RIP to Roy haynes as of yesterday, November 12, 2024. One of the greatest to ever do it, with a sound so recognizable! As I return to old recordings, I cherish the fact that I even got to live in the same time as him. Aint no one like him! R.I.P
This is not only the greatest soprano solo , but probably the greatest sax solo I've ever heard ! Nobody comes close to Coltrane on tenor or soprano . He sounds like he has found total freedom to take it wherever he wants . Technical ability aside , he always plays from the soul and explores the spiritual realm .
This is the one that changed my life, like 8 years I did nothing but listen to John Coltrane. It's the second soprano solo at 9:17 I kept trying to play for people before realizing they just didn't generally get it at the level I was receiving, even if they were like, Pink Floyd instrumental fans. The RUclips viewcounts to this day sadly indicate most just don't get it.
@@gibberconfirm166 I could not agree more. Even at the darkest moment of my life, I have always found solace and hope in the mesmerizing intensity and creativity but also the human dignity of this performance. There is something sacred and timeless in their playing, and I'm always keeping this treasure in my heart.
this recording almost makes me cry with the way coltrane is able to so elegantly express emotion. I think he will forever be in my mind the greatest saxophonist of all time
@@pedrojoaquim756 man there are just so many incredible recordings of this tune (Copenhagen ‘63, Belgium ‘65, Japan ‘66, etc.) that seem definitive on their own. You can talk about all the ways one might be the best but at a certain point you end up just talking about how certain parts of the recording resonate with you personally and it becomes a totally subjective game. I tend to view every version as equally valid and “perfect” as simply one point in its evolution
I had the pleasure of attending this festival and without a doubt this performance was a classic for all time. When we land on another planet we need to take this recording with us as a gesture of good will . Any being will understand.
They have this version in Coltrane's collection on the Emirates planes, and everytime I'm on a 10+ hour flight with them I play this on repeat for at least 3 hours of my trip!
Without being a classroom developed instrumentalist, this is not even comprehensible 4REAL. I know the value of the uncles who enabled me this sound from 60 YEARS ago embedded in my memory, priceless
I'm not counting, but it's possible that I've listened to this a hundred times, and I appreciate it more each time. Miracle #1 is that he isn't even playing his "usual" instrument, but playing soprano sax. The only other supreme master of the soprano that I know of is Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) who (along with Louis Armstrong) began the long and glorious tradition of the jazz soloist. Bechet was brilliant, but Coltrane takes this instrument to places it's never gone, before or since. Miracle #2 In parts of this he sounds like he is playing two instruments at once, moving (seemingly) effortlessly between octaves. These passages remind me of Rahsaan Roland Kirk playing two and even three horns at once and making it sound great, like a tight 2 or 3-man horn section. Coltrane is creating this effect with one instrument. Miracle #3 The sheer amount of breath and breath control that this requires is staggering to behold. This also reminds me of Rahsaan and his utter mastery of circular breathing, as well as playing with immense power. Both played with a profound depth of soul. Miracle #4 The incredible quality of the sound recording, being able to hear everything Roy Haynes and Jimmy Garrison are doing, and getting most of the subtleties of McCoy Tyner's playing. I can't hear any distortion when John is playing so intensely that you'd think the mic might fail. We owe a debt of gratitude to the person who captured this, hopefully for all time, since this is one of the greatest artistic musical performances of all time. Miracle#5 The transcendent beauty and creativity of the playing all through the piece, but especially as things wrap up from 16:20ish to the end. Miracle #6 This piece is beyond music and is in the realm of healing. Miracle #7 That this was 1963 and a version of this was actually a "hit" which gave John a measure of success, which allowed him to explore ever higher planes of free expression in the following years. PS I wonder how many in the audience had any idea how great this performance was and is, and I wonder how many other great performances John gave that were not recorded.
Simply the Greatest transformation of a classic by the greatest Jazz musician Ever , Astounding He is Still Alive through his music until the world cease to exist .
