No matter who this piece is played/led by, Davis, Coltrane, Evans, Rollins; this will always be my all time favorite jazz piece. Rob Mills, my friend's father, who had an untimely passing a few years back at the age of 50 introduced this tune to me, and I will always remember him and his love of life and music every time I hear this. Rest in peace, and jam on my friend!
@Sunderlanding My point is this generation expressed their hardship in Jazz. And... technically no, this generation was the first to see a war of the magnitude of WWII. If I had a problem with absolutes I would not have used one. However I am very careful with them. This is because I hold words in high regard as I would any other powerful instrument.
@astonehunter I'm pretty sure there were wars before WWII that had the same magnitude. Remember if you don't have a telephone or a TV the rest of the world might as well be on Mars, so the wars and hardships they faced ages ago would have the same impact to the people, because their whole world was turned upside down.
@Sunderlanding Your point is valid, all wars have similarities, but they are also each unique. WWII was the greatest American military effort ever, fashion/culture were impacted by this united effort. But my true point is, as Dr. King explained it when asked, "Why now?" "After serving valiantly for freedom in WWII the black man refused to return to the status of a second class citizen." Notice the textures, rhythms, tone implemented with European instrument, in seeming defiance of its ancestry.
@Sunderlanding another quick point, I'm concerned you may think I think War is the only reason for this brew, No! it’s the history, the availability of instruments, the technology, the audience, the expectation of environment, all provisions of Americana. But I have to reaffirm that it is my opinion that hardship of various kinds, birthed the most potent expression of this sound.
@uparick28 There the art is: Learn to perceive you must, and deep to you the world will be. (Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity for a Yoda-like moment.)
Wyn Kelly on this? is spectacular. Whenever I hear Coltrane during this period, it's a mystical or religious experience EVERYTIME...gooseflesh , granduer, all the best stuff in life times 10. It alters my course esp. if I'm in a bad way...
I was once playing in punk bands, listening to punk rock. There then came a day when I felt like punk no longer said what I was thinking and what I was feeling. Then one day I heard "On Green Dolphin Street" from Miles's 58 Sessions. It set me free in ways I could never explain. I was 15 then. 11 years later I still don't go a week without listening to Green Dolphin Street, no matter who's rendition it is. Thank you Coltrane. Thank you to all that came before you, and all that have come since.
Music is an expression of the individual experience. This music was born of those who had been told by a ruling culture that they were less than. So as a result they in revolt delved into the sophistication of this expression. Amazing to consider that as one entity tries to oppress you they in like manner make you stronger. This new generation knows little about that form of oppression. It seems to me that this is an age of self indulgence, self gratification and glorification.
@Sunderlanding I avoid word usage like "just", it infers absolutes. But if its an absolute you want here is one, "This music identified with a generation of expressionist and audience who as a whole, saw great hardship." In my opinion far more than this generation. "World War, Disease, Poverty, Civil Rights violations internalized in a Social Unrest of unumerable diversity." I assumed the reader would discern I spoke in terms of universal appreciable evolution. It was what it was. Nice try 4u2
Well, I mostly agree with you. Jazz was born from the raw riff-based and syncopated African style music and blended with the theory, notation, and arranging techniques of classical music.
now bebop on the other hand, was solely created by african american musicians in the late hours of the club after their swing gigs.
@velvetrose76 Well said. I noticed you addressed the first group with "birth" and the second group with "created". As this was my point in my original statement, something birthed takes time to mature, requires the aid of more than just one, never remains the same. Those that help create it are as diverse a group as are the stars of midnight sky.
@duhjuce I was there when Hip Hop began, in the Bronx, were we rapped on street corners with no beat to back us up. If you noticed I never named a genre, I only said this generation. I look at all musical expressions as an instrument, that can be manipulated by good people, bad people, smart people, shallow people, its never the art its always the person behind it. My generation was spoiled compared to the WWII generation and so is this one. peace be with you also
@ianhendersonjazz You are the kind of jazz fan that makes me sick and keeps "your" music from the common man, with your phony sophistication and high brow elitist attitude. Go down to New Orleans and dance in a second line march and tell me jazz is anything but primitive, ethereal and universal.
@Audnorge False. I have been to New Orleans, and watched the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The jazz I am referring to is the jazz from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Bebop. The "common man" is the one who has dismissed "my music" from society because he does not understand it and would rather listen to something easier on their ear. I don't "keep my music from the common man". I don't think jazz is more superior or elite than other music. But I KNOW it is more complex than most other music. My (cont.)
