My high school chemistry teacher Marvin Perry at Orleans American High School took me and another student to this concert at the Olympia Theatre in Paris. Will never forget it.
You are the man, Miles Dewey Davis lll, I have been enjoying you since my teenage days, and I still enjoy you now at 73 yrs. old. Your music will last forever... thanks
Given you wrote your comment 3 yrs ago, we are probably the same age. Yes, we were born in the "best of times." There were great cars, amazing and creative music--from folk to rock to Be-Bop--and kids our age everywhere.
I listened to Miles Davis for a week and then decided I really wanted to play trumpet, I walked into a charity shop and they had a trumpet for sale. I bought it. It's really hard work. If you think the playing is impressive. try blowing hard for two minutes. Playing for an hour is hardcore.
It's funny you say that because I watched 👀 a video of Pelè, then saw a football ⚽️ in the street and after practicing for a week, managed to break my neighbours window.....had same problem after watching Mike Tyson, got the 💩 kicked outta me by no other than Pelè....strange world😂😂
Great musicians, pure music. Miles Davis is unique, the fifthies and sixties produced the best music ever. To be confined at home in a quarantine, working and listening this kind of music is a real privilege.
I AGREE WITH YOU - HE HAS BEEN MY MUSICAL HERO SINCE 1959 - being an "old man", I had the pleasure of seeing Coltrane in person with his quartet in the early 60's during the "Great L.A. Jazz Scene" of the early 60's - "KEEP ENJOYING THE SOUNDS OF JAZZ" (especially Coltrane)
Miles was too full of himself .. he could hardly bear John, who rightly stole his show in the concerts. In fact, he replaced it with Wayne Shorter and for John maybe it was good for his music.
@@mariolongo7369 Mario, you are full of shit, ,Miles was the leader. Trane was beautiful, but do not take away from Miles. Jazz is not a competition.There is no better!!!
@@lastknowngood0 -- Me too. There was a strip club next door....and Molfeta's Greek Restaurant on 8th....The Age of Gold.....Cheers from Acapulco....age 78!
i am 85 yrs. old born in PHILADELPHIA which is also COLTRANES home town and i got to see him perform at the SHOWBOAT on LOMBARD STREET many times in the late 1950's and early 60's. I have his first pressing of BLUE TRANE . I think he was put on earth to bring joy and peace thru his music. just listen to LUSH LIFE, BLUE TRANE and GIANT STEPS and you will know what I mean.
They set the blueprint for jazz musicians forever although there will never ever be a MILES OR TRANE AGAIN THEY LEFT ENOUGH FOR THE MUSICIANS OF TODAY TO FOLLOW!

My fav drummer. Last time with Jimmy Cobb was Indianapolis 2000 meet of the International Society of Bassists. Was occasion for special gathering of the "Bassists of Bill Evans" -- Chuck Israels, Eddie Gomez, Marc Johnson, (forgetting who pianist was) and Jimmy Cobb on drums and wearing his NY Yankees cap.

I had the great privilege of hearing these guys on tour in the spring of 1960 in Frankfurt, Germany. The group also included Cannonball Adderley. I had front row seats. I remember Miles getting upset with Coltrane during one of his wild improvisations and nudging him off with his trumpet. Crazy! Fantastic performance by all...………...
One thing I love about Miles Davis is that he never chose sidemen for his bands ... he was always looking for musicians that have a different musical vision than himself
Miles Davis is partially responsible for the development of Coltrane, because he rarely told him what to play, in fact it was Miles Davis who gave John Coltrane his first soprano saxophone.

.ONE OF MY FAVORITE LIVE RECORDINGS,MILES JUST LET'S COLTRANE DO HIS THING..THIS IS 60 YEARS AGO AND IT STILL IS AHEAD OF IT'S TIME TODAY,,THANK YOU MILES,JOHN,JIMMY,WYNTON,PAUL...YOU ARE ALL GONE NOW,,BUT ARE YOU??
I'm teaching English for Summer School and they are reading Concrete Cowboy. The main character is named after Coltrane and none of them had ever heard him before. Playing this during their writing portion of class. They are actually digging it.
