    Unlike the other "Jazz Casual" programs, Coltrane let's his music do all the talking. Gleason holds no conversations with Coltrane, but he does with Gillespie, Basie, Brubeck, Cannonball etc. This is just the way Coltrane does it.

      Totally agree. One of the great jazz bassists and one of the best bass soloists. I love McCoy Tyner, one of my favorite piano players, but I always wished Coltrane would have done a trio album with him and Jimmy Garrison, with either Elvin Jones or Rashied Ali. Luckily we have tracks like "Chasin' the Trane" and "Up 'Gainst the Wall."

      Elvin Jones said he was an "Angel on earth." He didn't speak very much. He let his horn do the talking.
      Reggie Workman, Coltrane's other great bassist in his quintet years said he was "my grits and gravy, morning tea."

    So was this on T.V. , man what has happend to us? There are some great modern jazz peeps who could get cool exposure on T.V. There was a really cool show couple of years ago The David Sanborn show that did some of that but now its all just CZcams and online, which is cool but the major nets should still do this too. Not trying to be old or something just wondering why were not opening our minds more, in the popular public venues such as T.V. This is of course not including PBS which does some .

    • @RobCatterton
      @RobCatterton Před 3 lety +2

      interestingly, this was taped on PBS -- on KQED, San Francisco. It is rare when the heroes of any generation made it to broadcast TV in such a stretched out, luxurious form. This series, "Jazz Casual" was hosted by Ralph J. Geason, a jazz columnist. Just finding this for the first time -- I watched Earl "Fatha" Hines on the same show earlier and as a pianist it was eye-opening for me. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

    • @sitarnut
      @sitarnut Před 3 lety +5

      Frank..spot on..many reasons why this has happened to us. I remember in 1959 on our three channel B & W TV we could see within one week see Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck Quartet and Miles Davis !! Mostly on the original "Tonight" show.. hosted by massively intelligent and funny Steve Allen...Those days are gone. I suspect in each succeeding generation mediocrity increasingly rises to the top, whilst standards sink further to the bottom.
