Understandable sentiment, but greatest as far as what? In their respective grooves, the quartets of Kenny Garrett, Charlie Parker, Oscar Peterson (with Clark Terry or Roy Eldridge), Benny Goodman original, or Sidney Bechet (with James P Johnson, Baby Dodds and Pops Foster) have to be right up there as well...
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.
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.
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❤
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….
The dude that claimed the last video doesn't own the copyright, just a self-important RUclips channel owner. That prat fuck better not strike any more archived jazz recordings illegitimately to boost his own views
thank you so much for bringing back this absolute masterpiece on youtube! they made inspiring their way towards the end! where he left the stage for some ....... and let everybody hear what unbelievable excellent musicians he played with! and then when John came back on stage everything came together, wich was just fenomenal! i wished i was there in Belgium 1965! John Coltrane Quartet brings you into ecstasy🔥🙏♥️
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
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.
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.
All around Europe. Belgium, Paris, Copenhagen etc. I was so fortunate to be a student there, and everybody could afford a ticket. A wonderful time in cultural history.
I went back to '65 ,hoping , waiting to see Coltrane on the bill at the Austin Jazz Festival . Miles replaced him when he pulled out . His band, though inventive with Handcock , Shorter, and Tony Williams, were still playing versions of the sets Miles played with Trane. Coltrane kept moving till he couldn't move anymore.
I'm learning the first piece of music on Alto Saxophone and holy mackerel lol, I can't tell if he free formed the notes or intentionally played it that way..love you John Coltrane your music lives forever 🎶
A bit of both. He was absolutely meticulous about scales and was known for practicing nonstop even when warming up for concerts and was using the Fibonnaci Sequence to try and talk to God (whether intentional or not) but he was also just spraying notes out like a Tommy Gun at times. No one could ever call him one-dimensional that's for damn sure!

Toute la rancoeur d'un homme, au coeur blessé, transformé en beauté musicale. Musique puissante qui porte bien des stygmates. John et les autres ont eu des vies très difficiles... Gadam Mississippi, for exemple.NS. Ainsi, les voilà guerris ( pour un temps) ❤😢
A religious experience! This is way beyond jazz....Gospel gone cosmic! The second half of My Fav.is the most intense music ever recorded.How much music can four humans make? Elvin is basically soloing the entire time. Humble Trane never even looked up. One question...what keeps his horns from flying apart in his hands?
From a music-historical perspective, Trane and his quartet giving us this memorable concert at Comblain-la-Tour in rural Belgium on August 1, 1965 would have represented the equivalent of say the Berlin Philharmonic performing Beethoven’s Third Symphony in Nacogdoches, Texas. I certainly don’t want to patronize Nacogdoches, but wonder if the local arts folks would have been in the groove like the European Coltrane fans.
The very best musicians feeding on each others' energy... Superbly played... Perfectly recorded... sound and camera. History was made... John Coltrane... the bird. .. McCoy Tyner - a legend
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.
Theres a new kid, guitarist, plays modern Country Rock with Govt Mule ...Marcus King. Anyway, he stopped playing a couple of years ago to get a degree in Music Theory. He says in interview, if he could play his guitar the way John Coltrane played his Sax. Thats a compliment. Shows how far Tranes influence reaches . If you listen to this kid, youll hear a bit of Coltrane in his playing.
I am not qualified to to say that Coltrane was the best but for me he was the real thing. He played with passion and conviction , a true master of his instrument master of his his instrument.
Erstaunlich wie nonverbale Kommunikation das Sagbare für einen Moment ersetzen kann.. keine Beschreibung könnte diesen Mitschnitt erklären.. ich bin fassungslos, verwirrt und tief begeistert :0
fair question! this video is actually a re-up of the original which had the same title of live in belgium. but i do believe this performance took place there, at comblain-la-tour in 1965.
Probably the best quartet ever in the history of jazz
one of the soo many
I agree and have said so for decades, the greatest Quartet ever, followed by the George Adams/Don Pullen Quartet.
Brotzmannsax. Ha, I saw Peter Brotzmann with his quartet at the Bracknell Jazz Festival sometime in the 1970's@@brötzmannsax

Je suis tout à fait d'accord.

No one has done it better.
This isnt free improvisation at all
I believe what you say
Say it again bre😂😂😂😂@@Ronnie159102

I also think it's the best one I've seen.
Bearing in mind this is sixty years ago. The current kids still can't even emulate.
It's John Coltrane. No one could
by the end of 'my favorite things' I literally felt like I was in another place. somewhere far, very far.
of course, i wonder how the audience felt !
You were in another place...

McCoy is in Avatar form here.
My god McCoy Tyner.
He actually upstaged Coltrane?? Amazing. Coltrane realized it and let him go.
Unbelievable
He makes you think that three people are playing the piano. Amazing.
JC tapping into The Universe.
Yes, he was.
At the 24:00 minute, McCoy does NOT let us forget the fact that the piano... is still a percussion instrument!
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!...

The Bradford anomaly that was Allan.

The "like" buttom (👍) is not enough. This is amazing! My soul is burning❤🔥
John Coltrane and Elvin Jones.. a match made in heaven...
ジャズ初心者ですが、惚れました。音よりも先に魂が来る。最高ですね。
Superb musicians.
the last two minutes is like the greatest thing in music history
I'm Blessed knowing that I was on this Earth for two years with John Coltrane.
its so funny to me how a simple cute musical song was transformed into this goant avant-jazz modal monster
One of the best quartets ever! Thank you for sharing this live performance and blessing us with this masterful performance.
this drummer is a legend!
The great Elevin Jones from Pontiac Michigan. One of them Jones boys.
60's Berlin sounds like it was the place to be. So many legendary musical acts performed there
All around Europe. Belgium, Paris, Copenhagen etc. I was so fortunate to be a student there, and everybody could afford a ticket. A wonderful time in cultural history.
Naima was insane
John Coltrane is the best saxophonist.
I went back to '65 ,hoping , waiting to see Coltrane on the bill at the Austin Jazz Festival . Miles replaced him when he pulled out .

They are evaporating because human anatomy is incapable to manage the effects of creating that level of music.
So awe-inspiring! Every live performance of Mr. Coltrane is a treasure. Thank you for the upload!

You mean 'Trane'. Parker was the 'Bird'. Either way, both brilliant musicians.
私も同感です。神が作った音楽です。

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.
Absolute brilliance in every way. This is America being great.
well stated
もしかしたら、これがJazzの極北だったのかもしれない。
今に至る迄、Jazzはこれから前に進んではいない気がする。
Roba da perdersi tra quelli accordi fantastici❤
This is absolutely insane. Try to replicate this on a sax.
its impossible.
Something equivalent! 7:24

it does sound like crying
Look at his face 😮
Covered in pearls and wisdom!

As intense as it gets from note one. Unbelievable
He played his ass off, but what was “legendary” about this particular set?
Additional viewings required for some…
The Forward Motion To Ascension.....
Exquisite concert 🎵 It’s like going back in a time machine and seeing and hearing it all live. The recording is superb!
That's a lot more than just a few favorite things!
Walt said no to Coltrane on TheJjungle Book
a swing and a miss.. that soundtrack is weak sauce
Disney was a racist POS anyway
Que buen concierto
Not to quibble, but elsewhere it says this was in Paris also 1965?

Thank you! I was wondering where this went
Something about Trane.
