  • Thank you for posting. This is beautiful. Thanks again

  • One of the best bands to ever assemble. The peak of genius at each position, and all as serious as HERE and NOW about what they are doing.

  • Wow this is so beautiful

  • gives me chills...

  • it occurs to me that jazz, or bop at least, always begins with a mood, a motif, and the song usually becomes something completely different, using the melody as only a gathering / returning point. i think the real trick in understanding jazz or players like Coltrane, Dolphy and other new thing players, is digging the feeling in the players , and thus understanding their motivation. Motivation has the word motive in it.

  • Piano: Mc Coy Tyner 

  • Lets not act like hip hop could EVER be compared to what's on this video!!! This is MUSIC!!! Have some respect.

  • Smoooth.

    

  • whos the piano player wooooow

  • @rongeez990918

    Piano: Mc Coy Tyner

  • the sexiest music alive ;)

  • At around 4:50 you begin to see the point where John Coltrane finds himself unable to express himself through the saxophone. The medium of saxophone can no longer express his ideas due to its limited nature. That is a sign of a truly great player.

  • @pieguy314 your so so right bro trane is a fucing genius

  • The piano was so good I actually forgot I was watching coletrane and I was surprised when he came back in..

  • Takes me back to my youth while carrying me off to a beautiful space. Just beautiful.

  • every time I hear the music of John I feel as if a whirlwind of beautiful images passed through my head, beautiful images as his music. John is alive in my heart, John was one of the greatest geniuses of jazz at all times.

  • why did He have to die?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    at least mccoy's still alive...seeing him in a week's time, I'm so excited

  • hrm i will make you doing things

  • hm I just wanna have fun with you

  • god i wish this guy would play at my jazz club

  • If there was a time machine that could go back to this period of time, I'd definitely go back and live during that time...Seems so cool back then. Good music, no sagging bitches with gauges, no shitty rap...

  • @mugen1237

    Why are so many dissing hip hop after watching this music? You don't know good hip hop just like you probably wouldn't have known good jazz back then. I just think it's funny when it's all apart of the same lineage of black music essentially.

  • @restleaded I do listen to good hip hop...lol I never said I didn't know good hip hop. And I think I'd know enough jazz to pass by. lol...

  • Elvin Jones is steamin'

  • People do what they do and nothing can change that. If you like music derived from what you call cretins then that's what they are partial to. Personally I think that Trane is a fully fledged genius but that's only my opinion and this doesn't make it so.

  • Look at McCoy Tyner rip those piano keys with finesse. This stuff is so dope! I love it!

  • mmh I'm just a small town girl looking for some big city fun

  • @madara1221 I know trane can be hard to swallow at first...but don't give up on him. let your ears get used to his out there stuff, even if it takes many listens...you'll be glad you did, i promise.

  • West Liberty Tri-state Select Honor Jazz Ensemble

  • Woooooooooooooooooo

  • As a fellow saxophonist I have to say that i like the beginning and the ending of this song but the part with his conscious 'wrong-playing' bugged me. I know that he wanted to be creative but to me it sounds like just playing random tones and squeakers.

    I was also annoyed by the pianist who just played what came into his mind, not minding the other members of the group.

    I know that this was all done on purpose but it's my own free opinion of this song.

  • @madara1221 ....That is the very point of why Coltrane is so highly regarded. Where YOU would never think to perform what you consider "random tones and squeakers" he on the other hand would and did. He advanced the jazz art form critics be damned. Critics usually come around anyway as they are unlikely to want to be labeled "squares" or behind the curve by the forward thinkers. Coltrane has influenced a generation of musicians or should I say artists.

  • @madara1221 Come on..calling Mcoy Tyner "the pianist" in such a great solo ..hope you are not too serious about it and that it was a first-thaught comment. I suggest that you listen another time, sincerely.

  • @madara1221. Wow, couldn't disagree more, Tyner on piano was clued in tightly with the other percussion instruments throughout, if you listen, and Coltrane's solo around 4:20+ takes the emotion of this song to another plane. That's where it soars, this song of love and devotion.

