John Coltrane - My Favorite Things

[JohnThompson677]

All a bit Emperor's new clothes to me. So many off key notes and loss of rhythm it leaves me cold

[Ldm0320]

This video makes my heart sing. Does that sound corny? I don't care. This is music at its best.

[fotteec07]

love it! love it!

[Lollop82andherdad]

Really cool beginning!!! Coltrane rocks!!

[rdjesq8010]

Incredible!!

[surkovbenji]

I met a friend in austria recently and he said he couldn't stop listening to this song one song from coltrane, it was one of my best friends who I havent seen in ages. I couldn't have agreed more, I felt the same..

[ikuvic]

marvellous, i love it....

[whm5609]

True brilliance...

[birkar]

flute player seems afraid of the song.

[toicannon]

COLTRANE or Trane, the names says it ALL!!!

[TheBarneyford]

An incredible piece of music I have loved this track for years

[willy1986tralara]

this is magic

[zeemba123]

HEAVEN: A DARK SMOKY JAZZ CLUB. A BOTTLE OF SINGLE MALT SCOTCH AND JOHN COLTRANE.

[Abracadabra418]

i think thats what makes it kinda cool that hes not just sticking to the major scale on the flute solo but sometimes goin sorta chromatic

[superkulmedkniv25]

The flute was way out there, but it sounded great.

[vjr97]

ive clicked on several videos and u tube takes me soem other place.

[subg88]

Got to laugh at people critiquing this incredible genius...

[squeezewilson9]

I'm cool on that flute!  He had too many ugly moments in there

[contigo121]

Genius!

[garryhayne]

The flute is not flat!

[LifeLearner28]

5 people need to get slapped for disliking this masterpiece

[SANNAFABICH]

@LifeLearner28 Well I'm not so crazy about this particular piece. IMO the bassline is lost when it could have maintained the beautiful melody from the original song and still have the jazz swing.

[0live0wire0]

@SANNAFABICH i really love the bass line. It gives a shamanic feel of mysticism to the whole thing. Btw Eric Dolphy is great, not his best performance here i think but he has a distinctive style and contributed well.

[patuca87]

who´s the pianist? it´s incredible..

[caviannicuruso]

@patuca87 McCoy Tyner

[Lucithus]

@patuca87 McCoy Tyner

[saxist995]

gah! the flute is flat!!

[zeemba123]

@saxist995 THE ONLY THING FLAT IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S CHEST AND YOUR HEAD.

[jazzygc]

Simply, the best!

[markmarktarmann]

eins festival thank god for german tv jazz archives!! Gott sei Dank! mark Ff.M.

[coxachemar]

They are all incredible but Jones is the tree and Coltrane is the wind

[markmarktarmann]

@coxachemar and garrison's the earth and eric dolphy is endless space and they are standing in Eternal light baby.believe it.

[TheHabsfan1993]

Un-FUCKING-believable!!!!!!!! Coltrane is the KING!!!!

[IAMME000]

Coltrane's music is the sexiest thing known to man.

[silksilk777]

The piano player is playing with lots of energy- this band is playing as if they are one body. Each person playing is telling story through their instrument.

[CunvongFamily]

Love love love... It lulls me to a good place.

[witchcraftlord]

the flute is drowning out the rest of the band, i wonder what key they are in ?hahaha

[markmarktarmann]

@witchcraftlord E

[witchcraftlord]

@markmarktarmann it was a joke, they do not stay in E minor the whole time, the music modulates to other keys ,

[thebirdtrane]

This is definitely one of my favorite things!

[MrStefanakiss]

the last week sucked, searching work with no response. Now a hear that wonderful music and I am so noreason HAPPY!

[Sniz420]

whos on flute?

[KalashnikoV247]

@Sniz420 Eric Dolphy. Wonderful solo, isn't it?

[sidneypall]

@Sniz420 Eric Dolphy is on flute ;-)

[chriss1152]

this is why he is my favorite saxophone player

[vernonr100]

this Coltram jam in a classic for all times...this is truly the best version.