The sound on this recording is superb. It is clear, full-range, and natural (not over produced like today's recordings). This means the musicianship had to be spot on.
Every solo Trane pushes the edge more and more, and every time he comes back to the head he advances it harmonically, genius ! The rhythm section and Miles follow suit. By the time they get to Oleo it is pure exploration.This is jazz history. Just my humble opinion
I agree. It reminds me of how five years later Wayne Shorter, though a different style player, was walking on the edge--and sometimes putting a foot over the edge--in the Plugged Nickle recordings. Great music in both live settings. 🙂👍🏼🤙🏽
I dreamed that they discovered a time machine ... and it would be so spectacular to see these geniuses in Paris. I envy every person who attended this concert.
with a quantum molecule cell displacement chamber any thing is possible.cells can be completely reformed in another time zone top scientists know this but its a one way trip ..
I was there, with my father in his days. Quite a shock to hear Trane live for the first time! He divided the audience. Dead supportive (my father and I) and stubbornly hostile (some prominent jazz critics at this time) History vindicated him!
For those who haven't played jazz, this is about as incredible as it gets. It may sound like a lot of "noodling" and blue notes thrown in, but the level these guys are going to only sounds deceptively easy or abstract, they are Intentionally all over the place, because that is what it took to rise above and make something this beautiful and complex. This is pure genius. And all first takes, live in concert? THAT is how good these guys are. For that era, and for a live show, the audio is INCREDIBLY clear, so a giant 'thank you' to whoever recorded, mixed, and produced this!
Just found this by accident; how lucky can you get? In the early 60s, we still had a few small clubs with all the greats dropping by...lucky me, my parents babysat our kids so we wouldn't miss out. There is nothing like a small club, where you can actually see the musicians, no one is yelling or trying to singing their "favorite" song. You can tell I'm old, ha, ha.
8:35 HOLY SMOKES! Hendrix-level distorted multiphonics from Coltrane for the last 60 second finale of an incredibly building, searching solo. Whew! The crowd loves it!! Can't believe I just heard that! 1960!!!??!
Coltrane always puts me in another world. I like Miles, but Coltrane just does it for me like no one else. He's always pulling from this spiritual realm with his playing
Monster talent supreme, ... the baddest of the bad-asses !!! R.I.P. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb, Wynton Kelly, and Paul Chambers. .. Thank You !!
Prior to the 20th Century, there was no such thing as Jazz. The great African American contribution to the world, admired by musicians and music lovers everywhere.
And then these artists had to return to the usa where they were no longer treated as equals but 2nd class citizens....a horrible indelible mark on America's history. Relegated as headliners to side doors and back entrances and then Miles the headliner getting arrested and battered by police for hanging outside a club where only whites were allowed. WTF.
As a Guitarist/Bassist; pure clear preserved 60 year old jazz can be heard through the thick wound gaged bass string slapping against the Maple wood fret board while the Bassist enters into the lower register of his solo! Beautiful!
Follow up to my earlier 'comment': Miles Davis 5tet at the Olympia (Paris) 1960. Near the end of this concert, some 'fans' sitting down front by the stage threw objects toward the stage. The thin see-thru curtains were closing, musicians were still on stage, and then the heavier curtains closed. Mr. Perry, my teacher who brought me to this show from Orleans, 70 miles south of Paris, explained this untoward behavior with the comment, "some evidently did not like Miles Davis turning his back to the audience." During my time in France (1959-1965) saw Coltrane 4tet and Monk 4tet at the Olympia; also Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour and Gilbert Becaud. Great venue for music no doubt.
It doesn't get any better than this .this is the BEST the whole band is perfection as it gets wen 1 reaches deep inside yourself this is what happens ecstasy .wow these musicians r some were else feeding off 1 other luv the BASS keeping it tight. everyone's playing is supreme . I can listen 2 this over and over again again. thank u u tube 😍
One of the finest live jazz albums ever recorded by a group of musicians who were masters of their own art. Just because Davis and Coltrane were out front in no way means those behind or to the side were less - far from it. Each one was exceptional beyond normal talent. I'm gushing, I know. But oh boy, this is above and beyond. This is a super group like Cream or Zeppelin - you know what I mean. Each musician a collosus in his own right: tight as a nut. Sweet as sweet dreams, immaculate.
