This is what John Coltrane's landmark tune and solo look like when they come to life on paper.

If you try to play along, you may notice that the transcription for the head is transposed for C and the solo's in Bb. Weird, I know, but the transcription book that I based this animation on was in concert.

  • @69atomheart Not true, look at Roy Hargrove, James Carter, and Joshua Redman, they are all fantastic

  • que viagem *-*

  • When's the drop?

  • This man has an infinite number of lungs...

  • I am dissapointed that the notes are at the ending...

  • I loved the part where he did that eighth note lick that went up and then down, yeah that part was the shit. But actually it was really cool to see how repetitive Coltrane could be and get away with it, that repeating ascending but descending chromatic lick every time in the same two chord sections just altered a little bit.
