[asannder]

@callitacomeb10106 I dont think voting republican has anything to do with it. wtf

[Rats136]

@HH444 Why are you judging teens for what they like? And I'm going to assume you're a 'grownup'. In my opinion I'm grateful this music is still being liked by the younger generation.

[elreytuerto]

fucking elevator music

[manoleitorfive]

wena kansion lo malo s k son negrosss jejejejej

[SawBlood45]

im 12 and love metal but now this, my generation sucks, i think this music is awesome so now im cool and above the rest my age like a boss, fuck justin bieber, would have heard this when i was younger but i took an arrow to the knee like 223 other people.

[RivieraByBuick]

@leather96pleasure i am afraid he was so powerfull on the earth, that still could get u from enywhere. carefull with those words, sonny

[Stonerbluesable]

i cant understand that

[Baharoth2355]

quienro, thanks for giving me the story behind this song. I didn't know of that bombing (i don't live in the USA, and i've never been told about this attack of the KKK). Now i'm less an idiot and i'll listen to this song in another way, but it still is beautiful in its sadness.

[FonkyLynx]

Thanks for the vid...cool

[leather96pleasure]

hes very bad..realy at all,but ok for a monkey,very talended

[WatchFunnehVidao]

@leather96pleasure HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG YOU'RE HILARIOUS!!!11

[Owlute]

[loombaron]

Saxophone players, meet your master, Mr John Coltrane.

[Brentypooz]

@gerametal98 I really really hate comments like that, you make it seem like you don't even enjoy the music, but come here to try show off..

[blhex]

Extraordinary musician. A high sensitivity. My admiration for him and his work!

[MrJBizzare27]

Now i see why flying lotus is such a beast :D!

[17205513]

I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS PIECE. KNOWING WHY HE WROTE IT AND ALL THIS IS VERY PURE MUSIC. THIS IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

[drummerkid101]

[17205513]

@drummerkid101 SHOW SOME RESPECT IDIOT THESE ARE GREAT MEN!!!!

[renotef]

jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[EISLER95]

Everytime i hear this song I feel sad , even if I won the lottery or something better , but maybe this is the purpose of the song.

Maybe this is the meaning of the life ... hearing this sax , drinking a beer , remembering our past.

[akaRHELIK918]

he's prob light headed ready to drop by the end of the song hahahahahaha

[jay1beaux]

profoundly beautiful

[dotaboy888]

Play this song with a brown lamp switched on and lie on a leather sofa made from lizard skin and relaaaaaax, oh man i wish i could do this

[swampy1944]

It is so sad to read these comments. So much hate. Look deep down in your heart people & tell us whats really bothering you. Also quit going on & on about kids posting comments about their age while loving this music, these are children you're screaming at. Grow up. I mean that in the best way possible too.... (8

[LedZeppelin420x]

@swampy1944 i agree 100%

[MashHacker]

@swampy1944 Were doing them a favour, when a kid is an idiot he or she needs to know it or it will continue. People keep giving them thumbs up making them think they are special. It's actually fucked up to do shit like that, they are gonna be some socially awkward assholes if they are already bragging about liking music lol.

[heckler171]

this on a sunday in a dark room is sweet

[fredschreffler]

Wow baby!

[jonRboy]

For those that don't know the history about this Coltrane tune: It was about the September 15, 1963 bombing of a Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama by the KKK. The bombing killed 4 young girls. Twenty two others were injured. I think the somber tone of this tune is fitting for this ugly event in American history perpetrated by a bunch of cowards.

[GrafRamolo]

@jonRboy It's sad that almost all good music come form sadness, and pain, but it's one of most wonderful songs that I know!!!!!

[jassimlol]

221 people that are LMFAO and justin beber fans and they dont know anything about real music

[NothingButJazzPR]

CLassic!!



[alejandroosaka]

excelente musica para escuchar en el hogar y la oficina

[joni2427]

@alejandroosaka szsii klaro0 k szii jejeeeje

[largyfly]

I feel like im in an elevator :s

[troykivey]

I am an adamant Coltrane fan and I have no excuse for why I've never heard this song.

[mlee5047]

this guy is my favorite jazz musician

[Unitoligist]

I don't prefer rock or screamo, jazz can come in many forms but they are mostly peaceful. As other people said before, pur newer generations will never understand this masterpiece.

[haleysheehy]

@Unitoligist Disagree. I think the newer generations will return to the roots of music in a desperate attempt to purify the garbage currently being forced down their throats. One can only hope that they recognize it when it's presented, and that rebellion trumps the need to feel trendy.

[SASACAPTAIN]

Пловим, летим, сањам, немирно, а сигурно ... Ко зна, ко зна?

[aminps3]

Jazzy Bazz ?

[jvwashere2]

Our newest generations will never understand why jazz is such a fantastic and sophisticated art form but we are the select few who still enjoy such a beautiful art like jazz

[saxpianobassman2090]

@jvwashere2 I feel like this is extremely unfair to those of our "new generation," such as myself (15 yrs old) that still actively listen to and play jazz at clubs on a regular basis. I do sadly agree that most of my generation will never understand it, but I think if this music got more exposure, it would become more popular.

[loombaron]

then you like music. Most people and specially teens like pop tunes. I got nothign against pop but music can go further and this song is an example of that.

[MrBoognish007]

@saxpianobassman2090 Theres a select few stations - primarily am radio, that play real jazz & blues. I grew up (sorta) in CT, whet to old-school lookin dives in the basement of businesses/apartments, last I heard some group of "concerned parents" (people with too much free time who can't discipline their kids) was trying to get a law by that says anyone under 21 couldn't go into "that sort of place"

[MrBoognish007]

@MrBoognish007 sorry I ran out of room - I realize that some of these dive bars don't have an issue with serving minors or patrons' use of narcotics (heroin seems to remain the jazz drug of choice, not much has changed I guess), but I was there for the music, and if I played and sucked (happened quite regularly), I got props for trying and tips from the old timers, ultimately, thats motivation to keep playing, and if thats bad for America's youth than so is a crappy report card.

