really nice version. This was a nice recorded set, done in Germany. Good version of MFT, too, nice and short. Powerful solos from everyone...luv how dolphy fills in on the theme, and then bows out as Trane ends it. Just beautfiul.
So much Adderley as well in Eric's solo here. He just adds the freak-out on top to what are already established chops. There is a youthful folly to his playing, a sophomoric over-attempt at novelty that just doesn't quite capture the true genius of a Coltrane or Parker. Going berzerk in the overblow doesn't quite cut it. The real masters make something eternal out of the atonal. Eric doesn't.
Eric learned so much from John. It is so evident in his solo. Elements of his solo are almost imitations of John's core vocabulary of years prior. Eric just takes it out a bit further with the overblown expressions.
ERIC DOLPHYspeaks a different language, once youre able to decipher it which is a intellectual undertaking wow what a beautiful experience ,one must listen carefully to understand his conversation very deep artist way ahead of everyone,. JOHN COLTRANE obviously is having a great mood in this session astonishing definetly the greats.
I'm not religious, but among the best arguments for divine existence is that these two gentlemen shared the same stage on the same planet at the same time.
@intervalkid Dolphy was a regular member of Coltrane's groups in late 1961/early 1962. Try Impressions, Africa/Brass, and of course the complete 1961 Vanguard.
I bet Eric Dolphy was like "Hey John, you have a bitch'n rhythm section. Mind if I get a few minutes having my back?" Elvin Jones can read and amplify Eric so so many levels. Then McCoy Tyner lights the skies. Love it!
I think Trane plays in the music a moment after he hears what will come out where as Dolphy lets his head shout out his imagination at the same time he is immersed in the sound. Any way i love jimmy, that is jimmy yeah? Sounds like him.
Modal just means improvising on a scale (or "mode"). In regular jazz improvisation is on the chords of the major (or minor) scale. Perhaps the finest example of thismodal style is the "Kind of Blue" LP recorded by the Miles Davis Sextet (with Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley among others)
"Free jazz" is more "offharmony" than modal jazz. Modal Jazz or modal music is just a way of putting a lable on harmonies
given by "odd" musical scales, a tone here and there off. True free jazz should be out of that limitation. There exist freer and freer jazz, but never true free jazz! True free jazz/music would be chaos, which noone would care to listen to!
harubbacool, in my experience no free jazz and modal is not the same thing. In most modal tones there is a definite set of harmonies. In free jazz there are harmonies but a lot of western tonal concepts are forgotten. However, i suppose a modal tune could be approached from a free jazz standpoint. I guess your answer lies in the tonal concepts the players approach it through.
@jankooper: Now there was a great loss to Jazz. Eric made some fantastic music but he was really only just getting started. Imagining all of the great work that he would have gone on to create saddens me for what our culture was deprived.
need help for homework assignment would this be considered avant garde, free jazz, or modal?? i think modal would be more along the lines of his classics Giant Steps and My Favorite Things but I'm not sure
This is modal! I disagree 'bout Giant Steps - it's not bebop, something in between bebop and hardbop anyway best not defined, because it's greatest as it is! True, Trane's renditon of "My favorite things" live at Newport 1963 is modal spot on!
They all rock. Hard. My favorite Dolphy album was always "The Copenhagen Concert". Four album sides of pure bliss. The "Live at the Five Spot" Albums with Booker Little are also killer. Thanks for posting this video. Way back when I was getting into Jazz (before YouTube) I never thought I'd get to see any of these guys play. It's great.
ahh sometimes i wish these vids were in higher quality- i feel like i would appreciate the musicianship of these men more if i could actually hear them- not that the bad quality doesn't make a nice feeling of "oldness" =)
First time I've heard Contrane on this tune, awesome! First version I heard was a McCoy Tyner arr with M. Brecker and Avery Sharpe from an Inpulse release in '94.
Coltranes solos are just a complete force of nature, but Dolphy... there isn't any good way to describe his solos, it's like his picking up sounds from alien spaceships and in the best way possible
Get the Complete Village Vanguard boxed set. Those are the live dates with Dolphy, and there are several takes of Impression on there, not to mention a mountain of other really mind-blowingly great stuff.
i love how coltrane hits a note then lets it resonate as all the music flies by like a wave, then he gets on and takes it to the cosmos then rides the crashing wave to shore..
Oh my God. What two enigmas screaming through their horns, their soul exploding into the music. Elvin, oh dear, listen to that explosive drive and ear he's displaying. He can really build the intensitiy up during solo's. McCoy doing his thing. A couple of crazy lins from him. John Coltrane. This music is divine.

