- John Coltrane's interpretation was influenced by music from the Indian subcontinent. This tribute therefore makes total sense. The Sachal Jazz ensemble from Lahore, Pakistan and the Wynton Marsalis quintet at The Marciac jazz festival, July 2013. #Makejazznotwar! The magic in this arrangement for me is Baqir Abbas on flute!

Baqir Abbas is my blood brother. More powerful, mystical and soul stirring than his mastery of this piece of bamboo called a bansuri, is the man himself and his character.
Would you happen to know which Bansuri (scale) Baqir Abbas is using?
@@mapmania9164 I will find out for you
@@mapmania9164 G Sharp flute
@@QArts Thank you so much!
Hassan Khan, any chance coming to New York soon?
This song is among my favorite things
X2!
kek
Good one 😂
mine too
Yes!
Western music is like a casual walk on a busy city life and Eastern music is like that of calm breeze of the nature.. THE COMBINATION IS PERFECT
A casual walk in nature?
@@drink15 A calm breeze of nature hitting your face as you walk on a busy city street.
Man, I still can’t get over Walter’s solo at 2:45. Never fails to give me goosebumps
Whatcha doin up so early
fancy seeing you here
It’s incredible…. And those 2 accents on 2and and 3 the drummer plays at the end of his solo 3:18 !!! Beautifully placed…
It's something John would play on his soprano.... So good
The extended B he plays at 3:32 is just genius, I think about it a lot. Definition of 'less is more'.
These musicians deserve some air conditioning.
kightremin 😂😂😂 Good one bruh! 🤙🏽😎🕺🏿
First thing i noticed
You cant cool this ish off.
I feel like Wynton is sweating for the entire band.
Nope, Its the heat, the bother, that gives it legitimacy. If it were easy, it would not sound deep.
Good God, that stick of wood in that master’s hands ...
❤
The sitar or flute?
It's called a Bansuri. I am learning it myself since few years....you can check my channel...I play mostly small tunes...
It's bamboo!
Baqir Abbas is my blood brother. More powerful, mystical and soul stirring than his mastery of this piece of bamboo called a bansuri, is the man himself and his character.
Can we please talk about how amazing that pianist is. He adapts McCoys sound and even his harmonic approach at the phrasing and turns it into something yet different and individual.
Yes!
Dan Nimmer is a beast
I agree, his interpretation is very good.
Absolutely
Piano is WEAK
This is the real jazz world.
Thanks to All 💐🙏
baqir abbas your the real MVP
Baqir Abbas A truly beautiful, breathtaking performance. Bravo
amazing, one of the few recordings of this tune that i’ve fallen in love with
Mr. ABBAS.... Bravo!
Great Performance. Greetings from Brazil!
musical meets jazz meets indian classical music... yes...
All according to plan.. 😏
Pakistani classical music
@@hassaanawan367 while the musicians are from lahore, the instruments themselves are mainly hindustani no?
@@meowlmeowl-gi4925 its hard to differentiate because the existence of these instruments date back to indo pak division but the classical music is same, because both countries use the same ragas, garaian, thaps etc
@@hassaanawan367 ye that's what i thought
But divisions aside, Baqir Abbas is an absolute monster on that bansuri
I don't understand the 652 people who posted a thumbs down on this wonderful music, if you don't like it, go play with yourselves esewhere !
some folks only like canned, processed stuff!!!
Still mind blowing 🤯
frankdeblock-burij2899 go back to third grade to learn how to......spell English
Truth is they are not really music lovers or even understand what music is.
Jesus christ, this is one of the best live jazz performances of all time

@@GjaP_242 Wholeheartedly agree.
Every musician shines here, but that flute solo 👌
I really like that flautists' sound, it's clear he worked really hard to get that kind of a sound out of that instrument, even though I've never heard any other bansuri flutes before.
Flutist
Quetzal Zavala thank you for that. I have playing FLUTE for 50 yrs. I don’t play FLAUT and I can’t stand that pretentious fake word.
@@zangsax I've been playing the flute for 50 years too, and agree, but the main thing is, that guy's ability to get all that out of a type of flute that one would think isn't suitable for complicated western jazz (it certainly wasn't designed for this kind of music) is astounding.