[The1ndOnlyJVT]

@saxpianobassman2090 lol im 15 too nd that sooo true

[angelcampos94]

@saxpianobassman2090  you play at jazz clubs? what instrument do you usually play?

[dukeaddict237]

@saxpianobassman2090 i hate our generation...

[Enjo1mydeathwish]

@saxpianobassman2090 I am also 15, it is very sad to see a decline in the quality in music. I am from a hick small town, I was told the other week i don't know anything about music cause i don't listen to eminem, and just today i asked someone if they knew who bob dylan was and was answered "No i don't listen to crappy music".

[makkreol]

@saxpianobassman2090 Yes, I completely agree, seems that the record companies / promoters / media are not trying to have an influence in that way anymore, rather they react to what the people are listening already. However in Coltrane's time, it wasn't much a popular style anyway. The greats of today will also be remembered, keep an open ear ! ;)

[bolder2009]

@jvwashere2 That's an elitest statement. Every artform has its golden age. Jazz is no longer the popular music it once was. Its just the nature of things. Renaissance style paintings are also not as popular today. I didn't live in the 15th and 16th century but I still appreciate the great work of Leonardo and Michaelangelo, so there are kids today who will eventually discover the music of the Jazz age and its legends. But it won't be the same as living through that era as it was happening.

[thegrandjew]

@bolder2009 true but the caliber of talent in music isn't the same. with jazz there was peer influence to play well. commercial music doesn't produce the same push. LMFAO is popular, Nicki Minaj is popular, that Peter Bjorn and John-ripoff song is popular.

[flaviolima91]

@bolder2009 So I guess you would say Branford Marsalis, for instance, isn't doing anything new, just repeating what was already done, right? I'm so sorry, but you couldn't be more mistaken.

[patronuzo]

Mi primer comentario en youtube tenía que ser para expresar cuánto me gusta la música de jazz.

[lZlAlbatrozlZl]

he's my love

[Rayers]

the musicians he has with him are so talented as well.

[Kr4ftee]

Jazz is so underrated

[64coolermaster]

@Kr4ftee thats why people don't like use the mind soul and heart

[HybridD91]

@Kr4ftee Underrated? No. People just moved on to something else. Jazz is far from underrated.

[psicareyramos]

Musica para compartir siempre. :D



[TheMingusjazz]

Up to now 01:42, 14 December two thousand and eleven to two hundred and nineteen individuals did not like this video / I'm so sorry for you!

Não sei quantos anos ouso essa música, e vou continuar ouvindo.

[Manofjude]

This music is awesome, i cant understand these 12 years old kids, that have no concept of music... Im 14 and i love jazz, fuck Lady Faga

[DeOndertoon]

Enough with the adds, Youtube.

[saxofone1000]

Muito bom, que bacana!

[saxofone1000]

Que beleza!!!

[ThePaulinchi]

Love it!!!

[markitymark90]

Would be a great song to start a Coltrane movie. It's about man's search for meaning in an uncaring world.

[Sharybary]

whats the name of this tune?

[bathroommonkey76]

@RAYJENKTY Wow. An anonymous, inbred, racist douche on youtube! Now that's REAL talent!

[RAYJENKTY]

@bathroommonkey76 Uh no. Not talent at all. Just stating facts and observations.

[1991NOS]

@RAYJENKTY ok so let me get this right. if theres no talent, lets see you post a vid of you playing the saxophone that apparently takes no talent to play. douchebag.

[OnReflectionCA]

@RAYJENKTY Shut your German mouth before Coltrane shits in it.

[RAYJENKTY]

@OnReflectionCA How does a turd shit? I'm confused. Are you saying large turds excrete smaller ones? Please enlighten me of this phenomena.

[Sodhats]

@RAYJENKTY What you've done there is you've confused a human with a monkey.

It's easily done, because they are evolutionarily related, both being primates. A handy key to tell the difference in future is that monkeys are the small hairy ones with tails, where as humans are taller, have large areas of bare skin, don't have tails, and can play the saxophone.

[WeGameReviews]

This is real music.. If people dislike this.. ? I dont know anymore! This is what real music should sound like! Like this so everywone can see it! ;D

[KARLOSMTV1]

OMG this is music.

[3WaysToPlay]

This is dark... Coltrane was deep.

[gerardgiblin]

@3WaysToPlay thats what she said lol

[thehighlandsarealive]

I never really sat down and listened to a jazz track, let alone the music of this man and band. I only decided to listen to it after reading the works of Cornel West. I can start to see, and hear, why jazz is so important, as a beautiful, hopeful response to the dangers and darknesses of life. West says he's "a jazz man in the life of the mind -- committed to keeping alive the flickering candles of intellectual humility, personal compassion and social hope in our barbaric century." I get it.

[jomirapozo]

ahhh hermoso ¡¡¡ sublime -.-

[misseaglet2004]

[dragmio]

@imaterminator Those people are stupid. Find others to socialize with.

[TheLinemaniac]

I AM WRITING IN CAPS TO EXPOSE A POINT COLTRANE IS AWESOME

[Carnifexism]

Sounds like something off Sim City 3000 :D

[swfjswfj]

[NYBabyDoll7]

@swfjswfj It's relaxing

[gregsky01]

it is 1.30am, I'm lying in bed with the lights out & headphones in listening to this & this is the most relaxed I've felt all day.

[snipski0894]