[wandrestar1982]

I want this jewel as the soundtrack at my funeral :)

[vclebs]

I love this version !! (more tremolo, more 'ease', more playing)

;)

Did u know when and where is it recorded ?

[william52648]

Check Elvin...

[popsaka1]

...oh yes! ...1961 when I first landed and this is why I stayed....

[mephystovals]

words can't describe the awesomeness

[superkulmedkniv25]

If i had a time travel machine, this is the first place i would go

[3556111]

@superkulmedkniv25 I definitely agree with you on that one.

[BeerHombre]

@superkulmedkniv25

express ticket on the cooltrain

[radstainforth]

Excellent!

[MassimoMagee]

Dolphy!



[hygeiarx1]

get the coltrane video with this sound on it and treasure it for life

[theurbanmusicologist]

4 people are dead

[wallace1956p]

Melhor saxofonista Dave Brubeck ? E o inao , quem tocava: Bobby Mcferrin ?

[primusmrknowitall]

beyond brilliant

[blkchk]

4 people don't have a favorite thing.

[ulrichborowka]

is this newport 1963?who is the drummer?



[nebilism1]

@ulrichborowka no this was broadcast on a german television show

[nebilism1]

@ulrichborowka no this was boradcast on a german television show, the drummer is elvin jones

[budbass19]

yea...im convinced vevo is disliking these videos...only possible explaination!

[JKing01283]

this is one of my favourite songs by John Coltrane. Pure Genius! This song is soo epic!!!

[markdevisser1987]

Hagrid: You're a wizard, John.......

[polymath7]

Good God, this is truly extraordinary.

If forced to choose the single greatest musical performance ever recorded, I dare say it would be this. Given a but single choice, this is what I would have put on the Voyager Golden Record (this, or Gould's performance of 'Der Kunste Der Fugue').

[dantean]

To this day, my feelings about Dolphy remained, well...mixed.

[beautifulopusoflove]

Elvin Juss Lookin Like a Boss. Look At Him, Lookin Like A Boss.

[madmarcus1970]

How do 4 people dislike this? Must be children.

[dantean]

@madmarcus1970 It's usually best to ignore the dislike column. Actually, even reading the comments should be done at one's own risk, as there are TOO many fools in this world and reading an ignorant comment can f up your day for hours! Just my opinion....

[SuperMegaMantus]

@madmarcus1970 Not necessarily. I'm 18 and I listen to jazz since I was 15.

[mcmike100]

A seer, a sage, a soprano sax

[MARSIO100]

6:31 Who's there? 6:39 Here he comes... 6:44 "Excuse me"

6:48 ...I'm outta here.

[markdevisser1987]

@MARSIO100 Hahaha, but the drummer in my band does that too, so maybe drummers can see ghosts :P

[RATM44]

Don't stop the TRANE !

[TheBorealisMan]

This is an amazing song. Coltrrane was better than Miles

[LMORAES64]

Começando muito bem a sexta-feira. John Coltrane, safra 1961.

[rusbid]

this is not the video of the music you are hearing. what you hear was recorded at Newport Jazz Festival and has Roy Haynes on drums, not Elvin. His crisp drumming gave this a unique flavor different from Elvin. not better, but different. this was always one of my very favorites and i think beats the original quartet recording. plus we have dolphy on flute, and McCoy Tyner's solo is really hot.

we need more accuracy in here!

[electioneer1313]

@rusbid Are you saying the music is overdubbed onto the video from another performance? Cause it all lines up...

[russellb60]

@electioneer1313 it's roy haynes on drums and the video shows elvin. it does look like it lines up pretty good.

[amh1971fx]

@rusbid...... No way man..... watch Elvins snare hand and his hats !!! Elvin played crisp also ! check at 9:43 Open your eyes Its not an overdub !

[russellb60]

@amh1971fx you may be right. i say.

[3811iberis]

This is class, an cool personified, you rap clowns just don't know, Coltrane could've taught you a thing or two about "real swagger", but his was done with dignity, honor, an respect, not arrogance, buffoonery, an flat out stupidity. This is from 1961, and Coltrane soon after passed, at the relatively young age of 40 in 1967, although this one will always be my favorite piece from him, God only knows what more great music we never got to hear him do, R.I.P. "Trane", your rest is well deserved...

