I was born to a father who was a lifelong student of Jazz. By age five or six my learning began. Hes gone 20 years but he left me the gift of realizing Jazz is a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and development of a deeper appreciation of the art. Thanks Dad .i love you.
Understandable sentiment, but greatest as far as what? In their respective grooves, the quartets of Kenny Garrett, Charlie Parker, Oscar Peterson (with Clark Terry or Roy Eldridge), Benny Goodman original, or Sidney Bechet (with James P Johnson, Baby Dodds and Pops Foster) have to be right up there as well...
Their bodies are playing hard and sweating but their souls are free and floating above their bodies. I'm a musician and this is my favorite reason for free improvisation. The liberation of the human soul. Few have done it better than these guys.
Everytime i watch this i cry. I think this is the most beautiful performance ive ever seen. I feel I am watching divine emergence into matter. Deep bow to Saint Coltrane,Jones,Garrison and Tyner❤
Literally four pistons going off at the same time. Truly one of the best quartets of all time. Been over three years since the loss of McCoy Tyner, the last survivor to die in the John Coltrane quartet.
Vehement agreement with all the previous comments; just want to add an appreciation for the camera work and editing of this masterpiece which documents the astounding heights of soul, humanity, and expression that Trane and this iconic quartet achieved in the '60's, setting an Olympian marker for generations to emulate.
The very best musicians feeding on each others' energy... Superbly played... Perfectly recorded... sound and camera. History was made... John Coltrane... the bird. .. McCoy Tyner - a legend
The greatest modal player in jazz, only rivaled by, heh, McCoy Tyner. Miles set the table for fusion, but Coltrane''s influence was enormous in progressive and avant garde rock. Both Allan Holdsworth and Christian Vander cried, were gutted for weeks after his death. And you feel the spirit of Coltrane in Allan, conjugating all the harmonies.
I always love how Jimmy Garrison singing his bassline while he plays can be louder than his bass at times. But him and Elvin Jones, what a rhythm section
Coltrane is a minister unconcerned about popularity from his congregation. Speak the faith! Also, there's nothing more musical than this anywhere. The capping of the whole development out of Armstrong's hot five, right here.
I was so sad this video was taken down!!!!! Thank you for reuploading! This is my favorite concert of all time and this video needs to be saved for the world to see…. This night the coltrane quartet ripped a hole through time and space and transferred everyone a vibrational wavelength to tune into in order to be immersed in the great astral plane….
The dude that claimed the last video doesn't own the copyright, just a self-important TH-cam channel owner. That prat fuck better not strike any more archived jazz recordings illegitimately to boost his own views
Toute la rancoeur d'un homme, au coeur blessé, transformé en beauté musicale. Musique puissante qui porte bien des stygmates. John et les autres ont eu des vies très difficiles... Gadam Mississippi, for exemple.NS. Ainsi, les voilà guerris ( pour un temps) ❤😢
All around Europe. Belgium, Paris, Copenhagen etc. I was so fortunate to be a student there, and everybody could afford a ticket. A wonderful time in cultural history.
I went back to '65 ,hoping , waiting to see Coltrane on the bill at the Austin Jazz Festival . Miles replaced him when he pulled out . His band, though inventive with Handcock , Shorter, and Tony Williams, were still playing versions of the sets Miles played with Trane. Coltrane kept moving till he couldn't move anymore.
thank you so much for bringing back this absolute masterpiece on youtube! they made inspiring their way towards the end! where he left the stage for some ....... and let everybody hear what unbelievable excellent musicians he played with! and then when John came back on stage everything came together, wich was just fenomenal! i wished i was there in Belgium 1965! John Coltrane Quartet brings you into ecstasy🔥🙏♥️
I'm learning the first piece of music on Alto Saxophone and holy mackerel lol, I can't tell if he free formed the notes or intentionally played it that way..love you John Coltrane your music lives forever 🎶
A bit of both. He was absolutely meticulous about scales and was known for practicing nonstop even when warming up for concerts and was using the Fibonnaci Sequence to try and talk to God (whether intentional or not) but he was also just spraying notes out like a Tommy Gun at times. No one could ever call him one-dimensional that's for damn sure!

