Listening "Chasin the Trane" is and always will be the best 16 minutes 4 seconds of my life. Just the way mans states the phrase, 16 bars, then rearranges it going forward, drums crashing, then freestyles the phrase and the way he plays it sounds like he's repeating the phrase he's not; incredible moment of genius. If you never listened to it, THIS is absolution:
I am 20 years old currently hearing this for the first time right now, John Coltrane’s music has influenced me so much recently even though I’m still new to learning jazz
I’m 67 years old and I have a doctorate in music theory and composition. I’ve paid my dues and I’ve earned my way in the world of music. And here is what I have to say about this musical performance: SHEER GENIUS. This a Blues. But, Trane, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones take it into realms unimaginable by musicians and music lovers when this recording was made in 1961. Musicians, if you haven’t already done so, count each 12 bars. They work out perfectly at the end. In other words, as exploratory as Coltrane was here, he and Elgin and Jimmy never violated the form of the Blues. They just dramatically expanded the scope of it!
@Paul Brewer appreciate your knowledgeable insight on this beautiful yet difficult composition... I'm curious... what are your thoughts on "Giant Steps"?
In all my years of listening and playing this beautiful music,this particular piece always gives me what I love most about the music.So searching,so strong,passionate and unbelievably energised!Tears every time,it's the intensely stated truth!
@paulbrewer2374 I've been a Trane lover for decades, and this is great, but I do have one critique. As far as counting the measures, Jimmy Garrison (bass player ), to my ears, is not playing a 12 bar blues progression here, but rather, is just playing the one chord continuously, instead of a I/IV/V progression.
I have a transcription of this solo. It’s thirty pages long. There is an anecdote about him from his time with Miles. Miles took him aside and said “I love what you’re doing, John, but you have to shorten those solos a bit.” Coltrane said, “I know, Miles, but there’s just so much I want to say. I just don’t know how to stop playing.” Miles said, “Why don’t you try taking the saxophone out of your mouth?”.
There should be a billion views here now, especially in this time. Listen to this and Hendrix's Machine Gun in the same sitting and you will understand the world a lot fucking better
I was nine in 1962, but I think of those who listened to Trane live playing this piece for the first time. Even though they had listened to Ornette, I believe they were shocked
It never ceases to amaze me but living in England in 1961 you never heard of anything like this . All w got on radio was shit. Or Gilbert and Sullivan. This is absolutely wonderful. The local uneducated can't understand Very sad for them all Stuck with Rock and Roll
not if you are listening with all your might and feel the feeling. then it's not at all boring or repetetive. maybe you should try to play atonal blues like this, but--if you can't feel it you can't get this at all. it is the cry of a human being from the depths of his soul.

Oh man, I so clearly remember being I guess 20 years-old and hearing this for the first time. I'm three times as old now, and love it that much more.
Bill Zebub Totally.Immense then and now, as my ears are a little more tuned in its a millions times better!

My favorite Trane song of all time. Just so far out, I love it. Thanks.

A fiery, transformative sermon from the prophet!
Elvin Jones on drums; otherworldly.
I’m pretty sure that’s Roy Haynes I’m not certain though
John Coltrane (t sax), Jimmy Garrison (b) and Elvin Jones (d) live at The Village Vanguard on 11/2/1961.

@@shabouga 😂😂😂
Hahahaha. That's a good one! 😂
really a duet between coltrane and elvin. total energy.
There should be a billion views here now, especially in this time. Listen to this and Hendrix's Machine Gun in the same sitting and you will understand the world a lot fucking better
Glad someone else sees the similarities to hendrix! This is great music.
St John Coltrane, a love supreme.
John Coltrane is to saxophone what Jimi Hendrix is to guitar.

Best STUFF ever 🗽🇺🇸 🎷
Elvin Jones's swing is strong in this one
Killer!!
Any ad that pops up in the middle of Coltrane, whatever that product is, I refuse to buy it!!!
This tune was inspired by reedman John Gilmore. Trane took informsl lessions from John Gilmore late 50s. Trane was five years older than Gilmore. 😎
This is the closest expression to outer limits of the universe,sorry to sound philosophical but,this is the spiritual realms my friends.

Shame on you for not listing the musicians. We all know them but very disrespectful nonetheless...😡
Look it up on the internet
Disgusting. Both "music" and your snobbery, get your hands off the keyboard.
Let's accept the fact that this is goddamn boring, poor and repetitive.
So boring that you came back for more ...
repetativ????????
If it's so boring why did u came back dickhead
repetative??????????
not if you are listening with all your might and feel the feeling. then it's not at all boring or repetetive.
maybe you should try to play atonal blues like this, but--if you can't feel it you can't get this at all.
it is the cry of a human being from the depths of his soul.
