Their bodies are playing hard and sweating but their souls are free and floating above their bodies. I'm a musician and this is my favorite reason for free improvisation. The liberation of the human soul. Few have done it better than these guys.
I was born to a father who was a lifelong student of Jazz. By age five or six my learning began. Hes gone 20 years but he left me the gift of realizing Jazz is a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and development of a deeper appreciation of the art. Thanks Dad .i love you.
I was so sad this video was taken down!!!!! Thank you for reuploading! This is my favorite concert of all time and this video needs to be saved for the world to see…. This night the coltrane quartet ripped a hole through time and space and transferred everyone a vibrational wavelength to tune into in order to be immersed in the great astral plane….
Trane always was looking for the lost note. A friend of mine saw him in Philly not long before he died and said he stopped playing and began beating his chest and yelling while doing it. Trane said near the end he didn't know what else he could do. He was exhausted of ideas. One man can only do so much, I guess.
Everytime i watch this i cry. I think this is the most beautiful performance ive ever seen. I feel I am watching divine emergence into matter. Deep bow to Saint Coltrane,Jones,Garrison and Tyner❤
The greatest modal player in jazz, only rivaled by, heh, McCoy Tyner. Miles set the table for fusion, but Coltrane''s influence was enormous in progressive and avant garde rock. Both Allan Holdsworth and Christian Vander cried, were gutted for weeks after his death. And you feel the spirit of Coltrane in Allan, conjugating all the harmonies.
I always love how Jimmy Garrison singing his bassline while he plays can be louder than his bass at times. But him and Elvin Jones, what a rhythm section
Literally four pistons going off at the same time. Truly one of the best quartets of all time. Been over three years since the loss of McCoy Tyner, the last survivor to die in the John Coltrane quartet.
Vehement agreement with all the previous comments; just want to add an appreciation for the camera work and editing of this masterpiece which documents the astounding heights of soul, humanity, and expression that Trane and this iconic quartet achieved in the '60's, setting an Olympian marker for generations to emulate.
Coltrane is a minister unconcerned about popularity from his congregation. Speak the faith! Also, there's nothing more musical than this anywhere. The capping of the whole development out of Armstrong's hot five, right here.

My god McCoy Tyner.

Probably the best quartet ever in the history of jazz

Bearing in mind this is sixty years ago. The current kids still can't even emulate.
They are evaporating because human anatomy is incapable to manage the effects of creating that level of music.
Absolute brilliance in every way. This is America being great.
by the end of 'my favorite things' I literally felt like I was in another place. somewhere far, very far.

Coltranes solo after McCoy's first solo gave me goosebumps

Elvin was damn near jumping out of his seat to hit those licks on the bass drum! Damn brother, you were the best!...
