When Miles complained to Coltrane that his solos went one too long, Coltrane replied he just didn't know when it was best to stop? Miles said ''when you take the fucking horn out of your mouth'' I always chuckle wondering if this story was true.
When I first played "Resolution" (the end piece), it blew my mind. I was about 16 or 17 and I just couldn't believe that someone could play the sax like that. Awesome then, now and forever!!
I researched all of his discographies at the time and could find no reference to this recording. Of course, the internet produced clips such as these from the very recording! It is one of the most prized albums I have ever owned. I had a friend play the melody at 1:16 at my wedding when we walked down the aisle!
I believe this entire performance was released a couple of years ago. Funny story. In 1994 I had just gotten into John Coltrane's music and was reading alot about A Love Supreme. I told my girlfriend at the time that I would like a copy for Christmas. She went to the local record store and ordered it. What she received was a bootleg recording of this performance. I eventually heard the studio version and realised something strange was afoot. (cont)
said goodbye to Trane at Jacobson's in Huntington Station and I still live in the area. Trane's nearby house is being renovated in his honor. this is back when god's walked the earth
Too bad the clip is so short! I love how he comes into Acknowledgement. Usually there is some kind of countdown or maybe a double foot stamp to start the band. In this clip he just starts while Jimmy is still playing some last solo notes to A Love Supreme. This writing seems to maybe be an aspect of the concept developed by Coltrane at the time. There is no starting of the band -- instead, they are almost caught off guard and fall right into it.
If you mention "John Coltrane" to a random sample of folks on the street, many will have at least heard the name. Repeat with McCoy Tyner, for example, and the results would be dramatically different. What an incredible career McCoy has gone on to have.
i think older ppl have to be less critical to younger people who listen to this, going through these videos on youtube i just see older ppl judge younger ppl all the time, its not our fault we were not born in this time. im 19 and i listen to alot of metalcore music and i love jazz, i started listenin to jazz and blues in high school because i had a great music teacher and she opened my eyes to all different kinds of music and taught us alot about them. anyways i love Coltrane! hes amazing!! :D
@joshdurdle123 You are 100% correct. You can't love what you really have not been introduced to. Matter fact I tend to be more critical of artist than anything else because they are in/ are the music world. This is their lives and careers. They should know the history of the greats and where all this great music came from and make strong efforts to try and replicate it instead of making a lot of this bubble gum crap they put out in music today.
The point is that no one cares when you were born. You aren't somehow special for liking this stuff, as so many teenagers -- more or less -- are bragging about. If you like it, awesome, it's amazing stuff.
@utubegod35 I don't think you are "special" for liking it, but I do think it is special to get the chance to hear it, understand, and like it. Now one could say this about a billion different things, books, adventures, or whatever other passion a person might have. There are a infinite number of special things on this Earth and John Coltranes Love Supreme is one of them. That's all I was trying to say. Thanks for the reply by the way.
What a lot of young people miss is Cotrane was forging new territory not only musically, but socially. Before the early 1960's, black entertainers played the "slap happy negro", mugging for the camera and making wide eyed open mouth expressions. It was expected by white producers and pushed onto the public as "this makes for happy black folks". Nothing could have been farther from the truth. Coltrane and others like him were fighting for their civil rights and proving themselves very worthy.
This footage HAS survived. Per Ashley Khan's book about "A Love Supreme", the video and audio reels of the complete performance are archived in the French TV archives. And the audio portion is included on the Deluxe CD edition of "A Love Supreme". You can find longer video performance clips elsewhere on Youtube.
Para la versión original, de 1964, Coltrane no quiso comentarios: sólo un poema y un texto del mismo músico. Pero para estas imágenes de un concierto en Antibes, menos de dos minuto, si podemos decir algo: la intensidad de la experiencia religiosa de Coltrane llevada a la música. La honestidad cabal de sus convicciones. Gary Vila Ortiz.. Rosario. Argentrina. Gracias por ofrecernos algo que parece poco es tanto.
Besides Antibes there's at least one more performance I have on record. Unfortunately there's no location given, only "recorded in concert in Europe 1965".
@crimenotgood : Something is VERY wrong here. Jazz is my life and I worship at the feet of Coltrane, Davis, actually all. I'm concerned because someone with the screen name of Mrbooger33333 and Mrtruimphchopper. Please notice he/it simply transposed the I and U in my name. I've attempted to notify Google but to no effect.The comment I allegedly posted has been removed and I don't recall my exact words.Please tell me so that this unfortunate issue can be resolved.Thank you very much in advance!
@Mrtriumphchopper Astrotype is sadly deleting a lot of our comments and insights even though we know the performers of this music a lot better than he does. These are some of reasons we do not seem to bridge the generational gap to bring new fans to this genre because of this extremely biased nature of his. As a black American I am highly offended that he professes to love the music and performers but not the opinions of the community this music sprang from....
Towards the end of this clip, Trane breaks into "Transition". When I first heard this song (I was about 17 yrs old), it blew me away!!! After some 45 years or so, that song is still unreachable for most, if not all....tenor sax players! Please upload the rest of this masterpiece.