The 50 Best Jazz Saxophonists Of All Time The saxophone remains an iconic instrument in jazz, mastered by many musical geniuses. uDiscover Music celebrates the 50 best jazz saxophonists of all time. By Charles Waring "John Coltrane (1926-1967) Coltrane rewrote the book on tenor saxophone playing and also helped to popularise the soprano version of the instrument. Starting out as a bar-walking blues player, he emerged as the most significant jazz saxophonist after Charlie Parker." www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/50-best-jazz-saxophonists/
@@bronxbassist yes it is. It’s definitely more prevalent in the people who are working on something. Having a sense of ‘vision’ while also figuring it out on the spot. Coltrane had all that and some....
Honesty prevails in this gathering in Paris. Miles is at his best hosting the greatest and most inventive ando rythmically complex sax player. he is like the relentless current of a river.
The master is in HIS house. This the gift of the lord to Trane, and the blessing to those who are enlightened enough, to let themselves be enlightened by the divine message in the musical voice. Coltrane was no accident. He was a musical messenger and prophet given to us by the lord at a specific time in history, for a specific reason, and carrying a specific musical message. Divine things such as this never age. They remain as always relavant and as essential as the gospels, and the recital.
Religion is a dead end ... no answers there ... just another scam. FYI Coltrane, for all his genius, was, like Miles, a heroin addict. Not a great finish
@@MrJMayer123 "These prophets spoke to me in the womb, spoke to me through suffering, speak to me now of God, of Good." I call BS - do you have a recording of all of this talking / speaking? Put up or shut up!
Great point, Scott. It's fascinating to trace the lineages and interconnections of these cats. Coltrane played awhile in Diz's big band, a "decent" sideman. And when Bird brought Miles in, he could hardly play the bebop changes, although of course he learned quickly. Then the two Eagles came together, for a time.
Damn!!! Coltrane entered into another dimension on that blues! At 53 minutes he goes off past the planet Pluto. 58 years later at this writing 12/04/2018, still NO ONE has reached those heights yet! How it must have sounded to this crowd in 1960 had to be staggering! Now to "Bye Bye Blackbird": Miles is so 'laid' back, it's like he's not sure what to play (and we all no that's not true). He's the master of 'space', letting 'it" have a turn. Man, what a genius! Now, for Coltrane. He's the complete opposite. He's not only playing notes on the saxophone, he's creating notes that don't exist. They say that the "Milky Way" has more stars than one can count (infinite). Well, Coltrane plays more notes than what's in the "Milky Way". End of discussion.
Yo Pepper. I read your comment because it's the first one to see, and I was listening and heard Trane blow a few notes (he said Thelonious Monk taught him how to do that btw- play two notes at once) and thought, "this must be the 53 minute mark", and sure enough...
He and I arrived to Earth a few decades after each other. I did not think I would find him. As it was he left this planet three years before I discovered his legacy.
My goodness this is so good. My favorite Miles line up. Trane is of course Trane. No additional superlatives needed but add Wyntons trio and the whole thing simply sways and swings with an awesome jazzy and bluesy feel. Think Wynton is a little like BB King. Not super technical but man - every note hits the spot. American music at its finest!!!!
20 years ago or so someone gave me a ripped CD with so what and o.g.d.s. from this concert, and i listened to them over and over. I really like coltrane's playing on those, the way he pours out those ribbons of notes and seems to imply a lot that isn't actually there by playing around it, letting out those tremendous low belches and man if you really follow along with him you go to some very strange places, like weird ecstatic expressionist fluxing paintings that ripple and burble and never stay still and they go from spooky and complex to joyful then just almost crazed, these are probably my favorite jazz solos of all time
There is no such thing as Miles Davis's greatest performance. Miles Davis far transcends a (are meaning this one is Miles greatest performance. ) greatest performance. And to say so diminishes Miles greatness.
Just thought of this tonight, team: Miles was not a wailer, a shouter. BUT, he let John push him that way just now and again. Here, in this concert, maybe the most!
Came back to take another listen on June 12, 2020. And yep, it's still INCREDIBLE! I truly believe that NO ONE will EVER match this man's talents on the tenor saxophone! Oh, at this recording he wasn't yet 34 years old!