Since my father was a Jazz fan, I started listening to Jazz at age six (1966). Didn't discover Coltrane until I was 12, when I began playing Tenor Sax. I could never approach Coltrane. I could play over chord changes, but couldn't match his speed. This brings back memories of my teen years listening to Jazz and Reading Science Fiction and J. R. R. Tolkien. I miss those days. But, I still have the music ... and the books.
Germany in the 60's is where I first heard him and I'm still listening to him. This and "Giant Steps" are the reason I joined the Church of John Coltrane in SF.
G-R-E-A-T indeed! Real, real good! I love it! Reminds me of my wonderful DAD! Jacquelyn from Philadelphia (Philly baby!)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊 EXCELLENT with a capital E!!!!!!!
Heard tell when McCoy was a mere lad his mum invited a noted pianist to come. play on the family piano, undoubtably strongly influencing young McCoy greatly--alltime jazz great Bud Powell--and in the City of Philadelphia.
Transcendent!!💜🌄🌠🙏🏾 Absolutely one of the greatest live musical performances ever done!!! This piece can heal you if your ready and desire it of the modern day blues that afflict so many souls today!!!! Try it and feel better💜🌞
I NEVER get tired of hearing this tune from COLTRANE! My old boss said that he saw Trane in Philly & he played this joint for 3 hours & no one in the club was annoyed.
Stunning. I used to think this recording was from 1968 or 1969. 1963 was another geological age. WAY ahead of its time. Stunning courage and fearlessness. BRILLIANCE.
There is a subtle releasing of energy and at the same time some kind of in taking peacefulness. Some dancing sandals stomping the material essence of the world while flying with some mysticism that I imagine new and rarely celebrated for ourselves in this litoral of the universe. Most probably Coltrane needed it for his own good and pleasures; it delights me likewise, it is simply beautiful and like it...thanks!!
Coltrane is always wonderful and plays intensely. What makes peculiar this version in my opinion is Roy Haynes drumming, so different from Elvin Jones' and the high quality of the recording that makes you hear every single note played by Jimmy Garrison. Beautiful!
when this version of mft was 1st released on the selflessness lp that introduction sounded so dramatic that they tacked it onto the end of mft- the intro was actually after the end of "impressions" from the same set which wasn't released until it came out on cd
“My Favorite Things” John Coltrane “Newport ‘63 Album”. John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner piano, Roy Haynes on Drums , Jimmy Garrison on Bass. Is the undisputed standard for “My Favorite Things”…..Just compare any, any other version. Roy Hanes, Drummer the Star, incredible, from the first beat to the last beat. Listen to the Talking “Drums”. How gracious is John Coltrane to McCoy Tyner to continue the flow with an incredible solo. Jimmy Garrison keeps the bass the grounded. John Coltrane, RIP…. This is “My Favorite Things”, This is “My Love Supreme”.
Just for the record, I'm not Mary, I'm her husband using her Google account. I used to think Coltrane's music sounded like a catfight, I couldn't abide it for the longest time. But tonight, after a strong dose of my plant-based medicine, I think I get it. He produces sounds from a soprano sax that shouldn't be humanly possible. He must have been physically and mentally drained after that. This is my new favorite thing!
John Coltrane u are awesome as ever, taking ur sexyfone to way above the next level!! Thank you for leaving us this great legacy of music God bless you where ever you are, Sennen Antonio Dourado Wisconsin Milwaukee's Mumbai India.
I agree, when I first heard this recording I quite literarily felt breathless and in a trance....the band are like magicians creating alcemeeeey.....just a wonderful expression of ensemble jazz playing.
There's nothing like the NJF in the world. No other Jazz Festival in world even comes close to it. It is now in good hands with Christian McBride as its musical director after the passing away of its founder George Wein last year.
I knew the studio take well and enjoyed it, but you can't understand what the song meant to Coltrane until you hear how he played it during different phases of his career. In 1961, he was still exploring the melodic potential of the tune, most interestingly in tandem with Eric Dolphy on live recordings from that year. The melodicism peaked in 1963, with the stunning versions on Newport '63 and Afro Blue Impressions (the latter is my favorite)
trolling the comments of the studio version of MFT a thumbsdowner posited a bitch that they never played the refrain starting with "when the dog bites..." which is categorically untrue. In fact, it's around 12:35 in that rendition, 16:11 here, and for me the pivot point of the whole recording. It's as prime an example of JC "derailing his own train" and powerfully funneling us listeners through emotive moments as exists--period. I kind of prefer the studio rendition of the song for its subtlety, though I hardly want to disagree with anyone for whom this recording is their personal fav.