i can't stand jazz; i once got a reply on a previous comment (whose name i shall not mention) saying "Only thing that matters is does it excite you. It seems you just doesn,t understand the music." and truth be told, NOTHING ABOUT THIS EXCITES ME; there's no feeling in this to me, nothing beautiful, nothing saddening or depressing or terrifying; or for that matter, nothing joyful or triumphant; just...nothing.
Your opinion is respected as much as the jazz-lover's. You are among the majority of the population with how you feel. Jazz is, to me, a more pure form of speech through an instrument, and such a thing is non-obvious to most listeners. It results from deeper concentration, and often, a more mature process of thought and communication between players.
most people who love jazz at one time felt exactly the way you do now. just keep listening and be as open minded as you possibly can. when you start to hear the music it will be the most thrilling experience of your life.
I love classical; especially the genious of beethovens "Variations on a theme" (all of them) and anything by mozart (don giavonni; queen of the night from magic flute) and the closest thing i'll touch to jazz is gershwin's clarinet solo from "rhapsody in blue". i suggest you check my page for what i like.
Seems to me that you don't like improvised music or maybe it's the extended harmony that puts you off ...hum...what about Ravel's " Le tombeau de couperin" or Debussy or Stravinsky, or even Gunther Schuller's Third Stream Stuff...those are good starting points...that you may connect with...Or perhaps Pat Methey Group & Keith Jarret's Köln concert (since it seem that you're really into melody). Are you familiar w/ them?
Puffs just doesn't know shit about music. I listen to classical music too, but i'm open for everything. Drum and Bass, Metal, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Bossa Nova everything. Puff with Man lotion just is a narrow minded motherfucker. Why does he even take the time to comment on this video if it doesn't move him one bit?
I looked up Puff's page, he's a13 yr-old kid who's a Mozart-head...I actually wrote to him a few suggestions (Ravel, Stravinsky,Keith Jarret,Pat Metheny Group), as to open him up and ease him into music that deals w/ complex harmony, but still contains "beautiful Melodies" so that he may start to grasp some of it, and perhaps begin to understand Jazz...when I was his age I probably wouldn't have "gotten" Trane & Dolphy , but at least I kinda dug Pat Metheny & " jazz chords". Peace, man
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i like SOME coltrane but just not a lot, because i don't think jazz/blues really shows much skill because pretty much all they're doing is quick notes with two rules in mind (a) not deviating from the key signature/ time and (b) staying in rhythm/beat. so for me, not very impressive, and im sure im gonna get a bunch of bull crap about this so just save it ok?
does it matter if music is made with much skill or not ? whose counting ? Only thing that matters is does it excite you. It seems you just doesn,t understand the music. Don,t critisise music if you don,t understand it. And don,t reakt if you don,t want to be spoken back to.
i believe i asked people like you to save it....and i stick to that; it's my opinion; deal or not deal; just don't bother filling my inbox with your criticism of my criticism.
Please read up on exactly what jazz is before opening your mouth and sounding like a fool. What about when they don't play in a key. What about the rampant use of modes and extended chord forms providing not just a major or minor sound, but adding 9ths, 13ths etc. to further the possibilities of improvisation over the chords and changes. Plus if you have studied jazz you know you don't play over the key of the chart, you play over the changes jumping in and out of the key constantly. shh you.
Wel i see you like classical music which is strict on all those things and encourages rehearsed virtuosity, these people make it on the spot which takes up lots of talent.and by the way i like classical music as well w
Thank you Coltrane, Dolphy, Tyner, Workman, the one and only Elvin Jones (yes, i play drums... eeeeh everytime i hear elvin i don´t know if i really play drums), and of course, thank you Funkonaut.
I dig it, but (the post-Love Supreme stuff) honestly, it's hard for me to listen to for more than a few minutes. It's just so abstract--and that's cool--but speaking for myself, I need a bit more tangibility. A Love Supreme is my favorite, but I also love Giant Steps. I guess I just need a song more than others, I suppose...
it's good that you would risk putting your opinion out there and it sucks that people are giving you the thumb down just for stating your preference and i think any sensible person reading these would say "there's a person who knows what they like, and can say it without putting someone else's opinion down.
Nice of you to say, but to tell you the truth, if someone in this forum disagrees with my opinion, or puts down my opinion--I don't really care. It's anonymous. And I'm far too old to get into pissing constests with anonymous people.
When I started out on drums, I used to drum along with that entire record. Good practice, sticks, brushes, mallets. That record never sounded foriegn to me ever. I only listened to Ascension once. A little too heavy, Meditations and Expression are up there too. My personal favorite is Interstellar Space.