Theres a new kid, guitarist, plays modern Country Rock with Govt Mule ...Marcus King. Anyway, he stopped playing a couple of years ago to get a degree in Music Theory. He says in interview, if he could play his guitar the way John Coltrane played his Sax. Thats a compliment. Shows how far Tranes influence reaches . If you listen to this kid, youll hear a bit of Coltrane in his playing.
A religious experience! This is way beyond jazz....Gospel gone cosmic! The second half of My Fav.is the most intense music ever recorded.How much music can four humans make? Elvin is basically soloing the entire time. Humble Trane never even looked up. One question...what keeps his horns from flying apart in his hands?
fair question! this video is actually a re-up of the original which had the same title of live in belgium. but i do believe this performance took place there, at comblain-la-tour in 1965.

Damn
Coltranes solo after McCoy's first solo gave me goosebumps
Probably the best quartet ever in the history of jazz
one of the soo many
I agree and have said so for decades, the greatest Quartet ever, followed by the George Adams/Don Pullen Quartet.
Brotzmannsax. Ha, I saw Peter Brotzmann with his quartet at the Bracknell Jazz Festival sometime in the 1970's@@brotzmannsax

Je suis tout à fait d'accord.

400 ans !
No one has done it better.
This isnt free improvisation at all
Everytime i watch this i cry. I think this is the most beautiful performance ive ever seen. I feel I am watching divine emergence into matter. Deep bow to Saint Coltrane,Jones,Garrison and Tyner❤
I also think it's the best one I've seen.
by the end of 'my favorite things' I literally felt like I was in another place. somewhere far, very far.
of course, i wonder how the audience felt !
You were in another place...
My god McCoy Tyner.
He actually upstaged Coltrane?? Amazing. Coltrane realized it and let him go.
Unbelievable
He makes you think that three people are playing the piano. Amazing.
JC tapping into The Universe.
Yes, he was.
Literally four pistons going off at the same time. Truly one of the best quartets of all time. Been over three years since the loss of McCoy Tyner, the last survivor to die in the John Coltrane quartet.
No matter how many times I watch this performance, I’m still amazed by it…
At the 24:00 minute, McCoy does NOT let us forget the fact that the piano... is still a percussion instrument!
I'm Blessed knowing that I was on this Earth for two years with John Coltrane.
Absolute brilliance in every way. This is America being great.
well stated
Elvin was damn near jumping out of his seat to hit those licks on the bass drum! Damn brother, you were the best!...
John Coltrane and Elvin Jones.. a match made in heaven...
Superb musicians.

60's Berlin sounds like it was the place to be. So many legendary musical acts performed there

John Coltrane is the best saxophonist.
This is absolutely insane. Try to replicate this on a sax.
its impossible.
Something equivalent! 7:24
ジャズ初心者ですが、惚れました。音よりも先に魂が来る。最高ですね。

One of the best quartets ever! Thank you for sharing this live performance and blessing us with this masterful performance.
Ugh! Complete and utter fire. Relevant forever.
Covered in pearls and wisdom!
20:02 John Coltrane's music makes the earth shake by alternating strong and soft movements 20:02

yes, beautiful song, beautiful rendition

O que é que tem nessa cabeça, irmão ?
its so funny to me how a simple cute musical song was transformed into this goant avant-jazz modal monster
もしかしたら、これがJazzの極北だったのかもしれない。
今に至る迄、Jazzはこれから前に進んではいない気がする。
A Lot Of Cats Couldn't Dig Coltrane Because Of His Improvs! Many Felt Like He Wasn't Playing Anything!
“A Lot Of Cats” need to take the off ramp. The highway to the obvious offers an easy, yet unsatisfying ride…
Is this on spotify?
im not worthy !
今のところ、Bill EvansとChet BakerとJohn Coltraneくらいしか知らないのですが、良ければお勧めを教えてください。
ジャズは魂の糧です。 Grant Green、Oscar Peterson, Brad Mehldau, Ryo Fukui をお勧めします。 :)

Lo-Fi, but good lo-fi
Walt said no to Coltrane on TheJjungle Book
a swing and a miss.. that soundtrack is weak sauce
Disney was a racist POS anyway
"vigil" is a screamo jazz ...
Something about Trane.
Luckiest concert goers...
Our boy on keys th-cam.com/video/5KFklS_jug4/w-d-xo.html
He played his ass off, but what was “legendary” about this particular set?
Additional viewings required for some…
They are evaporating because human anatomy is incapable to manage the effects of creating that level of music.
Nice mess
on croirait que quelqu'un tape avec un marteau contre des caisses de bois
Sorry, but about sixty seconds of Trane is all I can take.
I can barely take this comment
So everybody has to agree with you. Got it.@@bumforwarts
@@jonnelson6446 what makes you say that?
I just find bebop contrived and pretentious. And Coltrane's tone is hard and annoying.@@bumforwarts