@Audnorge Comment was directed to the ignorant fools who hate and degrade jazz when they have no knowledge or understanding of it. Of course jazz is all of the things you stated. It is one of the most expressive art forms in the history of mankind. I am a student of jazz. I understand why it is here, where it came from, what came before it, and what it has evolved into. So why don't you think twice next time you try to preach to someone you know nothing about.
@ianhendersonjazz The fact that you say you know all about Jazz and I should not be "preaching" to someone I "know nothing about" it serves only to prove my point exactly..... that you are a rude, arrogant, elitist snob who feels more sophisticated than the "commoners".
I stand by my original statement. I know and despise your kind, you Jazz
@Audnorge Those are words of someone who knows they are wrong.
You twist my words. I don't "know all about jazz". That would be why I'm going to school to learn about jazz. I appreciate all forms of music. I also don't think my music is the best. There is no best genre of music. It's all opinion. So there goes your argument that I am arrogant or an elitist snob. Arrogance would be saying jazz isn't sophisticated, which you did earlier. I know and despise your kind, mainstream music nazi!
@ianhendersonjazz Hey, I've been there. You've discovered jazz, your mind is blown, and you're very proud of yourself for being smart enough to understand & appreciate this sophisticated music. Congrats. Be very careful about letting that "jazz is only for us smart folks & our advanced ears" attitude get out of hand, though. Besides coming across as snobbish, it just isn't true. I loved jazz as a 5-year-old kid (thanks Mr. Rogers) just as much as I do today, now that my ears are all "advanced".
@alexmortland You're assuming things about me that aren't true, and you're also quoting me on things I never said, so there really is no basis to have an argument here. You're making an ass out of u and me. But really, it's just you.
@ianhendersonjazz What's not true? That you've discovered jazz? That your mind is blown by it, and that you're proud of yourself for understanding & appreciating it? That's the "assumption" I've made based on your comments, and I still don't think I'm wrong about those particular points. Am I?
@alexmortland False assumption #1) You're assuming I just discovered jazz. Jazz has been in my life since the beginning too, buddy. #2) That I'm proud of understanding it. Why are you assuming I understand jazz and am proud of it? Where did I ever say that? I even said I'm going to college for jazz, so why would I do that if I already understand it so well? So why don't you fuck off and stop acting like you know so much about someone you've never even talked to. I have nothing else to say to you
@ianhendersonjazz And since you insist, we'll look at your original comment, word-for-word (although I still think I summed it up just fine, albeit slightly reworded): "Jazz isn't for people who don't have advanced ears. It isn't for the simple minded musician. It's as simple as that." If you REALLY are clueless about how snobbish & elitist that attitude is, well.... you'll figure it out someday, assuming you're the sort of music student who's more interested in opening doors than closing them.
@alexmortland Oh no, you know so much about me so you're obviously the one in charge. You've discovered some magical way of reading people's minds through their youtube comments, lol.
You're right. that is Wynton Kelly. I was thrown off by those block chords he played toward the end of his solo. But I should have known better. The only thing missing was Miles.
Unfortunately, many people today don't understand jazz - this guy was really great about expressing himself, his interpretation of this song, and others is fantastic!
@susieqty1, not only do they not understand jazz, they don't understand music whatsoever. Even the most hardened punk rock band members back in my LA roadie days knew something about the musical history that preceded them - in fact, a lot of them had sizeable LP collections that included 'Trane, Miles, Monk, Charles Mingus, Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, and a lot of other notable contributors to the expansion of the musical universe whose names would elict a "?" among today's unwashed fools...
@hinodecho69 Sadly, you are right. It's a shame that a large portion of people now don't care for jazz, when it clearly is such a beautiful work of artistry and talent.
@hinodecho69 That's because music today, much as it was in the 50's is factory made industrial pop, and like all pop it fizzles with a little exposure and turns into to something flat and unappealing, we've grown accustomed to one hit wonders, thismade people fickle. True music has depth, you leave it alone, come back to it, and it's like listening to it for the first time. Remember diamonds aren't valuable because they're abundant, kind of like these gems, of inspired creativity.
@hinodecho69 Yeah the electric guitar has just about ruined music. I say that as a guitarist. This fiction that music is something you just feel, without having any appreciation for the science or history of it. The truly galling thing is not just do the millions of wannabe musicians not have respect for the science or history of music, they don't even realize that they don't. They're not even aware of what key songs are in. No one's ever told them that's important.