wrong again sir. this is part of both the first and second movements of A Love Supreme (Acknowledgement and Resolution), one of the greatest and most important albums in history. You might want to check up on your music history.
As John Maclaughlin says Coltrane was the one to bring spirituality to western music which until then was only a part of Indian music. Coltrane turned out to be a great influence in Johns career with Mahavishnu and later Shakti.
how this pure awesomness...love coltrane....i listen to him before i go to school.real jazz real musicians....i'm 16 and i have brave idea of what music is....
if you listen 80 years a go, tango, jazz & samba (today bossa nova are very close. how beautiful is this music! the curious is tango has a black source too (in uruguay
Coltrane is one of the greats. Yes, there is Charlie Parker and Miles Davis and Louie but Coltrane's music was somewaht rare. It grabbed your ear. And yes he had a drug problem, but many artists have issues (e.g. - emotioanl imbalences, diseases both mental and physical). I guess angst inspires some.
The nice thing is htat his music is available. Not true to artists who died before 1920.
Coltrane was a great jazz horn player. Of course there was Charlie Parker and Louie and some others but Coltrane has a unique style that grabs your ear. Yes...he had drug problems ...but many people have problems in life...failed marriages, diseases (mental, physical, spiritual) and what not. He must have had some aspect of his soul that was tortured, and in a way, that has been inspiration for some expressive artists. Angst.
If you play sax and start studying Coltrane's recorded music (with a passion) you get an insight into his musical development. It's fascinating - he was inspired with great musical ideas, and he must have been extremely disciplined to integrate them into improvisation. For example, his melodic ideas are very original for the time (McCoy tyner was on to it too), and his incredible use of alternate fingerings - it takes me hours on end of listening to him slowed down to emulate him correctly.
They do and have existed after Trane. Michael Brecker is a great example of where the tenor sax was taken artistically and musically after Trane. Brecker is gone now (far too soon) but like Trane, his music and impact will live forever.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
every fucker thats into rock or classic rock seems to get into coltrane or miles davis a little bit?... instead of really getting into real Jazz ...it annoys me,
are you implying that they're not real jazz? If Miles Davis and John Coltrane are not jazz artists, then practically nobody is. They just happen to be the most famous.
I friend once told me "no one ever played like Coltrane on A Love Supreme" I completely agree with him, even though I am more into hard-rock music and Jimi Hendrix
Jimi knew about Coltrane cause of Jimi's friendship with Miles. He once called Mitch Mitchell "my Elvin Jones" and some Coltrane-like playing shows up every now and then in his playing. I know where you're coming from, man. My two favorite types of music are jazz and classic rock.
trane was just a man. he had faults and can be criticized. but until you or I pick up the horn and turn the world upside down, nobody got shit to say. sssh. nothing. I remember that room in southern Vermont 35 years ago only because I heard that first note of Resolution. His legacy is sacred, it is magic, and if you/I like it or not means nothing in the presence of creative genius. This is not ripples on a stream, this is a tsunami.
I remember when I first heard this song it was on one of Spike Lee`s movies .I am not sure which one ,but I fall in love with John`s Coltrane`s music a long time ago .Words cannot describe to what my ears feel when I set and relax to his music.
theres so much footage of coltranes later years thats not on youtube.. He was so deep in those days that the sonic waves would mess with the magnetic tapes that cameras used and so alot of the footage is useless .. Trane was on THAT level that was on another plane. Hew talked of finding frequencys on his sax that would make it rain. deep!!!!
Great posting. Sadly, and less than 2 years after this was taped he would be dead. All those years of drinking and heavy drug use would finally catch up with him
It is really cool to see a piece of history like this, but I always wonder how it would actually feel to be there, and live the moment. How cool would that really be? I honestly think every sax player should hear the whole composition of this song just so they know how powerful music really is and this is a perfect example of a musician expressing his life through the horn, simply amazing.
To erebuswong, I do understand you want to honour Coltrane, but please do not call Beethoven a schoolboy composer. Listen to his piano sonatas or his string quartets. This music is so complex. It needs time and effort to absorb and to experience the beauty of it but once absorbed, you will enjoy it just as much as Coltrane or perhaps...:-)
To Erebuswong. Of course you want to praise Coltrane, I understand, but I have to disagree with you calling Beethoven a schoolboy composer. He made great music. Listen to his piano sonatas of his string quartets for example. It takes time and effort to like this complex music, but once you absorbed it mentally, it is great. Perhaps you like it even better than Coltrane :-)
Respect to your opinons Pere but don`t you think that your second post here sort of covered a lot of the same ground as the first? We got you the first time.
yes great wonderful & thank you. s the complete performance from 1965 available for viewing here- the abrupt cut off is leaving me between breaths . . . thanks again for this part!. The complete inspiration of: John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones is only availablethrough such clips and vinyl recordings and their reissue on cd. This msic is for the live performance but whatever we can get we will accept graciously, with reverence.