my fave is Sonny Rollins.
I was 11 when this concert took place. Didn't experience it, but was able to catch the Newport Festival around 1969, and saw a lot of great acts.
Roy Haynes on drums...He's still bringing it in 2022 at 97 years young!
I LOVE Roy Hanes. Does he still gig? If so, where?
@@bivvystridents3752he died today 11/12/24 At age 99.
@@blipperUT Rest in peace to Roy Haynes. A real master of the craft.
After 30 years, still one of my all-time favorite Coltrane performances.
This is the Main Sound! The sound that puts the Sun in its place! It’s the sound of the Universe exploding with joy and clarity!
Hands down the best version of this song. Everything is perfect about it.
I wonder is there a video of this?
Respectfully disagree. But, who am I to judge Coltrane's music (especially "My Favorite Things")

Yup.
Recorded over 50 years ago but just as relevant today !!!
YES!
Sounds like he's having sooo much fun!!!
It is a wonderful performance and it is a performance of selflessness that can not be compared with other
Mr Coltrane is forever
THIS HELPED ME DEVELOPE MY TRUE INTEREST IN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC BACK THEN. HAD UNCLES EXPOSED ME.THANKS TO BOTH...
Once again we have this really total vibration from the whole Quartet! Praise the Lord and this entire quartet!
I had never heard of John Coltrane until my high school grad night when someone put on this recording of My Favourite things. It changed my life.
My "Favorite Jazz Song" of all Time! Thanks Ancestor TRANE!🌈🎼🎉🎶😇
LOVE THIS!!!
コルトレーンの演奏の中で、やはりこれが一番好きだ。
努力する天才、であった彼が、出来る事を全て解き放ち、ノリにノッて爆発したような大熱演。
この演奏をしている時、彼は「巨人」を超え、「聖者」であった、と思う。
To me, that seems to be his most iconic version ever.
@soukous25 What a master he was. Still kicking it after almost 60 years.
@@luigipucci3008 ABSOLUTELY!!!
Best intro to any song ever. Just breathtaking.

He died in 67
Coltrane tears it up like nobody else. It's a whole new level
YES!
what an awesome version so much talent . unreal ...
Originally released on an album titled Selflessness-agree that this is the greatest sax solo I have ever heard!
There is a subtle releasing of energy and at the same time some kind of in taking peacefulness.

Just stunning! Best live version by far, not the longest but best!
I'm using this for study. Education is fair use! Every musician should know this 17 minutes of music.
Every human should hear it. ;)
as a kid/young sax player, I fantasized us broadcasting this into the universe 🙌🏽
コルトレーンはこの曲を生涯愛しましたね〜ジャズファンも彼の演奏を愛しました🎶🤔😃
This man was not of this world. The best 🙏🏻

Roy Haynes snare is a work in itself. Let alone everything else.
Mr. Roy Haynes!
Coltrane is always wonderful and plays intensely. What makes peculiar this version in my opinion is Roy Haynes drumming, so different from Elvin Jones' and the high quality of the recording that makes you hear every single note played by Jimmy Garrison. Beautiful!
Great muzhik vz
Roy Haynes!🥁🙌🏽
Yup, still goosebumps down the neck
Just the greatest.
This performance changed my life at 16.
🌈🎷My Favorite Sax song of John Coltranes!
Love the way Roy tunes the snare with that loose trap sound! ❤️

Unmatched enjoyment.
やっぱトレーンのMy favorite thingsは、このNEWPORT版が1番イイ！ Roy Haynes , OMG !
同感です。こんなスピード感のあるこの曲はこれだけ。ロイ・ヘインズさまさまですね。私もMy favoriteのパフォーマンスはこのNewportです。ミキサーのバランスが残念；
Coltrane at Newport in 1963 may have been the Jazz event of the century.
All great
Ravi is great
I love those flat note accents..how they feel so 👍
Captures sadness and joy in one hypnotic tour de force.
They cut it short !!! Wtf !!! "JOHN COLTRANE, MC COY TYNER, JIMMY GARRISON, ROY HAYNES." THE BEST PIECE OF MUSIC EVER !!!!
when this version of mft was 1st released on the selflessness lp that introduction sounded so dramatic that they tacked it onto the end of mft- the intro was actually after the end of "impressions" from the same set which wasn't released until it came out on cd
WOW WOW AN MORE WOW !!!!
What a beginning! This is Genesis 🎹
The best live record ever made.
So light and restrained! I think about Joe Morello also whose drums was singing that deilcate .

Yeah coz gives his listener's a new kinda high!!!!!
I would give my left hand to have video of this. Everyone search their collections.
I am SURE it’s out there somewhere.
This is an amazing artistic statement.
I'm glad when my national radio is on strike, they're able to broadcast that version
Guau increíble esta versión ♥️
holy holy
Blessed
JOHN COLTRANE (s sax), McCoy Tyner (p), Jimmy Garrison (b) and Roy Haynes (d).
This is one of the greatest recordings in history if you ask me.
I've never heard brush work this dynamic! (Tony Williams - drums)
I cant believe I missed your comment. This is not Tony, this is Roy Haynes.
I agree, when I first heard this recording I quite literarily felt breathless and in a trance....the band are like magicians creating alcemeeeey.....just a wonderful expression of ensemble jazz playing.

Bruh knows his Trane....
and at the end of his career he plays the infamous olatunji version
What about his '66 quintet renditions, q.v. Japan 1966
There is little to add.
This is the greatest soprano solo of all time bar none , I am a musician so I think I know
Merveilleux.
Get em Roy
McCoy Tyner is no slouch on this recording either. Just wonderful piano playing.
so much blues-ier and metronomic - ...sure it's him?
Hear, hear!
Sounds like elephants mating..in a good way..fantastic!
“THERE IT IS”🤙🏼
Fantástico sonido!
A Version Supreme!!
Incredible jazz, beyond words...