[SaintMarijuana]

@3811iberis Listen to Juggaknots - "Trouble man" before you decide to voice your opinion on what you think Hip Hop is. I think he'd appreciate the swagger these guys have . Investigate before you pass judgment on things you know nothing or little about. His influences still reach us to this very day and will continue into the future . Brilliance never dies, only gets developed and expanded.

Glad your the Coltrane historian too, appreciate that.

[3811iberis]

@SaintMarijuana - Dude, I said rap clowns, not hip hop, I know the difference, believe me. Jugganots is obviously not a part of the mainstream rap genre, I know plenty about hip hop, probably more than you, so pump your brakes before you try an advise me on what I should give my opinion on, you know nothing about me. Genuine hip hop an mainstream rap is like comparing light to dark, hip hop is not popular today with the masses, this rap bulls**t is, with these talentless rap artist of today...

[cnd886]

this is many Coltrane tunes on my Requiem Play list when I die

[petgerco]

There are three people on the planet who don't see the wonder of this rendition?

[DavilaAmor]

I love this song! In fact, the whole album is a Love Supreme! lol Thanks for posting this!

[LillyC68]

Pure magic... thanks for posting,

Lilly

[satchmo0502]

Love the theme !

[got2bme619]

gotta give it to coltrane...

[ILoveToScrub]

I have left explicit instructions that if I am ever to be in a coma, this music MUST be played at my bedside 24hrs/day. if this does not bring me out then nothing will. When I die I want this to be played at my funeral.

[Kraehe]

Everytime when I listen to this particular song, I know everything is fine, that it MUST somehow be fine and the way it was meant to be, otherwise music such as this couldn't exist.

[lesmiralha]

this is pure poetry, transcending culture and time

who can possibly be unscathed after touched by these notes?

[artyi23]

Lo siento me confundi....... I'm Sorry...

[ramyunfl]

1 person must have had a spasm and misclicked the like button...

[mariamartag]

Wayne Shorter too!!!

[maristela1968]

The most sublime moment ever in music history.

[isyoulame]

this is a great sounding recording the best i found

[flo43223]

I love you tube.

[MateusTTTT]

This is all superb, but McCoy Tyner here is astonishing!

[fgalizia]

la flauta suena desafinada ¿no?

[v3r0n1c4mex]

GREATTT! what a guy!

[acerflots]

WEW dwarsfluit jazz!! Wat vet! Kende alleen van Focus

[djbelac]

You've been an inspiration to me and to many others of my generation.

Happy Birthday John Coltrane :)

[MoeGreensRightEye]

Is that Julie Andrews on drums?

[soicanspeak]

@MoeGreensRightEye NO. It's Elvin Jones.

[MateusTTTT]

McCoy is beast! That piano solo is simple compared to others he played, but it just feels great!

[musikpup28]

this song has an owner and his name is coltrane

[STELLA9950]

This is my favorite all time song that I can listen to everyday and not get bored with it,

This song taught my girls to nap and listen.

[UKromany]

sounds like elvin's building a shed back there!

[TheUnknownTribe]

some of my favorite things are searing rolling Saxophone notes. Percussive yet melodic piano. The Melodic yet perfect rhythm of the drums. The beauty of a flute fantasy. And steady rolling and popping bass lines...

[mauryc85]

best piece of music.

ever.

[william52648]

If you don't know "Trane"...you should introduce yourself ...I am sure, you will find him to be a very likeable fellow ! And Eric Dolphy and his other friends, too...

[rlawton002]

Man it woulda been great to see Trane and Dolphy live into his 80's.

[matislennon]

i never thought that the sound of music would lead me to coltrane ♥

[Upritebass]

@matislennon How do you get that heart on your post like that?

[matislennon]

@Upritebass you've got to press alt+3... with different numbers you get different characters ☺♫♪☼►◄↕

see ya

[Upritebass]

@matislennon bummer. I guess it's not built into my puter. Thanks anyway!

[indieindy]

Genious!

