Thank God for John Coltrane.

[lljtam1960]

And I thank John for making God clearer. His music encouraged me to go within and purify. His infinite explorations into his humble, Godlike nature light the way for all of us to be strong as we strive to work unceasingly as John did, and to live God's love, as John and other great masters did (and still do).

The jury is still out for me on the existence of an omniscient super being so I thank evolution for throwing JC (John Coltrane, that is) onto the plain of human artistic endeavour>>>a ground-breaking session that changed the face of jazz with it's tone poem inspired by Africa brought together on a continental scale>>>profound, beautiful, essential music for all time

if god threw a party is heaven you can bet Coltrane is wailing away centre state

[Othman1216]

Up to now NO one I mean NO one even in the highest circle of American Jazz musicians, how John coltrane could blow out some unic sounds of Saxo. Because

any human being can either drink water or breath air, never both at the same time now Coltrane did both at the same time but with his Saxo. Karim Casa Morocco

@lljtam1960 i actually thought people fighting about genres was the most annoying thing in youtube comments. you sir, have surpassed that.

My god, how much could a full orchestra have added to such sublimeness?

[MsFrancois1]

simply amazing. coltrane's time with babatunde olatunji was well spent for exposing him to African music

This is (one of) John´ s ultimate(s). Had the original on vinyl; have moved to a foreign country and was forced to give all my vinyl´s away; to one of younger generation who will ensure this music lives! Have gotten my hands now on reissued CD! !Viva la musica!

@glg20decoy damn right, the Honesty! thousands and thousands of sax players studying and copying him, but how do you copy a soul? we're lucky to be able to listen to this music.
