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.

This video is outstanding! But you're so wrong for not following the piano solo man!! HAHAHA. Love it though. Absolutely great job on the animated notes following the solo!
This is fantastic stuff. I should be working on a paper for school right now, but I'm fascinated by this song and enjoying following the notes visually. Man, Coltrane is truly in a class all his own.
@HendrixcommaMartin It's probably because the head is what the majority of musicians would care about when reading a transcription, so it's in concert key. But only tenor sax players, in Bb, would actually play from the solo.
That's ridiculous. Only tenor sax players would actually care about the solo? Do they only publish the omnibook in Eb? A tenor player isn't any more likely to want to play the solo than any other instrumentalist.

The piano player gets totally roasted!
The Jazz police should be all over him for that.