A raise of my drink to you. Im back here on Sept.25.2020. This Friday night, we threw the kids and grandkids, and the hip hop out the house. So the Wife and I can focus and dance with the essential beauty of this recording.....

The sound on this recording is superb. It is clear, full-range, and natural (not over produced like today's recordings). This means the musicianship had to be spot on.
I am very fortunate and thankful to be among the happy few who enjoy this music. May The Almighty Lord bless you all 🙏🏾
Every solo Trane pushes the edge more and more, and every time he comes back to the head he advances it harmonically, genius ! The rhythm section and Miles follow suit. By the time they get to Oleo it is pure exploration.This is jazz history. Just my humble opinion
you are absolutely right, gonetop4
I agree regarding Coltrane but I can't wait for Miles to stop play and Coltrane starts
I agree. It reminds me of how five years later Wayne Shorter, though a different style player, was walking on the edge--and sometimes putting a foot over the edge--in the Plugged Nickle recordings. Great music in both live settings. 🙂👍🏼🤙🏽
@@Tutankhamen210 I own the CD boxset, it's outstanding
I dreamed that they discovered a time machine ... and it would be so spectacular to see these geniuses in Paris.
I envy every person who attended this concert.
Rui Garcia couldn't agree more, sir
Agreed, This whole tour was something else.
give me 50 grand ill get you to your destination time travel is possible but it cost money mate..
with a quantum molecule cell displacement chamber any thing is possible.cells can be completely reformed in another time zone top scientists know this but its a one way trip ..
I was there, with my father in his days. Quite a shock to hear Trane live for the first time! He divided the audience. Dead supportive (my father and I) and stubbornly hostile (some prominent jazz critics at this time) History vindicated him!
For those who haven't played jazz, this is about as incredible as it gets. It may sound like a lot of "noodling" and blue notes thrown in, but the level these guys are going to only sounds deceptively easy or abstract, they are Intentionally all over the place, because that is what it took to rise above and make something this beautiful and complex. This is pure genius. And all first takes, live in concert? THAT is how good these guys are. For that era, and for a live show, the audio is INCREDIBLY clear, so a giant 'thank you' to whoever recorded, mixed, and produced this!
"It doesn't have to 'sound' right, if I play it, it Is right."
83 years old and hearing this again for the first time in 20+ years, thank you GOD!!!
Enjoy it!
So well said Pal
This music speaks to us , it's a universal language that keeps our mind heart and soul!!!
And I raise my drink and nod to this comment.
From before I was born. And I’m no longer young. This recording always existed to me.
We’re blessed to have these recordings and an app where we can listen to them.
You got that right, since this the highest form of communication.
Just found this by accident; how lucky can you get? In the early 60s, we still had a few small clubs with all the greats dropping by...lucky me, my parents babysat our kids so we wouldn't miss out. There is nothing like a small club, where you can actually see the musicians, no one is yelling or trying to singing their "favorite" song. You can tell I'm old, ha, ha.
I saw Coltrane in a small club on the Sunset Strip in the early 1960s when I was a teenager.
8:35 HOLY SMOKES! Hendrix-level distorted multiphonics from Coltrane for the last 60 second finale of an incredibly building, searching solo. Whew! The crowd loves it!! Can't believe I just heard that! 1960!!!??!
Africa speaks.
Blues shouting
Fantastic. Timeless music.
The 1950's and early 1960's is the best - from these greats . Thank You .
This is American classical music...music at its most creative and finest! Yes!!!
Beyond just being 'American'. Kind of Blue always reminds me of my hometown, London. Then he throws in 'Spanish' style in Flamenco Sketches ;-))
I can't believe how good this is.
Wynton Kelly’s comping was a huge part of why this group was so deeply swinging. Astounding!
Indeed, we mustn't underestimate Wynton, great solos in the shadow such huge giants, Coltrane an impossible act to follow!
And you could hear that he was inspired by his band mates and was exploring as well
Coltrane always puts me in another world. I like Miles, but Coltrane just does it for me like no one else. He's always pulling from this spiritual realm with his playing

Essa obra prima me leva para um plano superior
Queria ver Davis tocar aqui no Brasil
It's nice to enter the mellow section of YT sometimes. Thanks to all for making it so.
