John Coltrane - Compassion

A John Coltrane hommage with one of his best and most passionate compositions.

There's a lot of reasons to upload this video, but the only one who came up to my mind right now is because i never heard anyone play the saxophone the way he plays it, in perfection and passion.
John became my biggest musical reference.
so... this is my way to say THANKS JOHN!!!

Grief, and it's counterpart, Compassion; only Coltrane could express such deep emotion in this stunning composition. Listen to this when you've just lost something very special in your life.

@inagaddadavita compassion is not only grief's counterpart: it is necessary for daily life if man is to have dignity, it is where kindness and all that is good in man arises from. trane's music from this period always sounded ecstatic and fiery to me, not mournful. sorry for your loss though, yes, catharsis such as this helps,