  • @madara1221 It's just funny most of us were just like you. First times listening to this guy I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Wrong notes every where, but after a million and a half more listens, I'm beginning to understand why someone would WANT to play those notes. As for Tyner, you'll just have to hope you can start learning about all that has come before (Tatum, Monk, Jamal) to understand where he wanted to go.

  • wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This man knew his horn, inside and out. Earl Bostic influenced Trane n he added to it. A subtone B flat to an A, overtone without adjusting his ombiture..WOW.

  • La primera vez que escuche esta cancion tenia 21 años, estudiaba en la universidad y me dije: si alguna vez en este mundo tengo una hija le pondre de nombre Naima, pasaron los años, ya tengo 34, tengo una hermosa hija de 9 años y se llama Naima.

  • @coltranekr

    Permiteme decirte algo mi afortunado amigo:

    Si algun dia tengo una hija, le pondré el nombre de Naima

    Felicidaes.

  • These guys are bakedddddd

  • is that mingus?

  • @LeFruFru NO.

  • @soundwithin SORRY LOL

  • @LeFruFru On bass is Jimmy Garrison.

  • CCC Sezyum Reyiz CCC

    İzin'deyiz.

  • 0:34 is a sort of odd drum beat for a jazz tune i love it.. amazing piano solo too!!!!

  • @MrJadePinwheel You're right that it's odd. This song being classified as a ballad is incredibly odd as well. This song needs its own category. How do you like the E Flat pedal in the bass?

  • @josepharchbold i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought so!! One of the great downfalls of laptop speakers on music is not being able to hear bass, but since you mentioned it, I got my headphones and checked it out, and notice the pedal tone now. I love that these guys put in years of work and study to get to the point of being able to channel the music from somewhere else & make their statements that way, i can't imagine the feeling of what it was like being in this group

  • @MrJadePinwheel Yep, it takes awhile to get to the point where you're not just soloing but you're expressing yourself and how you feel.

  • Comment removed

  • McCoy is pushing the band..

  • I was 16 when this was done and no wonder I love jazz. If only I had seen John live, it would validate many things about music.

    Insane group...

  • Incredible, best musical group in history.. 

  • Elvin is so fuckin good that hes definately on fire here!

  • @danielsili

    if you scramble elvin's name around it will spell "fire."

  • Yeaahh

  • i listen to this song every single night before i go to sleep

  • Comment removed

  • wow....

  • Allan Holdsworth's favorite musician and inspiration. Holdsworth plays Coltrane type melodies on his guitar.

    Long-live *REAL* Jazz Music!

  • wow,, the drummer is steaming,,

  • meanwhile... /watch?v=xGxDS10VAbg

  • @benchbeat hahahha cool xD

  • It's McCoy Tyner on piano

  • Who is on the piano, sorry if it is obvious. I'm just getting into this, if anyone can reply. Cheers.

  • @lizardking392 mccoy tyner, very good pianist!! :)

  • Wonderful song! Really nice to see a video! Coltrane is really talented, one of the best!

  • ...as to 'how far we've fallen'...I wonder. Suspect, based on the # of banal and - in some cases - unlistenable musical forms (I'm referring, of course, to Opera and Country, but there could be others... :-)), my personal belief is that the creative spirit known as jazz is more an anomaly - albeit a welcome and refreshing one - than anything. 'tis also an acquired taste - one which I'm personally glad to have had nurtured, but...for every jazz lover, there are many more who aren't...sadly...

  • @phlyeguy dont get me wrong, i too love jazz, but i know ppl who would label ours as "unlistenable". we're not members of some elite club, let's not get carried away here. and God bless u

  • Naima is always a favorite to relax to after a long day.

  • soo jazzy. it hurts. soooooooo jazzzy. evryones smokin, sweatin'. soo jazzy

  • @PhiyukYu hahahaa..........yea. i dont want no sweatless jazz!

  • Coltrane is stretching that horn to the max!!