Born in 48 . Love this stuff .
Absolute legends at work. Oh Trane Oh Trane you are my savior ! GENIUS.

Thanks for this. It’s wonderful and new to me. 1960. Unbelievable.
I was born in 1973 and sometimes I think that during pregnancy I heard these guys. I feel so good with this songs.
You are not alone. I was born in 1973 as well and have the same feeling
U can't create these kind of flawless sounds without...endless discipline!
DANKE!!
One of the greatest musicians of all time, Coltrane, accompanied by one of the greatest bassists in jazz history!!
I love how the piano player expands the melody into a story that he paints in his solo.
Love how Coltrane can speak the language of jazz with so many incredibly different dialects and technically awesome dialectal accents....
MUSIC has no language. You are just a tourist in Music.
''Language'' what a joke...
I totally disagree with you@@eddiemperor
This might be the greatest musical document of the twentieth century.
@ Jason Finch : Might be?
It's certainly one of them!
Monster talent supreme, ... the baddest of the bad-asses !!! R.I.P. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb, Wynton Kelly, and Paul Chambers. .. Thank You !!
Prior to the 20th Century, there was no such thing as Jazz. The great African American contribution to the world, admired by musicians and music lovers everywhere.
Etymologically true. Practically, not, unless u exclude Blues and Ragtime from the scope of jazz. Many don't.
And then these artists had to return to the usa where they were no longer treated as equals but 2nd class citizens....a horrible indelible mark on America's history. Relegated as headliners to side doors and back entrances and then Miles the headliner getting arrested and battered by police for hanging outside a club where only whites were allowed. WTF.
The music world today cannot crow about much when you hear such flawless imperfections of these genius men. These men somehow explained my life. ☺💐 🌹
As a Guitarist/Bassist; pure clear preserved 60 year old jazz can be heard through the thick wound gaged bass string slapping against the Maple wood fret board while the Bassist enters into the lower register of his solo! Beautiful!
Low low lowlow
The Dynamic Duo of Jazz! It’s still in the air, somewhere, everywhere.....
Coltrane paints brush strokes with his sax. Sound painting.
Follow up to my earlier 'comment': Miles Davis 5tet at the Olympia (Paris) 1960. Near the end of this concert, some 'fans' sitting down front by the stage threw objects toward the stage. The thin see-thru curtains were closing, musicians were still on stage, and then the heavier curtains closed. Mr. Perry, my teacher who brought me to this show from Orleans, 70 miles south of Paris, explained this untoward behavior with the comment, "some evidently did not like Miles Davis turning his back to the audience." During my time in France (1959-1965) saw Coltrane 4tet and Monk 4tet at the Olympia; also Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour and Gilbert Becaud. Great venue for music no doubt.
The louts did not understand or like Trane.
now this is what i call jazz...pure magic..love it
Laying in my bed on a Sun day morning listening to this...whew!!!
The reason this album is so compelling is because it has two leaders in one band. The musical fireworks that ensure are as a result of this.
And why it wouldn't last. They were moving in two directions, albeit both directions were totally respected and welcomed by me.
@@clearspiritnow Welcomed by you?
Coltrane in "All of You"... Wow, what the fuck?? He was definitely on to something. This is absolutely fantastic!!
One of the greatest Musical performances of all time by two of the greatest musicians of all time! How did this one escape me!
Five of the greatest..!!!
Timeless, thankful for the music that has been left for all of us to share and to enjoy
The music says all that needs to be said. These men and their incredible gifts were sent by God as a blessing to us all
This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards !!
Exactly what I was thinking! I just couldn't find the right words. Thanks Phillippe!
Jazz Saxophone is John Coltrane....
Thanks for sharing this amazing concert
My goodness, this Coltrane guy can play!
It doesn't get any better than this .this is the BEST the whole band is perfection as it gets wen 1 reaches deep inside yourself this is what happens ecstasy .wow these musicians r some were else feeding off 1 other luv the BASS keeping it tight. everyone's playing is supreme . I can listen 2 this over and over again again. thank u u tube 😍
Miles' timing is quite surreal and his phrases are very subtly echoed in Coltrane's solo.