@dgianaris You misunderstand me. I am not criticizing the instrument itself. I play electric guitar. My point was that the popularity of it has spawned generations of people who just strum open chords without any regard for the actual science of music. No one's ever told them. It's accessible. I guess any instrument of the same popularity would have that effect, but it's still the modern symbol of music being something casual as opposed to a vocation in which you actually train.
@IDFPleonexia, sounds like I hit a nerve. I guess being able to articulate my thoughts with visual imagery makes me an "elitist". Fine - go take your silly faux outrage elsewhere...
@hinodecho69 Not only are you correct, i bet that half the artists that are singing today have no idea who John Coltrane even is. That is a true shame. I could sit and listen to this all day, as opposed to the garbage that is on the radios now.
@hinodecho69 Take a few secs to look up JAZZ on Google, and read the true meaning of the art form. It's quite interesting and informative. You will come out of it with a great appreciation of the Music I truly LOVE.
@hinodecho69 haha you are such a wise man...as being apart of this young generation it frustrates me to see countless people see Jazz as 'gay' while they dilute their simplistic minds with the idealistic mainstream crap and exploitative bullshit which is derived from nearly no skill or feeling for music but rather a motive of money. Man Coltrane and the like knew how to swing and groove and just a single note transcends hours of singing from some shitty self proclaimed 'musician' like bieber
@hinodecho69 Yeah really. And even though the style is still in use today, it's not nearly as "cool" to young people anymore. Go to any video of Lady Gaga and there will be literally millions of views, yet I don't think we she makes could be called "music". I'm only 22 and I appreciate jazz and classical more than anything musically.
@MrSynysteria It's good to see that you've started to appreciate deeper musical forms. However, just because someone like Lady Gaga employs a modern pop aesthetic doesn't mean she's any less of an artist: good art exists in all genres. However, you are right that people should be informed of older styles much more so.
a lot of people used to reply negatively that wynton played with his right hand pinky raised ,which is supposed to be a no-no.Youknow what I think? who cares that cat could play and swing harder than most cats doing the opposite,lets celebrate genius ,love and interpretation of music instead of bestowing more honor on a supposed
Marvelous, fantastic and all.. but this jerking video suffering with hiccup makes me mad!! I usually pick up my bass and play along but with this video it is impossible!! I won't vote dislike but if i did it weren't for The Trane playing!
I fully agree that most people lack the insight & intellect to even BEGIN to understand what it takes to play jazz, especially on this level. However, I was addressing your remark: "Until you can play as well as he does, u dont even have the right to dislike this." Perhaps you were being ironic. But I've seen such remarks many times, and the people making them have been serious. The old "can you do better?" remark, which really isn't relevant. An understanding of what you're criticizing is.
Who could possibly dislike this? WTF is wrong with people? THIS IS MUSICAL GENIUS. I find it unbearably disappointing that modern music has completely corroded appreciation for true artistry, Coltrane is a god. Plain and simple. Until you can play as well as he does, u dont even have the right to dislike this.
@AhamBrahman People have the right to dislike anything. The idea that one has to play as well as JC in order to dislike this is silly. We all have faves & people we don't enjoy. It's often a matter of style. I'm not a big JC fan, thought I don't dispute his genius & contribution to jazz. I don't like his tone & his intonation is often not great. Here his playing is more to my liking, tho he does do his usual flurries-of-notes stuff (from 3:17) which I don't like much. I prefer melodic playing.
I'm not arguing whether or not people have the right to dislike anything. That's absurd. I'm arguing that most people don't have the intellectual or artistic insight to appreciate music that is intelligent and artistic. And to be honest, if you dislike Coltrane's tone but appreciate his genius and influence, then that's one thing, but to dislike him outright because of ignorance, that's another. I'd be surprised if anybody would argue about his contributions to jazz.
He's almost one with his instrument. If you see any of the old Charlie Parker videos, it's the same thing. They are so efficient in their movements. It's so beautiful and amazing.
What a privilege. After Coltrane, Sonny Stitt joined the group for 6 months but would have none of Miles' new modal music. Then George Coleman, then marvelous Mobley (if only there were film footage of him), then Shorter, and Miles stopped groovin'. It was either free or funk from then on.
As good as this art form gets. There was a lot of posturing with the later Shorter-Hancock-Williams Quintet, but not here. No one ever played a more beautiful ride cymbal than Jimmy Cobb. Wynton Kelly is perfect, as were Red Garland's and Bill Evans' piano with Miles during this period. Coltrane at his very best (he self-destructed beginning in 1965, after Elvin and McCoy left his group).
sexyLASTninja has embarrassed him/herself already, but her/his ignorance and arrogance took it to a whole new level. But yeah, I must admit, this is amusing.
@lionqueen11 he made his music by using his HANDS. Yes, back in da days it was normal to play instruments. Forget about this modern pc shit. actually techno is no real music. open your eyes and ears!!!
All too good to last