I love classical; especially the genious of beethovens "Variations on a theme" (all of them) and anything by mozart (don giavonni; queen of the night from magic flute) and the closest thing i'll touch to jazz is gershwin's clarinet solo from "rhapsody in blue". i suggest you check my page for what i like.

Seems to me that you don't like improvised music or maybe it's the extended harmony that puts you off ...hum...what about Ravel's " Le tombeau de couperin" or Debussy or Stravinsky, or even Gunther Schuller's Third Stream Stuff...those are good starting points...that you may connect with...Or perhaps Pat Methey Group & Keith Jarret's Köln concert (since it seem that you're really into melody). Are you familiar w/ them?

Puffs just doesn't know shit about music. I listen to classical music too, but i'm open for everything. Drum and Bass, Metal, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Bossa Nova everything. Puff with Man lotion just is a narrow minded motherfucker. Why does he even take the time to comment on this video if it doesn't move him one bit?

I looked up Puff's page, he's a13 yr-old kid who's a Mozart-head...I actually wrote to him a few suggestions (Ravel, Stravinsky,Keith Jarret,Pat Metheny Group), as to open him up and ease him into music that deals w/ complex harmony, but still contains "beautiful Melodies" so that he may start to grasp some of it, and perhaps begin to understand Jazz...when I was his age I probably wouldn't have "gotten" Trane & Dolphy , but at least I kinda dug Pat Metheny & " jazz chords". Peace, man

I didn't know that he's 13. Shouldn't have been so harsh i guess. I got into jazz when i was 13, almost 14.

Yes..Very nice and hard going..Mr.Coltrane had some kind of magic in his sax..I don´t know anybody else,who got so much power in sax sound.

Elvin and John are "Killing" They spanned many clones who still don't get the point of the music.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
i like SOME coltrane but just not a lot, because i don't think jazz/blues really shows much skill because pretty much all they're doing is quick notes with two rules in mind (a) not deviating from the key signature/ time and (b) staying in rhythm/beat. so for me, not very impressive, and im sure im gonna get a bunch of bull crap about this so just save it ok?
PuffsPlusWithLotion 3 years ago
does it matter if music is made with much skill or not ? whose counting ? Only thing that matters is does it excite you. It seems you just doesn,t understand the music. Don,t critisise music if you don,t understand it. And don,t reakt if you don,t want to be spoken back to.
yeah i now my English sucks, so what ?

i believe i asked people like you to save it....and i stick to that; it's my opinion; deal or not deal; just don't bother filling my inbox with your criticism of my criticism.
PuffsPlusWithLotion 3 years ago
i did,nt wrote anything in your inbox, and you can fobid people to reakt to things you write here. Stop nagging

They deviate from the key signature constantly, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Please read up on exactly what jazz is before opening your mouth and sounding like a fool. What about when they don't play in a key. What about the rampant use of modes and extended chord forms providing not just a major or minor sound, but adding 9ths, 13ths etc. to further the possibilities of improvisation over the chords and changes. Plus if you have studied jazz you know you don't play over the key of the chart, you play over the changes jumping in and out of the key constantly. shh you.

Wel i see you like classical music which is strict on all those things and encourages rehearsed virtuosity, these people make it on the spot which takes up lots of talent.and by the way i like classical music as well w

I dig it, but (the post-Love Supreme stuff) honestly, it's hard for me to listen to for more than a few minutes. It's just so abstract--and that's cool--but speaking for myself, I need a bit more tangibility. A Love Supreme is my favorite, but I also love Giant Steps. I guess I just need a song more than others, I suppose...

it's good that you would risk putting your opinion out there and it sucks that people are giving you the thumb down just for stating your preference and i think any sensible person reading these would say "there's a person who knows what they like, and can say it without putting someone else's opinion down.
PuffsPlusWithLotion 3 years ago
Nice of you to say, but to tell you the truth, if someone in this forum disagrees with my opinion, or puts down my opinion--I don't really care. It's anonymous. And I'm far too old to get into pissing constests with anonymous people.

wow. i'm new to jazz, and this makes everything else I've listened to (1960's rock) sound like garbage

When I started out on drums, I used to drum along with that entire record. Good practice, sticks, brushes, mallets. That record never sounded foriegn to me ever. I only listened to Ascension once. A little too heavy, Meditations and Expression are up there too. My personal favorite is Interstellar Space.

Yo interstellar is the shit. I mean Venus is just one of the most beautiful songs ever. saturn and jupiter are bomb too.