To use the term subtil for Mile Davis .. is “ exactly accurate “
I have such immense pleasure out of this beautiful concert I will die happy listening to it God Bless them both. Nuala in Dublin Ireland.
Regrettably, "God" did not "bless" them - they both died heroin addicts.
Over
One of the finest live jazz albums ever recorded by a group of musicians who were masters of their own art. Just because Davis and Coltrane were out front in no way means those behind or to the side were less - far from it. Each one was exceptional beyond normal talent. I'm gushing, I know. But oh boy, this is above and beyond. This is a super group like Cream or Zeppelin - you know what I mean. Each musician a collosus in his own right: tight as a nut. Sweet as sweet dreams, immaculate.
Coltrane improvisational skills are impeccable
Percy Timberlake Just my opinion, but I think the rest of the ansamble bent around him....
like space-time?
@@danielryan9076 As they should imo. Coltrane is doing lines such that the rest of the band would be stupid not to emphasize it
The 50 Best Jazz Saxophonists Of All Time
The saxophone remains an iconic instrument in jazz, mastered by many musical geniuses. uDiscover Music celebrates the 50 best jazz saxophonists of all time.
By Charles Waring
"John Coltrane (1926-1967)
Coltrane rewrote the book on tenor saxophone playing and also helped to popularise the soprano version of the instrument. Starting out as a bar-walking blues player, he emerged as the most significant jazz saxophonist after Charlie Parker."
www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/50-best-jazz-saxophonists/
Amazing to hear how Coltrane's first solo is reaching toward where his music would go in 6 years time with his album Ascension (1966).
I caught this big time!
@@ziton5063 Amazing how the fruits of our labor can be foreshadowed so far in advance. Or perhaps it's just Coltrane's magic! Lol
@@bronxbassist yes it is. It’s definitely more prevalent in the people who are working on something. Having a sense of ‘vision’ while also figuring it out on the spot. Coltrane had all that and some....
@@ziton5063 I agree with that completely. Coltrane had some extremely sharp vision
I was thinking the same thing.
The who's who of Jazz legendary artists, the greatest music ever ✌❤
Honesty prevails in this gathering in Paris. Miles is at his best hosting the greatest and most inventive ando rythmically complex sax player. he is like the relentless current of a river.
Well said. 'Nough said.
"Divine things such as this never age. William Lynch Amen.

No sence of Humor allowed. oder?
What else can we say; These Genius Musicians that their Music will never Die. Masters.
Music is timeless,.... this is fresh as the new day. Genius is what these gentlemen were all about.
The master is in HIS house. This the gift of the lord to Trane, and the blessing to those who are enlightened enough, to let themselves be enlightened by the divine message in the musical voice. Coltrane was no accident. He was a musical messenger and prophet given to us by the lord at a specific time in history, for a specific reason, and carrying a specific musical message. Divine things such as this never age. They remain as always relavant and as essential as the gospels, and the recital.
this is the gift of these talented musicians to US, people living in this planet.
Yes. Beautifully written. These prophets spoke to me in the womb, spoke to me through suffering, speak to me now of God, of Good.
There IS a Coltrane Church.
Religion is a dead end ... no answers there ... just another scam.
FYI Coltrane, for all his genius, was, like Miles, a heroin addict. Not a great finish
@@MrJMayer123 "These prophets spoke to me in the womb, spoke to me through suffering, speak to me now of God, of Good."
I call BS - do you have a recording of all of this talking / speaking?
Put up or shut up!
So Parker brings in Miles and Dizzy brings in Coltrane, love that these two got together just like Bird & Dizz;) Great upload, thanks!
Great point, Scott. It's fascinating to trace the lineages and interconnections of these cats. Coltrane played awhile in Diz's big band, a "decent" sideman. And when Bird brought Miles in, he could hardly play the bebop changes, although of course he learned quickly. Then the two Eagles came together, for a time.
I don't dare to answer no more . Thanks to F. B.
you could hear Trane was going to start his own band soon .... A love supreme...
