Youtube is really amazing in the sense that no matter how beautiful and pure the content, people always have something to prove in the comments.

And yes indeed, Coltrane was just a person, like you and me, but unlike you and me, he managed, without really wanting, to influence hundreds of sax and jazz players while he was still alive. To this day, he keeps influencing people, like me, to play, even though my band does not play jazz, nor do I play sax (I play trombone).

Hi cisum, I do really appreciate your comment to me.

When one is down and out in the doldrums with nowhere to go, one sometimes messes up.

I Love John Coltrane!

Best wishes to you.

This is from a concert in Auditorium Maximum, Berlins Freie Universitat, Berlin, West Germany, November 2, 1963. Other tunes played: Naima, Chasin' the Trane, My Favorite Things, Afro Blue, Cousin Mary and I Want to Talk About You.

Issued on "Afro Blue Impressions" (Pablo Live 2620 101) And, of course, Elvin Jones (drums) was present :)

@guyleclairemusic If John Coltrane can be so f.... boring, why not listen to some other artist instead of complaining about a person who's been dead for more than 40 years? It might be true that the whole music business is f'd, but why complain here.

[Saxotomitry]

Trane's sound is so full and rich in this, so good.

Yeah Mpournouzis, it's modal, the real book says the solo's are in Cmin, obviously it does a bit more than that in this recording, but that's the way modal is supposed to be.

[MPOURNOUZIS]

modal jazz?
