Yes yes I was part of the audience in the early 60s at the Village Vanguard in New York City where John Coltrane did one of his last performances there and I'm so happy and delighted to say as of this day at this time I'm still listening to John Coltrane perhaps everyday I developed my yoga listening to John Coltrane back in the early 60s and I've been at it for the past 50 plus years he is definitely my choice my heartbeat my mantra when it comes to my Musical Spiritual Development with much love Baba yoga b e y the Afrocentric Godfather
I really respect this man. He has strong discipline and deep spiritual connection. He was a heroine user and realized it was ruining his career and family life. He got rid of his own addiction by locking himself in garage for months and told his wife do not disturb. He did this without s rehab center.
IMHO this is the definitive Coltrane work! If anyone who has never heard Trane wants to know who he is and why he is an all-time giant of jazz, they should listen to this version of Spiritual! It is, IMHO, not only Trane's greatest piece but the greatest musical work of any genre, jazz or any other, that I have ever heard! It is pure genius! The basic melody is so beautifully stirring & how each musician takes it up, expands upon & deconstructs it before coming back to it is astounding! It strikes me as similar, to a degree, in its construction & progression to Ravel's Bolero, which I also consider one the greatest musical pieces of all-time. This piece just washes over and envelopes the listener in a moving, truly spiritual listening experience! Trane was & is the greatest Jazz saxophonist of all time!
Here's an original idea. Everybody needs to stop analyzing the music and just listen. I know that might sound corny, but why do people feel like they have to break the music down? Why does everybody feel like they have to be a music critic? Just listen!!!
@@georgethomas8594 Hey Buddy, my appreciation of music in general and Coltrane in particular is enhanced by analyzing how it's put together & flows from beginning to end. So you listen your way and let everyone else listen their way, o.k.? Who appointed you the master of how people listen to music? I guess knowing that Trane composed "Alabama" to flow like MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech wouldn't enhance your appreciation of it one iota? Might as well listen with deaf ears, then!
If you listen to John play Nancy with the laughing face it becomes increasingly clear what separates this man's music from the norm... that tone. His sound is angelic . The gospel of John
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written and to think that it's played even better! The Mona Lisa of Jazz💪🏾Every single time I listen to this track I am finding new gems within the same song, Amazing 😍
An "sentimental journey" of the ever lasting spirituality of eternal now governing soulselves consciousness acoustic tantrically sounds on this "A Train" of angels with prince Michael as Jesus Christ all stars road big band of Duke Ellington's sacred praise worshipping musical concerts beyond categories spiritually electro chemo magnetically subtle energies of biblical passages , readers n listeners as passengers of this bodies of angels travelers from heaven n back to 🌎 n , their musical testimonies rev.12:11 , blessesassurance.
Really, really amazingly beautiful version of this beautiful Coltrane masterpiece. The Contra double bassoon was a pleasant surprise. I need to get this CD Set. First time hearing this version. What a joy it is to hear something, a tune you know n like, sounds the same but different. That's why I love improvised music 😁
@@user-rd6vf7xk1x There really are a lot of killer ones, if you're into it. "Transition" is the best hardcore quartet performance most commonly overlooked IMO. He's getting close to free jazz, but there's enough structure to carry it like punkrock, and his solos are uniquely amazing, kind of panicked, obsessed with bursts of abstraction, understanding, then blues. Probably won't come up on the side, "coltrane transition."
Imagine what it must have been like seeing this at the VV - sitting a few feet from such power? It must have been taken the same emotional toll on the audience.
Some of today's players get close, maybe they are better composers or studied for a PhD, or practice all the time, but nobody can touch the spirituality of Coltrane's music. Nobody plays with that feeling, yearning and deep understanding.
I once heard a lady say jazz frightens me!! Perhaps if people knew how difficult this music is to play they may have a better appreciation of this classic music.
Coltrane is above and beyond Jazz. And if all the jazz artists didn't exist and only Coltrane existed, that would be enough to cover all the "gaps" .His music is the history of man, from the primitive form until today and forever. That's why Coltrane's music will always be borrowed from the future, like all masterpieces of art!
inertia27 is correct. Trane never played bebop, as he came after that era. You must be thinking about Charlie Parker. Trane was & is head & shoulders above Bird, who never had his improvisational & soulful brilliance!
@@gilbertroland1953 wrong! Bird lives in every jazz man's experimentations! He is one of the progenitors for the fierce uncompromising pursuit of artistic expression in the jazz tradition. No Bird, no Trane. And the former had it all, from the highest cultural sophistication to the most funkiest blues. Trane was similar, in his way.
His conceptions and ideas about what his music was and could be, were always there. Listening to his work with Miles and the K.O.B. ensemble, it is clear that he was beginning to define what would later become known as "The Coltrane Mystique." It was also becoming very clear that no bandstand was large enough to accommodate these two titans of jazz simultaneously. Like every great sideman, he knew when it was time to move on. 'Trane took the musical and stylistic experiences he had accumulated on the New York jazz scene, and transformed them all into his own voice, and the rest is music history. 🎷
This was a spiritual journey that Coltrane had to undertake to cleans himself from the physical world that was to much to experiance the peace and tranquillity of his life as man. After this composition Coltrane became one with nature and his music comprised of various elements of the beauty and the spiritual function of love and living. The music adopted a total New direction and meaning with the the spiritual concept inhibiting the canter position.
The Coltrane revolution was about evolution.. to me it's always been about not necessarily pursuing the answers but to give meaning where there may be none. The gospel of John
This is the cut! From the historic Village Vanguard sessions of the early 60's. This track comparatively speaking, and with deference to other takes he and Dolphy recorded together, is indeed...Spiritual!👑🎸🎵🎷
not sure if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last few weeks xD
Parker a précédé John Coltrane. C'est ce qu'on aime des Etats uni, la créativité y était de mise avec ces compositeurs géniaux, ils vivaient en recherche de spiritualité, les sons de tran sont inscrits dans nos gènes.....
Garvin Bushell: "When we played at the Vanguard Louise (Bushell's wife) was there. Louise is quite affected by music; she has a good sense of music and melodic line. After we finished she said 'I never heard anything that bad in my life.' She had a headache from the experience."
It may have been the contrabassoon. And the contrabass saxophone on that low note may not have made any difference. Some people can't take those very low frequencies.
All these computer-oriented, nominal musicians( I am being very generous with this word) who steal loops, samples, AI generated sounds and call it music need to hear this album. They are creating such noises with talent, soul, and true musicianship as opposed to a desire to be famous and rich. That is why today’s music is so god awful, our convenience driven selves have forgotten how to create, think independently, and grow!