Damn!!! Coltrane entered into another dimension on that blues! At 53 minutes he goes off past the planet Pluto. 58 years later at this writing 12/04/2018, still NO ONE has reached those heights yet! How it must have sounded to this crowd in 1960 had to be staggering! Now to "Bye Bye Blackbird": Miles is so 'laid' back, it's like he's not sure what to play (and we all no that's not true). He's the master of 'space', letting 'it" have a turn. Man, what a genius! Now, for Coltrane. He's the complete opposite. He's not only playing notes on the saxophone, he's creating notes that don't exist. They say that the "Milky Way" has more stars than one can count (infinite). Well, Coltrane plays more notes than what's in the "Milky Way". End of discussion.
Really are transcendent!
Yo Pepper.
I read your comment because it's the first one to see, and I was listening and heard Trane blow a few notes (he said Thelonious Monk taught him how to do that btw- play two notes at once) and thought, "this must be the 53 minute mark", and sure enough...
tiago alano wz
Absolutely!!!
Is there a transcription of this shit man!!!fn Coltrane was idk ummm
John Coltrane was an alien from another Universe. He was just as unique there too. Remarkable.
Maybe we're all aliens and Mr Coltrane was the right person to be on this planet
@@intuneorange
Mind blown. You triggered a whole new universe with that comment.
He and I arrived to Earth a few decades after each other. I did not think I would find him. As it was he left this planet three years before I discovered his legacy.
It's Monday May 12th 2024 at 6:30am and I'm loving this incredible music
So much music came from these guys it’s amazing how many musician we’re brought to us through these guys ....trane calls me that tone......le
The fact that within the first actual minute of the song is beyond fantastic and Coltrane isn't even letting loose to soak the ultra light......❤❤❤❤❤
reading and writing about Coltrane and Miles Davis for my thesis currently, I see the soul strring right here. It so warm and relaxing.
As a Bassist,I've gotten MANY Gigs aping Mr.P.C!! (Can't go WRONG!!)
My goodness this is so good. My favorite Miles line up. Trane is of course Trane. No additional superlatives needed but add Wyntons trio and the whole thing simply sways and swings with an awesome jazzy and bluesy feel. Think Wynton is a little like BB King. Not super technical but man - every note hits the spot.
American music at its finest!!!!
Sensational breathtaking invaluable archive....great curation.....The Age of Gold. BRAVI TUTTI from Acapulco!
I would like to make a special mention to Wynton Kelly, the best piano accompanist for musicians of the level of Davis and Coltrane.
agreed. kelly was just that!
Miles was also a genius at spotting talent
Red Garland was just as good, in a different way.
jimmy cobb is hell of a drummer
Philly was way better
so what?
@@A.ChristopherJohnson Nevertheless, together with PC, he fits best with Coltrane in this band.
I have yet to hear a record with Jimmy Wynton and Paul that I don't like.
Machine gun 🥁.
20 years ago or so someone gave me a ripped CD with so what and o.g.d.s. from this concert, and i listened to them over and over. I really like coltrane's playing on those, the way he pours out those ribbons of notes and seems to imply a lot that isn't actually there by playing around it, letting out those tremendous low belches and man if you really follow along with him you go to some very strange places, like weird ecstatic expressionist fluxing paintings that ripple and burble and never stay still and they go from spooky and complex to joyful then just almost crazed, these are probably my favorite jazz solos of all time
Miles' greatest performance. I come back to this all the time. Love you Miles!
There is no such thing as Miles Davis's greatest performance. Miles Davis far transcends a (are meaning this one is Miles greatest performance. ) greatest performance. And to say so diminishes Miles greatness.
Just thought of this tonight, team: Miles was not a wailer, a shouter. BUT, he let John push him that way just now and again. Here, in this concert, maybe the most!
Coltrane blows everything out of the water! He is an enormous Spirit. Pure ❤ 🔥.
Came back to take another listen on June 12, 2020. And yep, it's still INCREDIBLE! I truly believe that NO ONE will EVER match this man's talents on the tenor saxophone! Oh, at this recording he wasn't yet 34 years old!
A raise of my drink to you.
Im back here on Sept.25.2020. This Friday night, we threw the kids and grandkids, and the hip hop out the house. So the Wife and I can focus and dance with the essential beauty of this recording.....