  • You can barely grasp this with your mind, it's so amazing.

  • the best sax of all times

  • Genial, de los grandiosos y de los que evolucionaron el jazz y también es unos de los vanguardistas del jazz. Me encanta su Armonía Contemporánea, mis sueños es, tener su escuela. Coltrane que Díos te bendiga y algún día te veré personalmente.

  • Genial, de los grandiosos y que evolucionaron el jazz, es una de los vanguardistas del jazz. Coltrane siempre estará con nosotros.

  • i wish i sounded like him.

  • John and his band are hilariously powerful !!!

  • elvin is steaming with energy...

  • sublime

  • Hey guys, I am a young trombonist looking for more opportunites to learn and advance my career. Check out my webpage! benlupinacci.webs.com

  • so sad that this only has a bit over 1 millions views, needs more like 400 million

  • just plain bad to the bone...

  • AMAZING! look at the body heat coming off of them. True musicians-THIS is music

  • Real music = no synthesizers, no CD players, no nothing. Just soul and sweat.

    .

  • @HipHopkins09 I read the book "Coltrane on Coltrane" which is a collection of interviews he did in which he states: "I just want to play all I can. Sometimes an entertainer just has a certain span of productivity. I hope that never happens to me, but you never know, so I want to keep playing as long as I possibly can."

  • Dang, most views I've ever seen on a jazz vid, lol.

  • @tjc197 Then you haven't seen many jazz vids haha

  • Damn, the most videos I've ever seen on a jazz video, hahahaha.

  • So beautiful and tender and loving!

    This is the music of angels.

    Coltrane was an Angel!

    No exaggeration, he should be recognized as Saint Coltrane because this is proof that he could perform Miracles!

  • @MrRGanja Hey fuckhead, yea, we all dig Coltrane, but Jesus Christ on a crutch, stop sounding like an affected gay queen, you dope! Even if you're a girl it sounds creepy. Actually, do me a favor and get the flying fuck off this page! Cheers, :-D!

  • @PornStarfishScooter Thanks for your tender comments.

    They were so loving.

    It was the comment of angels. You are an angel!

    You should be recognized as Saint PornStarfishScooter because your comment was a beautiful miracle!

    Proust! :-O!

  • @MrRGanja Here here! tschuss!

  • @MrRGanja hahahaha best retort ever

  • The stark contrast between these disciplined yet intensively creative legends and the cretins today wandering the streets with ball caps on backwards and grilles full of bling is incomprehensible. How far we have fallen... :O|

  • @hinodecho69 I think that's a bit harsh. You have individuals making very good music today that may be recognized by later generations as great. And yes, we have 'cretins' who wear caps backwards and produce crap music but i'm sure such individuals existed back then as well. We have to be able to keep things in perspective, yet I agree with your overall sentiment that the caliber of original music being produced in that era is far greater than what we hear now.

  • @hinodecho69 Calm down man. Can't you just appreciate this without putting down other art form? Hip-hop has its geniuses and its "cretins," as you say, like any other genre.

  • @hinodecho69

    I don't see why you have to be so pessimistic.

    People in the Jazz days used to say the same thing about previous generations. A time of less regulations and laws and on and on...

    Go take some LSD, and reflect.

  • @ExtremeBogom Want color tv? Try LSD.

  • @InstrinsicallyCorrec

    Yep, typical...

  • @hinodecho69 It is a de-evolution of music, it is coming full circle I believe. Computers have made it possible for almost anyone to 'write' a 'song'. We have 'musicians' who can't even play live because everything in the studio was altered to be in time and all the mess ups were over dubbed. Back in these days of Coltrane or Davis there was a weeding out of 'shitty' musicians who couldn't perform flawlessly. Simply put they couldn't find work.

  • @hinodecho69 Wtf. Comparing musical legends to random people on the streets. You know there are musical legends today. And there were dirtbags walking the streets in the 60's, I'm sure.

