My God! This doesn’t just go to 11. This thing launches into space and keeps you there for 15 and a half minutes… Elvin didn’t need a solo. This is the perfect free jazz song. God spoke through these men.
Coltrane and Dolphy 1961. The latter ‘s bass clarinet and baritone sax absolute magic. Like his friend gone way too soon. I love LOTS of music but mid 50s- mid 70s new directions never cease to amaze. Ultimate...
this music will live on forever compared to the trash music of today john Coltrane Eric Dolphy Elvin Jones Mcoy Tyner Jimmy Garrison are the true professionals that made music for generations to come
What a track straight from the man's soul, the soul of a genius. In fact words can't describe the soul searching beauty, i could cry. Who needs stimulants when you have music straight from the spirtual plane. God rest John Coltrane :)
John chose to meld Indian music onto his already expanding mix of standards, bop, modal, and straight jazz to create a night of marvelous international improvisation at the Village Vanguard nearly 55 years ago - but so modern still!
From 1960 through the mid 70s, jazz got pushed to its limits. It started here. It could go no farther. It is brilliant beyond words, but impossible to recreate and go past. That is why jazz came back to the back. It couldn't innovate past what Trane and Miles did. They'll be talking about that era like we talk about Beethoven today.
Ah, that part right around 4:05, where he intersperses a dose of Bach in the flurry of notes, it's one of my favorite musical moments of all time and a wonderful little easter egg that some of us may have missed the first time.
yes it is, I needed to listen to it with headphone in order to realize it is an eglish horn... hand down for this man who played with Fletcher Henderson and was able to be effective with Coltrane, too....
I have pulled over to the side of the road to hear Elvin Jones on this more than once. He battles the universe and wins for 12 minutes or so. That's highest praise. How many of us EVER battle the universe and win for ANY amount of time? But he actually balances the universe against his drumming like Archimedes would have done if he could drum.
It wasn't super common for anyone other than Trane. Trane experimented with two basses a lot around this time (live and on albums [Ole/Africa/Brass]). He was fascinated by the texture that it created and said that he was trying to evoke a water-drum-esque sound. It's such an amazing texture! Trane also experimented with things such as having multiple drummers a few years later! Truly a genius!
Workman and Garrison were from another planet. Very different players, so they compliment each other. Workman doesn't get the recognition he deserves. But the old jazz guys from this era, many I was blessed to meet, all talked highly of Workman, like he was "the best."

Beautiful comment
Listen ing to Eric Dolphy will change your view of life

look up George Lane in Jazz

Dolphy was the perfect complement for Trane. True musical soul mates
Trane and pharaoh sanders>
splendide mélodie

The gospel of John
Kevin the great keyboard player?
heaven revealed
Music of the highest possible order
Best thing on TH-cam. Elvin Jones is on fire 🔥
Min 6'40 n forward 🤯
Elvin kill in it for real real !!!!
Yeah boy, this is it. Just about my favorite 'Trane and I'm listening to this guy (thanks to my parents!) for 55 years...

my favorite live album of Coltrane. thank you. hard to get.
"Spiritual" is especially ridiculous.. Almost a Philp K Dick VALIS thing going on.
Beyond words❤.
John Coltrane très bien !
I believe this is a finer version than the one on the original Village Vanguard album.
No question, "Spiritual" also more transcendent on this album.
I don't t think so. Dolphy's solo on the version published on "Impressions" is much better for my ears.

Simply can't get enough of this.
Thanks thanks thanks. Gratitude
I can't imagine what this utterly unique music must have sounded like in 1961.
The same way it sounds now! Utterly unique! The gospel of John

@CrateofStolenDirt toccata and fugue in D minor BWV 565
"Sorry Bach" could be the name of the band.
Nice, very inspiring. One of many from this man.
merveilleux de poursuivre l’ultime,excellence. très bien !
Dolphy 6:35 my God!
vraiment somptueux ...
Super!
YES!!!!!!!
Not for the faint hearted!
The intro played by Garvin Bushell is quite Coltranesque. On 1:54 Coltrane takes over.
yes it is, I needed to listen to it with headphone in order to realize it is an eglish horn... hand down for this man who played with Fletcher Henderson and was able to be effective with Coltrane, too....
Indeed. The first 2:26 is a launch pad for what comes after.
This drum playing is the closest thing to God that I've ever heard

What instrument is Reggie Workman is playing, Bass? If so, we would have 2 bass players. How common it was put together such an instrumental line up ?