@@royoser3055 His playing is indeed wonderfull. I have to drop the flutist /flautist thing. It just bugs me
@@zangsax flautist is more commonly used in u.k i believe, while flutist is preferred in american english
It's wonderful to know that there are musicians from Pakistan that have listened to Coltrane, Miles, Dizzy, and all the giants of jazz!
No, the magic did not start at 3:45.
We just missed the magic at 3:00 because of the camera jumps. The sax player gave us a fine example of circular breathing. Seamless!
Thank you for pointing that out. That's impressive
Holy shit that's the most beautiful sounding flute I've heard in my 50 years. Beautiful composition.
The phrasing or inflection, I'm not sure what it's called, on that flute is beyond human!
Rogers and Hammerstein. Two of the greatest composers in musical history
Try listen to a Shakuhachi
That flute has a lovely warm tone.
@Kevin Olschesky that's a bamboo from North India
@@nuciferance lmao
@@tabbbasco_sauce4545 the other type of bamboo flute is made from the bamboo found in southern India it is called kuzhal
@@nuciferance huh, interesting. Do you know if it has a different sound?
@@tabbbasco_sauce4545 yeah bansuri has a husky tone like the one in this video while the kuzhal has a sharp tone
Fantastic fusion. I'm sure Coltrane would have dug it. Thanks for posting, Hassan.
in some ways , but remember his later music moved far away from this sort of arrangement
@@chrisdann1226 yeah, but he still would have appreciated the music. just because he moved on, he never forgot all of his prior music.
Alice might have dug it even more than John.
A fusion of to cultures brings worldwide pleasure.
"Make Jazz not war" man that is a # to live by. That is my new motto!
Amen!
It's been my motto for years and swear by it.....imagine the world if we actually did!
I am down with that.
@@QArts Thanks for posting this. Great version and I love the Sitar bit in it. And to think I was not sure Indian music would be compatible with this song.
3:05 when the sax releases that tension it gives me goosebumps
This is how we remove the separatists' boundaries of people's and cultures, emersive musical journies synchronizing our cultures through music in harmony. If it could all be so simple.
Honestly this one of the best comments regarding music fusion that i have ever read, is so nice to share this words with us and the music is amazing 👍
Music is universal.
As a tabla player myself, the true hero is Ustad Ijaz Hussain Baloo Khan. Truly magnificent tabla playing!
4:43 gave me so much life
When you use the major pentatonic scale to solo over a song that's in the key of E minor because your instrument can only play in the key of D.
lol. Was wondering why he was bending every note, it's a shame a feel like it didn't showcase sitar to the fullest.
Very fine ear and excellent musical culture my friend. That gives the true modal feeling. Dorian I believe?
@@musamor75 nah it's lokrian
Yeah I noticed
@@Karim-fx6bz Thank you my good friend. Locrian, eh? 🤔 Hmmmm.
What's "nah" then? Poppycock mode?
That bansuri solo was astounding!!!
😅
That Indian flute is the most expressive instrument of all that are on stage and the flutist solo is top-notch
Jazz is truth ....truth is universal .... transcending time ... staying fresh ...staying true to the moment...the player stays in the moment.
It’s amazing how through music we can come together from different nationalities, religion, parts of the world, etc. and connect with one another. The vibe and energy can be seen and felt🔥👏🏾
Behold the power of music. One of the elemental gifts of life that binds us all together.
Amen
Great arrangement. The sax sounds like Coltrane's and when the flute starts it's pure magic.
Yes indeed!!!!!!
Absolutely breathtaking!!!!!!!
Rest in peace John Coltrane 🙏
23 September 1926 ~
17 July 1967⚘
This flute is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard
This is the kind of musical experience I didn’t know I needed until watching this video... incredible!
that tabla player has an agreement with time, i swear to god
Be sure to look up Ustad Zakir Hussain if you want to hear some virtuosic tabla.
@@smartacious Tabla beat Science.
This is awesome. This is a perfect example of how music unites people from all over the world.
And the circular breathing by the tenor player was mind blowning.
Seeing this in person must’ve been so impactful
The saxophonist has a tone very close to John Coltrane's.
Charles Barry agree. I was wondering if he was wanting to copy that sound because of this being a Coltrane Arrangement.
