John Coltrane - Impressions (10min BEST EVER !)

[outersun]

7:23 to 7:32 Trane is knocking over a few walls, painting them orange, pink and gold. Picks up a burning leaf and hugs a friend. 8:15 to about 8:23 he arose some spirits to come play also and kick over a few walls, have some breakfast and chocolate and join him on a stroll. I think if not for the burden of being human Trane could have played a continuous story telling solo infinitely. I'm serious.

@cisum241 heroin, my bad. And this was in 1963, he was doing massive amounts by then.

[bennyboyjones]

@doggettxalex nah Trane wasn't even on brown at this point, this is around the time he started fuckin around with acid

[doggettxalex]

God coltrane is just a coked out mess by this point.

[cisum241]

coke wasnt his drug of choice and no he wasnt

[cel991]

this is jezus walking on the water!

[bobbyearl60]

I want coltrane to be played when Im dead and laid out to view.should make the funeral home a bit more interesting.

[ShoyuTao]

It doesn't sound anything like Brecker but Brecker sometimes sounds a little like Trane!

[EricJrSax]

@ShoyuTao Nicely put!

[PollaroEros]

Paribello stai ascoltando?

[KOREAisHana]

I recommend Choi Woo Joon - Reversessions

[2Xyousee]

if i had to play one example of coltranes genius, it would be this piece...

the idea development is staggering..

his energy, unreal

as ON as you can ever be...

this could indeed be the best ever 10min...

great post!

[JPcares]

This entire 63 set smokes like nothing else! Great!!!!

[cabe277]

Does some of that stuff sound... almost EXACTLY like Brecker, or is it just me?

[drekaphey]

@cabe277 i don't thing in a part that comparable about that old feeling you talking about.. but maybe i should listen carefully more to find what you're talking about;!

[drekaphey]

@cabe277 i'm thinkings on interaction between John and Elvin, Brecker don't have that feeling

[sfbrown11]

@drekaphey roy haynes, not elvin

[shawoody]

@cabe277 Brecker sounds like this stuff here.

[cabe277]

@shawoody ah, touche.

[Modes9]

@shawoody Brecker is my favorite and I really miss him. Let's face it....John invented this way of doing things. The way he changes line direction is a lot more creative than Brecker. Trane changes register quickly and effortlessly all the time. You never know where he'll be on the horn next.

[redseabopper]

@cabe277 I am sure you meant to write that Brecker RIP almost sounds like COLTRANE RIP

JOHN laid out the roots for all the other branches to reach the heavens.

GOD CREATED COLTRANE everything else was after the FLOOD

[TheHeiroglyph]

@cabe277 its you

[Embowafa2004]

@cabe277 umm no Brecker sounds like some of this stuff not the other way around. lol The originator no one knew this was possible on the sax until this man did it! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!

[frogmorton1970]

@cabe277 I think you got it backwards...you mean Brecker sounded a lot like this stuff...it's pretty well known that he was a Coltrane disciple.

[rezmogm]

@cabe277 Puleeze!

[matitutorial4]

yes but 50 years before...



[TheMarcelolelo]

chega a ser ultrajante!!! hehe..

[morengair]

how will i ever pick up a saxophone again?

[AmeenRaa]

D min7 & Eb min7 Supertonic II function in both; minor scale to fourth and the rest chromatic - to start

[Threepwoodist]

@AmeenRaa that's it, i tend to follow how Wes played it, by focussing on the dominant partner of the minor, and take the tri-tone of that dominant also.

[Threepwoodist]

@Threepwoodist The Coltrane changes can be done over this tune as well!

[leeparry2]

saint

[drekaphey]

6:30 it's still Growing, where he got that shit !! Damn WINd, Wind....

[kiskte]

[gcornielje]
