John Coltrane Quintet "Leo" Newport 1966 1/2

[ExtremeBogom]

Psh I can play that.

[tranesonic]

@ExtremeBogom on you troll sized tenor sax?

[ExtremeBogom]

@tranesonic

Yup.

[CRABNEBULA1054]

Coltrane and Sander's version of "Naima" on the Coltrane "His Greatest Years" album has been my personal national album for 36 years, and I like to listen to it loud, and that chaos of the dueling saxes that return to harmony at the end is love. It's a dialectic of love and rage, and a fitting national anthem for this whole militarist nation\. And I say that as an artist and former teenage nuclear weapons technician in the army, 1968-1971. Right on!

[rarebully]

Really dig this. I am a great admirer of Trane, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, Listening to them is so inspiring, leaving me with a glad to be alive feeling.

[jibsmokestack1]

Wow! 

[DimiChecker]

it is terrible

[tettras]

It's great!

[SidewalkFrequencies]

some day (when the shit finally goes down) the world is going to have no use for Lady Gaga and Jay Z anymore, and it's going to go looking again for it's great truths and it's great musical truths, and there it's gonna be. Trane, Pharoah, Ayler and all the Brothas..

[TheKeiouki]

where can i find tabs for this? i want to play this on my ukulele

[anularedoro]

The greatest music EVER.

[lingduay]

Wow.......

[edshipsey]

i heard a pharoux sanders solo best of 2 cd thing and i wasnt to fussed.. i do love his playing with john and in journeys in sa..... with alice ... am i missing something in his solo ourve that i shouldent be?

[opinioninflicting]

I've heard some recent live Pharoah Sanders shit that's absolutely tits, but just listen to Pharoah with Coltrane, that should be sufficient...I mean Paul Mccartney hasn't written anything interesting lately and you don't expect him to, and you still regard him as a genius. This shit Pharoah was playing makes Jackson Pollack look like a pussy.

[maestronosferatus]

The sound of all my cells set free. Love last stage coltrane! and Pharoah Sanders! who I've seen in concert and he still plays pretty wild!

[mrfadeout]

I am not sure from where you took this (phenomenal) recording, but it's now available on Last Performance At Newport with equally incendiary readings of My Favourite Things and Welcome ("All Tracks Previously Unissued!!"). Enjoy

[lecarreso]

Abstract truth? Or the sound of our dark side

[whykatera81]

are there any transcriptions of this solo???? i need to learn this

[Eegunjobi1966]

69 years and he still can blow!!!!! I saw him last night (6/25/09)at Yoshi's-S.F.and talked with him briefly.

[FelixRiviera]

Monumental, heart-rending, expansive, gorgeous, frightening, freeing, awe inspiring, courageous, melting, heaven, hell, and earth combined. I surrender absolutely completely to this music and to this man

[tonyfreejazz20]

YEAH....awesome...these living legends are the bomb...thanks for posting this.

[pvtheau]

incredible again!

[whykatera81]

got to meet pharoah for the first time last year. got to sit with him and ask him a few questions. i was so nervous but he was so humble he even questioned why i wanted to pay the 40 dollars for an autographed picture of him i said man your Pharoah Sanders!!!

[joznick1]

haha hell yeah

[Pharoahsim]

PHAROAH!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[xtomokixx]

Pharoah Sanders is my father

[opinioninflicting]

That's awesome! Tell your father people are still listening and learning.

My whole novel and all my writing and art are basically based on this hardcore musical conception of life. It's the closest to religious feeling I'll ever get.

I think of Pharoah Sanders as depressed, just because nobody celebrates him the way he should be celebrated, up with the greatest artists and philosophers of all time. People are stupid, but he really is that good.

[xtomokixx]

yeah my dad also a jazz philosopher

but he go to shrines and spiritual stuff

in japan at the airport

i saw about 50 people who liked his music

and gave him an autograph

hes very popular in (jazz)japan

because the karma album really felt deep and

cultral

[opinioninflicting]

People are dumb. He'll only get the respect he deserves after he passes away. One of the great artists of the twentieth century. Make sure you kids make the right deal with the record company, if records are still sold in 20 years, they'll issue box sets and make tons of money.

[opinioninflicting]

You say "Pharoah Sanders" you should think "Kafka."

[zakcattack]

The swallow sits at the window

and dies

His life had gone, but he was

not known

Only in his death did they

see

The poor little bird had

died.

[groalerable]

@opinioninflicting

i started listening to this stuff about a year ago...and i wanna know- are these guys, like coltrane, brotzman, and pharaohe the best free jazz players or are they just the famous ones?? like do the encompass free jazz in these 50's/60's recordings?

[opinioninflicting]

@groalerable No I actually listened to free jazz players, and it's all talent. Coltrane didn't pick Pharoah Sanders out of a hat--he was literally the best saxophone player in the world, playing in that style. It was like "hardcore acid trip" American Idol.

[intokind]

You are a lucky kid.

[edcerc]

pahroah sanders is a true genius

[leskromer]

So I was there in person, at Newport I mean. Coltrane played on a Sat afternoon and not knowing who he was at the time decided to go to the beach instead. It was the only time in my life that I could have seen Coltrane live and I missed it. However I would have hated it. I was 19 and just starting to listen to easy jazz, brubeck, kind of blue etc. I love Coltrane now, he is my God!!! Thanks for posting this.
