The weird thing is, the first time I heard this song, I immediately thought about the 16th Street bombing, and that was even before I knew what the song was about. The slow parts are just so ghostly... Trane's intentions are so clear, in the way that he interpreted his thoughts into music... I don't know, the man's just brilliant.
Garrison is perfectly audible at this moment through headphones. lowgrau is correct to say that in later concerts Garrison was squeezed out by Coltrane and Sanders (listen to the mono recordings of "Live in Japan" for proof). Indeed Tyner left the group because he felt squeezed by the double sax assautl. Anyone this is wonderful and especially poignant on the fifth anniversary of 7/7
I've only recently begun to listen to Jazz (particularly Coltrane) out of its assignment in one of my classes, but I find that I can't get enough of it! Coltrane rocks in a way that I can only say the pioneers of Rock do. He has often been compared to Hendrix, if I'm not mistaking, and I could come up with a better comparison.

Man, John Coltrane is missed. He was revolutionary with that sax and the movement of his sound. A legacy...

I believe I must point out that as impressive as John Coltrane is, he would be nothing without his quartet.

yea, you're just wrong, sorry.

@donotclickonthis
it is true that his solo sax is admirable, but at least you can say that his quartet makes a lot of his/their songs the classics that they are.

A very sad song reflecting on a very sad tragedy...

Having heard this band many, many, as much as I could, times, you could never hear the bass player.
In the last years, Trane gave Garrison about 15 minutes in front of the set, because you'll never hear him again.