Yes but Coltrane payed/recorded this piece with the Soprano Sax while in this performance is a Tenor Sax.
Charles Barry Also the piano sounds very ‘vintage‘, like McCoy Tyner’s in the early 60s.
@@juancarlossaavedra4505 right! lol
He's using a vandoren jumbo Java. He sounds good!
If this is not a masterpiece then I don’t know what it is. Amazing I’m speechless 😶
Totally agree with you. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s amazing.
It is a Masterpiece.
EAST MEETS WEST CROSS OVER MUSIC AT IT'S VERY BEST.
Salutations to all Maestros.
Heavenly Music.
Thanks.
Poets are true: only music can bring people together.
Am I lying?
and FOOD!
sex too :)
Any form of art can bring people together, whether it be music or y’know, art.
the young pianist is killing it!!!!
East meets West, West meets East: our whole planet with a 'little' help of John Coltrane!!
👍
But getting to east from west takes a giant step though
And Eric dolphy...
This is a prime example that music is an international language. Very Very cool
Music is universal.
Beautiful mashup of two worlds playing as one!! BRILLIANT musicianship!!
I love this !!!!! Can't stop replaying this beautiful masterpiece !!!!! Pure genius at its highest!!!!!!!
Damn, Keegan-Michael Key really knows how to play that flute
Cole Hofberg HAHAHA
Yup ...sure does
Lmaooo
And Mr. Bean knows how to play the piano!
Koleyyy
I didn't know Keegan-Michael Key played such beautiful flute!
😂😂😂
😂👍🏿
John Coltrane was one of my favorite things!!!!!! Oh, and girls in white dresses
with blue satin sashes!!!
Bonjour
Racines fraîcheurs et respect total
Du grand art
Merci
Gosh, that flute player is amazing
When they *complement* each other.
I was recommended this by a friend of mine, needless to say I was blown away!!! Phenomenal job to all involved!
My brother, BERNARD MOORE was a horn player and flutist, who, back in circa. '70's, in HIS MIND, always HEARD JAZZ AND THIS EASTERN MUSICAL CULTURE TOGETHER. I CAN IMAGINE, that this is EXACTLY what HE HEARD in his mind...thanks, brothers...
Winton Marsalis is a genius. The musicians he brings together, INCREDIBLE.
One of my favorite songs, the Coltrane version. I own a home in far northern Newfoundland. As I head up the coast through Gros Morne National Park, as I pass through Sally's Cove I have a My Favorite Things playlist that I only turn on there, the gate way to my favorite place. Four different tracks of Coltrane singing through his sax oh so joyfully, two Newport versions. And McLaughlin quite recently playing it with JC drummer Elvin Jones, JC's version and a recent McCoy Tyner version and Turtle Island Quartet. Perhaps because it was a crowd favorite or perhaps because he was an artist not a commercial musician, Coltrane himself didn't want to play it after the second or so time. As Joni Mitchell says, "Who yells out to Van Gogh: 'Hey Man, paint that Starry Night again.'" One of C's pluses that's also a minus.
My favorite thing about this East Meets West performance is the flute player. Absolutely masterful and beautiful. Thanks to HK for the post.
John Coltrane was introduced to me by my lecturer, Prof Norbert Novtnt at RHODES UNIVERSITY in GRAHAMSTOWN South Africa. Great artist
with this song they make everyone love jazz.
For those that have discovered the magic of my brother #BaqirAbbas via this, here's a montage of him demonstrating his greatness as a #Bansuri (#flute) and #Jazz artist. th-cam.com/video/sF5dV9eQoik/w-d-xo.html.

Hassan Khan hi do you what key this bansuri is tuned to. and also which brand or model? thank you
@TheOriginal RudeBoy I have now and been watching some of his video's. Thanks.
@Culture Freedom No... Should I have?
Man, it opened up at 4:43. That passage! Wow! Just wow!
Ballu Khan, Bakkar Abas, and the gentleman on the Sax were amazing. I enjoyed it all.
This is stunningly beautiful, totally transported and so grateful to be able to sit here a with my eyes closed and listen - many thanks for this great gift of sound.
Lord have mercy!!! That bamboo stick broke me!!!!!
