    People like John Coltrane planted seeds and left trees in the music industry to grow and pollinate. We must not live in the pass, but use the tools from the pass in order to learn to make the new. One love to John and his music.

    I love this song. It's as though after playing on So What, Trane thought "That's a great song, but it's way too cool. We need to light some heat under it." And what he came up with was HOT!

    Extraordinary piece of music - I think it will stand the test of time and be of great value 200 years from now. It is a great regret of mine that I passed up on the opportunity to meet Elvin Jones in the 1980's. I was not well at the time but mainly just young and stupid for not realising what I missed.

      back around the time this quartet was busy, I sat in the waiting room of a doctor in South Central. I realized that the two men sitting with me were Garrison and Tyner and were having a conversation about music when the door to the examination room swung open and out strode a big guy...the third member of this rhythm section. I never met Coltrane, although I had seen him play in Germany with Miles and the rest of the "So What" band, in 1960.

  • @robertvonbargen6836

    Back around 1963, I shared a waiting room in a doctor's office on West Jefferson in LA with Jimmy and McCoy while they waited for Elvin to be treated. When he came out, he filled the doorway. A gentle giant. This is the kind of rhythm section that could drive Trane to "play so long" as Miles put it.

    I heard Trane up-close live on four different occasions, in small clubs. I even saw him take one solo that lasted 1hr and 45min (I'm NOT kidding). I saw Hendrix in a small club also, right after the first album came out. Both were incredible. I did feel a Cotrane energy coming from Jimi - an intensity, unlike other rock guitarists. I would say that other than soloing in an open-end modal context and the drumming of Mitch Mitchell, the influence was more a transcendant energy. Both GREAT!

    This tune is written containing 2 modal scales! Like Miles So what they come from a harmonic chordal concept that's where all those notes come from. Miles resurrected a style that Europeans used early. This type of playing from these masters is remarkable. Elvin Jones is amazing supporting this music! Never too much harmony

    I feel like one of the reasons trane takes such long of solo's is so that he reaches that area of creativity that is completely new and untouched by himself or anyone else. I know that when I solo, after several minutes I begin to reach new ground and begin to inspire new things. As he progresses through the forms, his ideas begin to get more and more intense.

    This is from 'Live at Village Vanguard'. A super human effort to solo for that long at this intensity. How many critics branded what he and Dolphy were doing as 'anti-jazz' is shocking! These guys were clearly gods without question. It may have been good to hear Dolphy solo a bit on this cut but for me this was one of Trane's most important statements of intent. On the complete box set of the Vanguard recordings there is plenty of Eric!

    They call it D dorian because thats the mode theyre using its not "actually" in G mixolydian. They might play or imply a G mixo. sound at some points when they blow theyre generally using the dorian. and no C major and A minor arent necessarily interchangeable but theyre not necessarily not interchangeable. they sound different individually but when youre blowing they both work

    I think they're thinking of it generally in min7 keys but, as jazz musicians, like to use many superimpositions over the key, instead of just the same old imin7 arpeggios and pentatonic scales. Sometimes, this happens to come out as sounding more like the subdominant mixolydian key, especially if the players are emphasizing that arpeggio, but regardless, to them I think they're still just superimpositions over the overriding dorian key.

    You guys are all WAY overthinking this. The resting tone in the bass is G. The "inside" set of notes is the set of notes belonging to G mixolydian or D dorian or any other mode that can be generated by resequencing these notes, but what makes the sound "G mixolydian" is the fact that G is the resting tone in the bass. If you hear this as D dorian, you're not listening to the bass.