  • @hinodecho69 what you are saying makes no sense. There is no relationship between the two groups of people you are talking about at all. There is a contrast between those people but we haven't fallen. There were people like that then too you know. Great musicians then, and great musicians now.

  • @hinodecho69

    WTF??? You are way off base. We look back at this period of American history with nostalgia because it was the sixties. But many hip hop artists take inspiration from this music and put it into their new form of expression. You just aren't looking for the quality acts out there in the rap world

  • @cod4masterrpgn Go waste time on cod you simple moron

  • @cod4masterrpgn What kind of elavators are you riding?

  • This is beyond music... its its high science ...alchemy... magic. As is all music that flows directly from the soul and the spirirt... THIS SHIT IS HARD JOE !! I 've listened to thiis song about 87 times.....today !!!!

  • I'm loving what each musician is doing but I'm struggling to accept the song as a whole on the more hectic  parts. Maybe it's just a matter of getting the ear used to it. I'm not sure,

  • @MehmTex Hectic parts? Seriously? Get the fuck off this page, idiot!

  • @MehmTex

    That is the beauty of jazz. You are supposed to hear all of the distinct parts. Each musician is in a sort of freestyle. They are feeding off of each other but at the same time they are playing their own separate songs. In rock and roll it is called a jam session. This song is genius.

  • I like this song.

    Since this song is very sophisticated.I feel the musical scene in U.S get late-back with pop music.

  • Out of this world

  • My face melts and my children weep over my exploded body at about 4:00.

    Forget Charlie Sheen. No man has ever been more powerful than John Coltrane. Damn

  • words cant describe the beauty of all of Trane s composition, this is just another example

  • nice

  • Stop the silly textwars & just enjoy a true musical genius.

  • @itisnttoohard I agree Coltrane for my money is the greatest jazz musician of all time.

  • Totally insane-this is music on a different level. I love it.

  • ignore all negative comments,

    and they will disappear

  • Who's the pianist? Thelonious Monk?

  • @MarvinKurzweil It's not Monk it's McCoy Tyner... Monk doesn't play like that - it's different

  • @JRNL75 Thanks.

  • @MarvinKurzweil Mccoy Tyner

  • You all need to shut the fuck up because your diluting a masterpiece of American culture...your arguing over who is the most moronic and ignorant yet you fail to realize that you sound like pretentious douche bags... if you have anything to say keep it positive and about the music

  • L❤Ve iT!

  • this is supreme !!!!

  • McCoy Tyner is still performing. Tyner is one of the few live connections to the 1950's-60's golden age of jazz.

  • Bieber could live 1000 years and never carry Coltrane's lunch. Thank you to poster for this video.

  • There are men and supermen, but indeed these are supermen!!!

  • 0:50-0:59 Thats what its all about, the subtleties. What made them so great is that everything they played had these subtle nuances that made every line seem epic in a sort of way...which they were I might add 'imho'

  • this piece smacks you with the complexity of everything

  • Comment removed

  • Dude's! Sure, you may dislike Kenny G's music (I don't care for it myself) but you can't deny that the cat can play. And comparing him to Trane is stupid. I don't think you should really compare musicians to each other anyway, haha. It's music, not a battle to the death, lololol.

  • Lol, I'm playing this in big band except under an afro-cuban sort of triplet beat. It's insane. Paul McKee is our director. He writes good stuff, lol.

  • Trane is a legend ! ! Nothing more to say

  • wonderful, just amazing !

  • The pianist is Mccoy Tyner, and as usual, he turns in a stellar performence on this piece.

  • if u dislike this video you lack of musical apreciation, sense of deepnes and i pity u cause this is giving me an eargasm right now.

  • Okay, I came here to listen to jazz.. Every morning, I pack a ball , listen to jazz, hot tea ready and a cig. Now I don’t care if bieber sold 10 million records or not. Just don’t mention his name, For jazz is the soul of music to me. The best sex I have ever had was with jazz playing in the back ground, best night out, drunk in a jazz club. If you can’t find it interesting then please just don’t bother with it…

  • The Saxophone is like, the sexiest sounding instrument in the world.