I love this so much I would have never thought to do this whoever’s behind this East meets west sound is a real genius
My Favorite Things
is my favorite tune ❤
I'm shook! I've listened on repeat about 100 times XD love this mixture of styles
I thought I was the only one with this on repeat about one hundred and eleven times!!!!!! Truly amazing isn't it !!!!!!
Love this masterpiece 💜
This is like a moment of completion. I'm in tears listening to this. Because St John was inspired by Hindu spirituality to pursue the making of this album.
Greatest Coltrane.
This went from cool to outer worldly intelligent and mesmerizing type of music that can be made when certain lines are erased. What a treat first class performance
when east meets west. truly amazing!
The haunting sounds of the Indian instruments fit nicely with the jazz instruments. Well done Wynton. Of course this couldn't be achieved without the help of these brilliant musicians
Merci Monsieur MARSALIS , tous les musiciens, le saxophoniste extraordinaire colonne d'air formidable, les jazzmen disparus doivent vous entendre, sont présents sur ce festival de musique , je suis très heureux de vous écouter, quelle ouverture d esprit de tolérance , je pense aussi d ´AMOUR
Monsieur COLTRANE sûrement aime votre hommage
Merci
One of The best if not the best arrangement I've heard of "my favorite things"
Really nice arrangement. Usually I’m hella picky on this tune but y’all more than nailed this. this was worth the price of admission
The flute solo brought me to tears, so beautiful
WHAT - WAS - THAT!? O-M-G!! Such an exquisite interpretation. Thanks for bring Indian music into this amazing mix. Kudos!
Interesting mix within western and eastern culture, trough the best music. Congratulations to all involved!
Don’t know how I got here but I’m grateful. Amazing beautiful rendition.
The flute solo was warm and sublime - perfectly captured by the great camera work. Oh - great audio mix too.
I just keep coming back to this clip...
Walter Blanding blows me away on that 10M Naked Lady tenor sax. Coltrane would have LOVED this session!
Magical. The intersection of this quintessential of African American art forms with the very best of traditions from Pakistani music. The tabla master is spellbinding and the master of the bansuri sends me to the very best of places.
wonderful magic ! I love every second ! & the Bansuri is just divine !
Mckoy Tyner brilliantly suggested to John Coltrane that they do My Favorite Things. At first Trane thought it was a corny idea.
But later trashed that thought.
I was listening to Coltrane playing this and your video appeared. A thrilling companion. Thanks for posting!
Beyond amazing!!! That flute player is off the chain!!!!
I knew Coltrane named his son Ravi. But never knew they mixed Jazz Sax with Sitar and they did it so well. Wonderful, everybody! Sax greatly played. Flute and Tabla kind of softened up for Jazz? Not sure, but it is so beautifully played, especially the flute part. Wow. Big shout out to all of you and thank you!
Who ever thought this piece of jazz music up, is unbelievable. So fresh, yet so back in the day!
Love Walter Blanding, top shelf, under appreciated tenor sax player!!!
Wow! That sound from bamboo is so much more mellow than metal. When I heard the eastern instruments, and then the tenor sax I understood some of what Coltrane was doing with his instrument. This was amazing. I hope Marsalis and company recorded a jazz album with Sachal Jazz ensemble. The "cool" is back.
I think if John Coltrane was alive today he would smile and shout YES!!! THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!
God that tenor player is fucking beautiful! Literally brought me to tears.
Thank you, musicians, for celebrating life as you do.
Magic from 0:00!!
This is just amazing music. I hope they do this again soon.
These is like a married gift.
TH-cam on autoplay, Happened on this accidently...
I couldn't change it!
Amazing! Amazing sound, mix of cultural instruments, the
musicians, the skill level and most of all - the beauty of Jazz..
WOW! just...WOW!
Could this be anything else than utterly moving?
So difficult to play that bansuri flute. . beautiful. . stunning arrangement. True in music as well: E Pluribus Unum
Drums and percussion exceptionally great at hitting the right timing: very original and soothing
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!
When I play in bands and we are "tight", the hairs on my arms and the back of my neck stand up. I felt this after only 2:00 mins in. Jazz and the Culinary Arts are what I hope will be the basis for peace in our time. Tasting different cuisines while listening to the musical expression of the world is a dream, not even the UN could achieve. Cheers!
