John Coltrane Chim Chim Cheree Half Note 1965 Part 3

Final Section. Amazing performance. I guess Impulse! left it out of their last Half Note package since the *IDEA* of Coltrane playing Chim Chim Cheree is Lame, considering it's a Julie Andrews song, and Coltrane already played "My Favorite Things." It's kind of the "Stuff White People Like" logic of leaving it out. This performance would have been the highlight of the CD set.

more playing on the 'love supreme' motive. surprised impulse left this off the halfnote release

[opinioninflicting]

I caught that too. I think it's like I said in the description. Sales are all based on the track listing. Even reviewers only half-seem to actually listen to it. Kind of disturbing that even less people like great art than pretend to!

I don't buy your argument about the omission of this track from the lastest Impulse! Half note release. Maybe you should ask Ravi Coltrane, who produced what I believe is the last Impulse! release("One Up One Down"),why this track was not included.Your "Stuff White People Like" comment is biased towards trying to create stereotypes I don't think has anything to do with music.I wonder if this Chim Chim Ree recording is any more or any less intense than the 27 minute "One up One Down" exploration.

look that's superficially possible, but they included a 29 minute "My Favorite Things" where the second Coltrane solo is totally excluded (it was never recorded), to the tragedy of art. It's horrible. This is like the My Favorite Things solo that doesn't exist. That horrible "My Favorite Things" is all cocktease. "Ask Ravi Coltrane"? The rich kid who wants to keep being rich? I get nothing out of loving John Coltrane, it's me you should be asking.

@opinioninflicting A million thanks for posting this. I have no idea wtf Impulse is smoking. All this unreleased music is a goddam disgrace. And if Ravi's part of it he's a goddamn disgrace too, a disgrace to his mother and esp. his father. Bravo to you.

Comparing John Coltrane to the Beatles is about as intelligent as comparing

Miles Davis to the Tokyo Hotel...

I love Liebman...but this is a whole other level.

@adsicks Jimmy Page is great! And I'm sure John Coltrane would have said so. Late 60s rock guitarists were closer to Coltrane's aesthetic than most fusion guitarists were. Jimi Hendrix wasn't as great a guitarist as Coltrane was a saxophonist, but he also died at 27.

@SaxmanNateEarthsong I need people who look at the lead player.

The thing that drives me crazy about so called "stuff white people like" is that when i start to get down on my horn really good the other musicians stop playing progression and just start playin all spaced out like in this piece and it drives me absolutely mad, cause when the count comes back around and it is time to go back to progression they are out in space for 15 minutes. so i start honking at them to get their attention and they just think i am gettin even more spacey i don't get it!