DanielKo09 2 years ago 3
are you implying that they're not real jazz? If Miles Davis and John Coltrane are not jazz artists, then practically nobody is. They just happen to be the most famous.
leechproject 2 years ago 4
in jazz, most famous does mean one of the best very often, it actually makes sense when you think about it

I friend once told me "no one ever played like Coltrane on A Love Supreme" I completely agree with him, even though I am more into hard-rock music and Jimi Hendrix
BrunoXPZ 2 years ago
Jimi knew about Coltrane cause of Jimi's friendship with Miles. He once called Mitch Mitchell "my Elvin Jones" and some Coltrane-like playing shows up every now and then in his playing. I know where you're coming from, man. My two favorite types of music are jazz and classic rock.

trane was just a man. he had faults and can be criticized. but until you or I pick up the horn and turn the world upside down, nobody got shit to say. sssh. nothing. I remember that room in southern Vermont 35 years ago only because I heard that first note of Resolution. His legacy is sacred, it is magic, and if you/I like it or not means nothing in the presence of creative genius. This is not ripples on a stream, this is a tsunami.

Where else I can find Coltrane playing the Resolution?
And really, why the rest of the video not survived if it not a secret?

Dude kicked all that shit. At this point in Coltrane's life, his only drug was God. God and SHEDDING.

Coltrane was great, but his "sonic waves" messing with magnetic tape? This type of thinking does his true genius no favors.

I remember when I first heard this song it was on one of Spike Lee`s movies .I am not sure which one ,but I fall in love with John`s Coltrane`s music a long time ago .Words cannot describe to what my ears feel when I set and relax to his music.

theres so much footage of coltranes later years thats not on youtube.. He was so deep in those days that the sonic waves would mess with the magnetic tapes that cameras used and so alot of the footage is useless .. Trane was on THAT level that was on another plane. Hew talked of finding frequencys on his sax that would make it rain. deep!!!!

Many said Coltrane, lacked soul, i gotta disagree, big time.

Coltrane lacks soul?!! This would have to be predicated on a very idiosyncratic definition of the word "soul".
This like saying Mozart's compositions are muddle-headed, disorderly, and confused.

Great posting. Sadly, and less than 2 years after this was taped he would be dead. All those years of drinking and heavy drug use would finally catch up with him

It is really cool to see a piece of history like this, but I always wonder how it would actually feel to be there, and live the moment. How cool would that really be? I honestly think every sax player should hear the whole composition of this song just so they know how powerful music really is and this is a perfect example of a musician expressing his life through the horn, simply amazing.

Oh! The greatest music in human history. Would make Beethoven sound like a schoolboy composer.

LazyBastard69 2 years ago
To erebuswong, I do understand you want to honour Coltrane, but please do not call Beethoven a schoolboy composer. Listen to his piano sonatas or his string quartets. This music is so complex. It needs time and effort to absorb and to experience the beauty of it but once absorbed, you will enjoy it just as much as Coltrane or perhaps...:-)
PereUbu86 2 years ago 4
To Erebuswong. Of course you want to praise Coltrane, I understand, but I have to disagree with you calling Beethoven a schoolboy composer. He made great music. Listen to his piano sonatas of his string quartets for example. It takes time and effort to like this complex music, but once you absorbed it mentally, it is great. Perhaps you like it even better than Coltrane :-)

yes great wonderful & thank you. s the complete performance from 1965 available for viewing here- the abrupt cut off is leaving me between breaths . . . thanks again for this part!. The complete inspiration of: John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones is only availablethrough such clips and vinyl recordings and their reissue on cd. This msic is for the live performance but whatever we can get we will accept graciously, with reverence.
