John Coltrane Quintet "Leo" Newport 1966 1/2

Unreleased Recording. AKA "The Father The Son and the Holy Ghost." That's Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophone for most of part 1. It's charming Pharoah Sanders' young relatives search for his videos and comment. He's one of the great musical geniuses of the twentieth century. Obviously! Do you people need a slide rule? I guess every age has its unrewarded geniuses.

I've heard some recent live Pharoah Sanders shit that's absolutely tits, but just listen to Pharoah with Coltrane, that should be sufficient...I mean Paul Mccartney hasn't written anything interesting lately and you don't expect him to, and you still regard him as a genius. This shit Pharoah was playing makes Jackson Pollack look like a pussy.

Monumental, heart-rending, expansive, gorgeous, frightening, freeing, awe inspiring, courageous, melting, heaven, hell, and earth combined. I surrender absolutely completely to this music and to this man

@tranesonic

Yup.

[tranesonic]

@ExtremeBogom on you troll sized tenor sax?

[opinioninflicting]

@groalerable No I actually listened to free jazz players, and it's all talent. Coltrane didn't pick Pharoah Sanders out of a hat--he was literally the best saxophone player in the world, playing in that style. It was like "hardcore acid trip" American Idol.

[ExtremeBogom]

Psh I can play that.

@opinioninflicting

i started listening to this stuff about a year ago...and i wanna know- are these guys, like coltrane, brotzman, and pharaohe the best free jazz players or are they just the famous ones?? like do the encompass free jazz in these 50's/60's recordings?

Coltrane and Sander's version of "Naima" on the Coltrane "His Greatest Years" album has been my personal national album for 36 years, and I like to listen to it loud, and that chaos of the dueling saxes that return to harmony at the end is love. It's a dialectic of love and rage, and a fitting national anthem for this whole militarist nation\. And I say that as an artist and former teenage nuclear weapons technician in the army, 1968-1971. Right on!

Really dig this. I am a great admirer of Trane, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, Listening to them is so inspiring, leaving me with a glad to be alive feeling.