You're right. that is Wynton Kelly. I was thrown off by those block chords he played toward the end of his solo. But I should have known better. The only thing missing was Miles.

@susieqty1, not only do they not understand jazz, they don't understand music whatsoever. Even the most hardened punk rock band members back in my LA roadie days knew something about the musical history that preceded them - in fact, a lot of them had sizeable LP collections that included 'Trane, Miles, Monk, Charles Mingus, Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, and a lot of other notable contributors to the expansion of the musical universe whose names would elict a "?" among today's unwashed fools...

@hinodecho69 Sadly, you are right. It's a shame that a large portion of people now don't care for jazz, when it clearly is such a beautiful work of artistry and talent.
Spider2point0 9 months ago 2
@hinodecho69 That's because music today, much as it was in the 50's is factory made industrial pop, and like all pop it fizzles with a little exposure and turns into to something flat and unappealing, we've grown accustomed to one hit wonders, thismade people fickle. True music has depth, you leave it alone, come back to it, and it's like listening to it for the first time. Remember diamonds aren't valuable because they're abundant, kind of like these gems, of inspired creativity.

@hinodecho69 Yeah the electric guitar has just about ruined music. I say that as a guitarist. This fiction that music is something you just feel, without having any appreciation for the science or history of it. The truly galling thing is not just do the millions of wannabe musicians not have respect for the science or history of music, they don't even realize that they don't. They're not even aware of what key songs are in. No one's ever told them that's important.

dgianaris 7 months ago
@dgianaris You misunderstand me. I am not criticizing the instrument itself. I play electric guitar. My point was that the popularity of it has spawned generations of people who just strum open chords without any regard for the actual science of music. No one's ever told them. It's accessible. I guess any instrument of the same popularity would have that effect, but it's still the modern symbol of music being something casual as opposed to a vocation in which you actually train.

@hinodecho69 haha you are such a wise man...as being apart of this young generation it frustrates me to see countless people see Jazz as 'gay' while they dilute their simplistic minds with the idealistic mainstream crap and exploitative bullshit which is derived from nearly no skill or feeling for music but rather a motive of money. Man Coltrane and the like knew how to swing and groove and just a single note transcends hours of singing from some shitty self proclaimed 'musician' like bieber

@hinodecho69 Yeah really. And even though the style is still in use today, it's not nearly as "cool" to young people anymore. Go to any video of Lady Gaga and there will be literally millions of views, yet I don't think we she makes could be called "music". I'm only 22 and I appreciate jazz and classical more than anything musically.
MrSynysteria 4 months ago
@MrSynysteria It's good to see that you've started to appreciate deeper musical forms. However, just because someone like Lady Gaga employs a modern pop aesthetic doesn't mean she's any less of an artist: good art exists in all genres. However, you are right that people should be informed of older styles much more so.

I fully agree that most people lack the insight & intellect to even BEGIN to understand what it takes to play jazz, especially on this level. However, I was addressing your remark: "Until you can play as well as he does, u dont even have the right to dislike this." Perhaps you were being ironic. But I've seen such remarks many times, and the people making them have been serious. The old "can you do better?" remark, which really isn't relevant. An understanding of what you're criticizing is.
fretbuzz59 11 months ago
Who could possibly dislike this? WTF is wrong with people? THIS IS MUSICAL GENIUS. I find it unbearably disappointing that modern music has completely corroded appreciation for true artistry, Coltrane is a god. Plain and simple. Until you can play as well as he does, u dont even have the right to dislike this.

@AhamBrahman People have the right to dislike anything. The idea that one has to play as well as JC in order to dislike this is silly. We all have faves & people we don't enjoy. It's often a matter of style. I'm not a big JC fan, thought I don't dispute his genius & contribution to jazz. I don't like his tone & his intonation is often not great. Here his playing is more to my liking, tho he does do his usual flurries-of-notes stuff (from 3:17) which I don't like much. I prefer melodic playing.
fretbuzz59 11 months ago
@fretbuzz59
I'm not arguing whether or not people have the right to dislike anything. That's absurd. I'm arguing that most people don't have the intellectual or artistic insight to appreciate music that is intelligent and artistic. And to be honest, if you dislike Coltrane's tone but appreciate his genius and influence, then that's one thing, but to dislike him outright because of ignorance, that's another. I'd be surprised if anybody would argue about his contributions to jazz.

What a privilege. After Coltrane, Sonny Stitt joined the group for 6 months but would have none of Miles' new modal music. Then George Coleman, then marvelous Mobley (if only there were film footage of him), then Shorter, and Miles stopped groovin'. It was either free or funk from then on.

As good as this art form gets. There was a lot of posturing with the later Shorter-Hancock-Williams Quintet, but not here. No one ever played a more beautiful ride cymbal than Jimmy Cobb. Wynton Kelly is perfect, as were Red Garland's and Bill Evans' piano with Miles during this period. Coltrane at his very best (he self-destructed beginning in 1965, after Elvin and McCoy left his group).