[theviewermonique]

i've never heard any one else do this song better

[joesantamaria8lyv]

mad props to elvin jones. this clip is a masterclass in jazz time, taste, independence, feel, everything. wow.

[Marphis]

Am I really the only who is always blown away by Elvin Jones' work? I never see or hear other people comment on him.

Surely Trane and McCoy Tyner are downright heroes but I want to give the drummer some praise for his finishing touch.

Man, that crazy rhythms!

[glassbreaker5791]

@Marphis man, i don't know where you're looking, I know tons of people who praise the shit out of Elvin. he's the master. pretty much every teacher i've ever had looks up to him as though he were god.

[Marphis]

@glassbreaker5791

I was control+F-ing and searching for Elvin Jones in the comments but yeah, I was the first one to even type his name here.

[glassbreaker5791]

@Marphis damn. thats surprising. in any case, elvin's the best.

[Upritebass]

@Marphis You're right. It's a vital part of the overall spiritual experience.

:-) this is not just music. I'm in heaven right now.

[Champloo321]

I find it sickening that Kenny G fans prefer his version...

[jedijenkeez45]

is coltrane playing a soprano here???

[ibelieveinchaos]

not possible to talk while listening to this. just keep listening

[mistershadetv]

I was never a fan of the original verrsion. But his version is magic. When i first saw it i immediately bought this version plus a 20 minute version of this song when he was in Stockholm. Unfortunately I lost the CD during my stay in Spain.

Thank you so much for uploading!!

[artyi23]

me gusta es muy bonita y es interesante

los mejores saxfonistas fueron o son John Coltrane,Dave Brubeck,Paul Desmond y Charlie Parker.

El mejor pianista para mi es Duke Ellington.

es muy chida la musica Jazz

[zandingas]

@artyi23 A menos que haya cambiado de instrumento, D. Brubeck toca piano.

[bluebill0124]

@artyi23 Dave Brubeck es pianista!

[wastedninjadude]

@artyi23 Dave Brubeck no es una saxfonista.

[Cushinho]

@artyi23 Tronco: Dave Brubeck es pianista. No sé qué tal tocaba el saxo, pero seguro que hay mejores saxofonistas que él.

[saxofonalto090987]

@artyi23 dave brubeck es pianista y te falto stan getz en el saxo

[MrPianoguitar]

@artyi23 es muy extraño que no incluyas a sonny rollins y lester young o ben webster que es uno de mis favoritos

[leandrobispo]

@artyi23 Dave Brubeck is a pianist..

I love John Coltrane, Desmond and Charlie Parker

[downup0]

What a great video! I am in tears to finally see my favorite songs played by my favourite muscicians finally in video... Not the best prestation/sound quality, and not a fan of Dolphy here but still fabulous music!!

I love Tyner's solo! (in the studio version it is like the best thing I have ever heard)

[fern33nan33]

andreat.noronha@terra.com.br

[denderaryuu]

とても素晴らしいです。

[rioblanco]

On bass....Reggie Workman.

[quickstr]

What a journey,talented men

[zombiesaredudes]

it's pretty easy to find god. you just need to go to a record store and ask for "john coltrane".

[Superphilipp]

"A seer , a sage, a mystic. All these and more was John Coltrane."

He was one of the greatest musicians of the last century. Why can't we just keep it at that?

[dn4cer13]

Best quartet ever!! They compliment each other perfectly!!

[masqualero09]

I could listen to this tune hundred millions of times and never get fed up...

John, Elvin, Mccoy, Jimmy and Eric.. LEGENDS

[nadirsharav]

love the soprano sax

[Vacantstance]

The run at 2:06 takes my breath away every time....wow.

[zypherax]

I think Jazz really was the epitome of music.

[joeylodes]

2:07 -  2:11 amazing every time i hear it!

[kornofolia]

Amazing! I find it very "spiritual" actually....Thank you for uploading my friend!!

[AnsaralZindiqi]

@kornofolia No problemo.

[diskochimp]

Stunning!

[JordanSiwek]

The ultimate legend

[mikezes]

What a classic! What a man! We miss your influence, John! You are not forgotten!!!

[godfather12m]