Incredible Live Performance ,
So Much Emotion!
Its 1am I need to sleep but I can't as long as Trane is playing.

The gospel of John...
John had the ability to elevate you or sedate you! The more you listen the more he did both... what else can we say... The gospel of John
You got that right 👍🏿 Beautifully said 🥂💯💚
This is the first time I hear this version. Coltrane is the greatest saxophonist ever. Spiritual is also his best composition.
Remember "Hom Allah". I don't dream.
Also Equinox 🤷🏽♂️
And also so much other stuff! 🤣
King John, some things are immortal and will live forever all hail and long live the music of King John Coltrane.
Muchas gracias por compartir este diamante.
All the years listening to Trane this is a first for this version I 💘 it even more.
If you listen to John play Nancy with the laughing face it becomes increasingly clear what separates this man's music from the norm... that tone. His sound is angelic . The gospel of John

It doesn’t get any better
John Coltrane was on his spiritual journey . By this time he was employing free jazz elements.
The gospel of John..

Thanks so much. I can burn a tank of gas riding and listening to this.
I’ve actually done this
mee too
thanks so much!!! Viva Saint John :)
are you a bot?
The interplay between John and Elvin is Amazing.
Really, really amazingly beautiful version of this beautiful Coltrane masterpiece. The Contra double bassoon was a pleasant surprise. I need to get this CD Set. First time hearing this version. What a joy it is to hear something, a tune you know n like, sounds the same but different. That's why I love improvised music 😁
It,s a bass clarinet Eric Dolphy is playing, not a bassoon.
This is just out of this world..! A masterpiece .
Listen to Coltrane’s “out of this world”, the live at the showboat recording… gets me every time, just like this song

One of the most remarkable of Coltrane's modal pieces and this performance from the Village Vanguard is transcendent.....
One Love !
Transcendental piano and repetitive heartache storming through midnight
Imagine what it must have been like seeing this at the VV - sitting a few feet from such power? It must have been taken the same emotional toll on the audience.
Heaven calling!!!
Awesome, timeless, priceless.....
yes, a masterpiece, a fantastic recording, classic
Also " crescent " is one of the greatest free jazz albums of all time
Que maravilha. Obrigado.

Coltrane practised all the time.
he practiced all time, mentored by the best, people came to watch him practice
You are so correct, right on point.
The gospel of John...
The yearning, the endless yearning.
i really enjoyed this version. What a melody
Incredible.
Mind-blowingly phenomenal.
I thought nothing could match A Love Supreme, but this is right there.
I once heard a lady say jazz frightens me!!
Perhaps if people knew how difficult this music is to play they may have a better appreciation of this classic music.
Perhaps the mirror is truly a frightening to be...
She's just not in tune literally and figuratively! Lol

Amazing 🎶👌😊
Unreal.

The gospel of John..
JAM ON MAN JAM ON!!!
Absolution.
excellent.
1961!!!!! Three years before "A Love Surpreme"!! I had no idea he had this conception in his head so early, when he was still playing "bebop."
he wasn't playing bebop

Who are the 14 people who gave this a thumb down? Really??
not sure if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last few weeks xD
@Micah Kabir yea, have been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :D
Trane is God with tenor sax❤
Contrabassoon...unreal, almost! :-)
I agree contrabassoon only John coatrane would think of that instrument in a song and make it sound like it belongs
Who is playing it?!
Garvin Bushell is playing it
@@milest3560 wake up! John Coltrane!!!!
@@alessandromarchesini9039 Not Coltrane, but Garvin Bushell playing contrabassoon.
Long overdue, but I think I'm beginning to get it now
11:51 that is kinda hilarious hahaha awesomeeee!!
Some body help I can't turn him off.
Il n'y a personne qui remplace Coltrane.
