[adeart7]

Where can we get this video? Where can we purchase it?

[fimble666]

its a pity the words are not synchronised with the video - that being said it was a fascinating look at this mans life - thanks.

[jumaanetaylor]

Epic video. How can I see the rest though?!?!

[lsmith869]

Is there any more of this documentary?

[Angryjazz]

This is amazing and thanks for posting it... But is it just me, or is the audio a full ten seconds out of sync with the video?

[srfgrn]

@Angryjazz Not just you -- audio is really screwed up -- too bad given the great video!

[TomasMikaX]

Is that Coltrane talking at the beginning?!

[jenn4utube2011]

RIP Mr Coltrane, legend forever, love you still! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[terreseco]

[ElfPrincessHarley]

[Bebopopotamus]

@ElfPrincessHarley Got me too, haha

John Coltrane è unico

[taildragger53]

John Coltrane was a HERO. A true , unique, VERY brave human..and a REAL human being who'd tapped into the deeper subconscious of the mind, rejecting his ego and playing from deep within. Very few humans will ever truly do this! Today the music industry is hi-lighting the losers in society. Coltrane was a WINNER.

[pickinstone]

Anyone catch the Phil Shaap introduction? If only he played more music...

[vfdiego]

Holy Shit, Coltrane regularly ate BRAINS for breakfast...maybe I should get on that @6:29

[hobodudeTM]

Does anyone the song used between around 2:20 - 3:00?

[front11gutter]

@hobodudeTM

Wise One

[hobodudeTM]

@front11gutter

Thanks :-)

[RevWrona]

Great documentary and all but was the sound out of sync for everyone else?

[bopbrother]

This announcer is a crack up... "colTRANE". LOL Idiot snob.

[aarfeld]

@bopbrother: Um . . . he has a British accent; that's how they normally speak. It doesn't make him a snob, it just makes him . . . English. If he were a snob he'd probably have nothing to do with John Coltrane, rather than making a loving documentary on his life.

[taildragger53]

@aarfeld I have to laugh here because "aarfeld" has misunderstood the announcer as many misunderstood Trane--Speaking as one who is similar to the announcer , you are absolutely right. and it shows your true accurate powers of perception The guy who is in the documentary is a real Jazz music fan, nothing else. Music is the ONLY language .

Best wishes to you my friend.

[taildragger53]

@bopbrother

 Oh, the announcer is a British Asian, like myself, except the announcer is from a Pakistani background but went to a British school.

No, were not "snobs"(ha ha!) sorry if it comes over that way...one absorbs any accent that is local to ones environment.

That's why you can have a Sikh or Muslim with an American accent etc.

Alot of Indian folk LOVE & relate to Trane's music because he played "free", uninhibited and Trane got deep into Indian folk music & Sri Chinmoy.

[drjimiboy69]

Coltrane captures what Abraham Maslow referred to as self-actualization. Although the genres are quite different on the face of it, Coltrane is the musical father of Jimi Hendrix. If Coltrane played guitar, he would have conceived of and executed Machine Gun. His genius was the product of relentless work. His soul bleeds out of his horn.

[selmansax]

Mr British Narrator:

Please give your sources on the following:

1)Cotrane's saxophone keys seizing up because of sugar, how would that happen? The sugar is in his mouth not on his fingers, the spit (with the sugar on it) is going on the inside of the horn, not on the keys. Please give a source about the seizing of the keys.

2)Coltrane, on a set break and as a leader, going for a "12 block walk" to look at stars. 12 blocks there and back on a set break in a New York club?  What?

[pebblefrog196]

@selmansax The sugar deposits by condensation on the inside of the pads which cause the keys to stick onto the tone holes

[TheJazz2002]

'practiced like a man with no talent...and he had all the talent in the world'

woah, trane was a legend

[spanwise]

Ansaral: You are a cock for two reasons:

1. You have not posted part 3 of this documentary, you absolute cock-teaser.

2. You have used grammar incorrectly twice in the description of this clip.

Sort it out you muppet!

[number12stunna]

Where can you get brains and eggs in NYC today? This is important.

[peppersax]

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER TRANE'

[Angloth]

[timotheous86]

@aaronamccoy kenny g is in nappys in comparison

[mrhitmanisback]

can any 1 explain to me the coltrane thing i dont get it ,,,,,,im thinking he was autistic in some way ,and i dont mean that in a bad way,i admire his playing but it never does it for me

[elkhartmartin]

Wise One, from the Crescent album

[m0nkw]

what song is he playing at the beginning of this video?

[vandoren59]

A song called 'Wise One' in the album 'Crescent'

[yMEson]

Coltrane played like he didn't have time. He could feel his illness growing and got a vision of his friends morning his death, he just didn't know when.

[RONFREEDOM]

God spoke through John Coltrane!

[GanjaGabe]

i think that when john played, and he was really PLAYIN! he became one with god, one.

its something we are all capable of....

[osensei2987]

As a musician, I must say that every serious musician hopes in their heart to someday get a mere glimpse of the light this man left behind!

[GanjaGabe]

yea and as one of those serious musicians, i have that hope!

i said we are all 'capable' of reaching this beautiful state that john had reached in his life. It is journey that asks for us to endure the many struggles & hours of practice, & understanding untill it gives us this light of which you speak.

[GanjaGabe]

2This light is a perception,

one could be considered a master musically by everyone in the world, but yet still feel he hasn't reached this 'light' (much like coltrane). any other 'serious musician,' does the same, we are always reaching out towards that sound in our head, we must always be reaching for something, because with music, its not about the destination, it is about the journey. Many players forget, they get so wrapped up in tryin 2 be good, they forget to learn & enjoy each step.

Dig the message. U a in-tune cat. Universal Blessings

[rillloudmother]

@osensei2987 amen! his complexity is as baffling as is Miles' simplicity, it's simply,"how in the world did you come up with that!!?!"