  • @willardlol couldn't agree more

  • @willardlol Though it is a wonderful instrument, i beg to differ the most divine i would say is the Piano.

  • Comment removed

  • @willardlol That made no sense but okay, have a good day

  • @willardlol Hey fago, did you really say "sexiest sounding instrument"? Get the fuck out of Union City & move to SF before they kill you!!! Bwhhahahahaaa, douche bag.

  • @InstrinsicallyCorrec Yes, you did read that correctly, and I'm quite comfortable where I live, actually. Thanks for the concern! :)

  • Holy shit is that steam coming off of him? 1:01

    Takes true jazz to make you sweat steam

  • these folks have been dead for at least 40 years,, death terrifies me

  • Everyone needs to realax and realize that it doesnt matter how you feel about jazz or Coltrane you are never going to convince the other side you're right. But for me I feel John Coltrane will go down in history for being able to show people to see something beyond just musical notes in a pattern.

  • Justin Bieber is just another piece of meat for record companies. It´s all about money. They pay millions of dollars to put his music and his face in everywhere. That way, even a monkey can be a success.hahaha Music is on the last line for this buddy.

    John Coltrane is all about music. Pure music.

  • @Odessa188 the people buy his records thats how they make money and they buy them because the kid has talent! record companies and such do not just pick anybody.

  • @valkour22 not necessarilly. His manager, his record company, they pay to all the media makes people think that. The only thing this kid has to do is posing. He doesn´t write his songs, doesn´t play any instruments, nothing. It´s all about money and posing. For some people, that´s talent.

  • beautiful

  • @VidarDenTavse he was a "n" then what is he today? aGod!!!!

  • @marina9303 I agree!

  • @VidarDenTavse your an ass

  • is this version also published on any record?

  • the band is Elvin Jones on drums, Jimmy Garrison on bass and McCoy Tyner on piano who is by the way the only one still alive and he is still playing

  • who's in the band here?

  • @guitarmachine13 I'd like to know. The pianist is incredible.

  • I wonder... is there a way to block the comments section, so I don't accidently start reading it when watching a video? Why is it no matter what kind of video it is, a fight breaks out in the comments? Or at bests, they should make it so people under 18 can't comment.

  • @aridleyart No, that would definitely NOT be a good idea. What about the VERY small group of teenagers

    who love to listen to this and good old classic rock songs (like me, for example), and who like to discuss about

    this REAL music sometimes? It wouldn´t be fair if we could not make comments.

  • @aridleyart I agree with you completely, but what about the small group of teenagers (like me) who can really appreciate the subtelties of coltrane and tyner. These guys are legends and are playing at a level of musicality that is completely unachievable of today's bullshit artists.

  • @cameronjosephmorris Couldn't agree more

  • Your wrg i took a jazz class like 2 yrs ago and only like 1/4 of people in class knew who this guy was and Every single one knew who JUSTIN WAS!!!! THIS GUY COULDNT SHINE jUSTIN'S SHOE'S!!!! Coltran's albums sold an average 20-30k from when he made them to now! Justins have ALRDY SOLD AN AVERAGE 750K AND THATS IN JUST LAST 2 YRS! LOLOLOLOL. Look up recording sales of both and u will see Justin is this guy's DADDY!!!!

  • @valkour22 Are record sales the end all factor? Has Justin Beiber influenced music theory? I think not. However, John Coltrane has. Look into it.

  • @valkour22 Hey fuckworm, do us all a favor & jump into a tree shredder

  • @InstrinsicallyCorrec You mad cause Justine sold more recoeds at 15 then this bum his whole life????

  • @valkour22 Oh forgive me. I forgot about all of the contributions Justin made for music, and his sheer virtuosity with his instrument. Surely in the future people will remember the great milestone that was Justin Bieber and how he changed music forever. I mean, nobody did pop music before Justin did. He will surely go on as a legend, greater than Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, and Duke Ellington. Or maybe not. You tell me, oh great one with such superior music taste.
