John Coltrane: My Favourite Things - East meets West -
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- John Coltrane's interpretation was influenced by music from the Indian subcontinent. This tribute therefore makes total sense. The Sachal Jazz ensemble from Lahore, Pakistan and the Wynton Marsalis quintet at The Marciac jazz festival, July 2013. #Makejazznotwar! The magic in this arrangement for me is Baqir Abbas on flute!
#BaqirAbbas #Bansuri #JohnColtrane #myfavouritethings #Jazz #eastmeetswest
Baqir Abbas is my blood brother. More powerful, mystical and soul stirring than his mastery of this piece of bamboo called a bansuri, is the man himself and his character.
Would you happen to know which Bansuri (scale) Baqir Abbas is using?

@@QArts Thank you so much!
Hassan Khan, any chance coming to New York soon?
Man, I still can’t get over Walter’s solo at 2:45. Never fails to give me goosebumps
Whatcha doin up so early
fancy seeing you here
It’s incredible…. And those 2 accents on 2and and 3 the drummer plays at the end of his solo 3:18 !!! Beautifully placed…
It's something John would play on his soprano.... So good
The extended B he plays at 3:32 is just genius, I think about it a lot. Definition of 'less is more'.
Western music is like a casual walk on a busy city life and Eastern music is like that of calm breeze of the nature.. THE COMBINATION IS PERFECT
A casual walk in nature?
@@drink15 A calm breeze of nature hitting your face as you walk on a busy city street.
This song is among my favorite things
X2!
kek
Good one 😂
mine too
Yes!
Can we please talk about how amazing that pianist is. He adapts McCoys sound and even his harmonic approach at the phrasing and turns it into something yet different and individual.
Yes!
Dan Nimmer is a beast
I agree, his interpretation is very good.
Absolutely
Piano is WEAK
That flute has a lovely warm tone.
@Kevin Olschesky that's a bamboo from North India
@@nuciferance lmao
@@tabbbasco_sauce4545 the other type of bamboo flute is made from the bamboo found in southern India it is called kuzhal
@@nuciferance huh, interesting. Do you know if it has a different sound?
@@tabbbasco_sauce4545 yeah bansuri has a husky tone like the one in this video while the kuzhal has a sharp tone
musical meets jazz meets indian classical music... yes...
All according to plan.. 😏
Pakistani classical music
@@hassaanawan367 while the musicians are from lahore, the instruments themselves are mainly hindustani no?
@@meowlmeowl-gi4925 its hard to differentiate because the existence of these instruments date back to indo pak division but the classical music is same, because both countries use the same ragas, garaian, thaps etc
@@hassaanawan367 ye that's what i thought
But divisions aside, Baqir Abbas is an absolute monster on that bansuri
I don't understand the 652 people who posted a thumbs down on this wonderful music, if you don't like it, go play with yourselves esewhere !
some folks only like canned, processed stuff!!!
Still mind blowing 🤯
frankdeblock-burij2899 go back to third grade to learn how to......spell English
Truth is they are not really music lovers or even understand what music is.
Com certeza, foram os "ouvintes" de alguma suuuuuuuper "diva" pop.
Every musician shines here, but that flute solo 👌
Thanks to All 💐🙏
baqir abbas your the real MVP
Baqir Abbas A truly beautiful, breathtaking performance. Bravo
amazing, one of the few recordings of this tune that i’ve fallen in love with
Mr. ABBAS.... Bravo!
Great Performance. Greetings from Brazil!
It's wonderful to know that there are musicians from Pakistan that have listened to Coltrane, Miles, Dizzy, and all the giants of jazz!
Coltrane would sadly shake his head at this *watered down* , *"smooth jazz"* , *"adult contemporary"* version... Go hear Coltrane play the real thing...: both the ~20 minute audio & filmed version.
@@northstarmind1049bro you are either on crack or don t know a thing about jazz or saint john coltrane himself
Jazz is truth ....truth is universal .... transcending time ... staying fresh ...staying true to the moment...the player stays in the moment.
"Make Jazz not war" man that is a # to live by. That is my new motto!
Amen!
It's been my motto for years and swear by it.....imagine the world if we actually did!
I am down with that.
@@QArts Thanks for posting this. Great version and I love the Sitar bit in it. And to think I was not sure Indian music would be compatible with this song.
My husband's favorite song, even when he lost his memory....😢
Fantastic fusion. I'm sure Coltrane would have dug it. Thanks for posting, Hassan.
in some ways , but remember his later music moved far away from this sort of arrangement
@@chrisdann1226 yeah, but he still would have appreciated the music. just because he moved on, he never forgot all of his prior music.
Alice might have dug it even more than John.
A fusion of to cultures brings worldwide pleasure.
3:05 when the sax releases that tension it gives me goosebumps
That bansuri solo was astounding!!!
😅
4:43 gave me so much life
This is how we remove the separatists' boundaries of people's and cultures, emersive musical journies synchronizing our cultures through music in harmony. If it could all be so simple.
Honestly this one of the best comments regarding music fusion that i have ever read, is so nice to share this words with us and the music is amazing 👍
Music is universal.
When the guys plays the bansuri it sounds like a warm fall day with orange leaves all around 🍁🍂🧡
It’s amazing how through music we can come together from different nationalities, religion, parts of the world, etc. and connect with one another. The vibe and energy can be seen and felt🔥👏🏾
Behold the power of music. One of the elemental gifts of life that binds us all together.
Amen
Jesus christ, this is one of the best live jazz performances of all time
'To commemorate the half century that has passed since Coltrane's death, many will revisit his most famous songs (“My Favorite Things,” “In a Sentimental Mood”) and records (Giant Steps, A Love Supreme, Blue Train). Jul 17, 2017'

If this is not a masterpiece then I don’t know what it is. Amazing I’m speechless 😶
Totally agree with you. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s amazing.
It is a Masterpiece.
Great arrangement. The sax sounds like Coltrane's and when the flute starts it's pure magic.
Yes indeed!!!!!!
Absolutely breathtaking!!!!!!!
As a tabla player myself, the true hero is Ustad Ijaz Hussain Baloo Khan. Truly magnificent tabla playing!
That Indian flute is the most expressive instrument of all that are on stage and the flutist solo is top-notch
Poets are true: only music can bring people together.
Am I lying?
and FOOD!
sex too :)
Any form of art can bring people together, whether it be music or y’know, art.
And the circular breathing by the tenor player was mind blowning.
This is the kind of musical experience I didn’t know I needed until watching this video... incredible!
This is awesome. This is a perfect example of how music unites people from all over the world.
EAST MEETS WEST CROSS OVER MUSIC AT IT'S VERY BEST.
Salutations to all Maestros.
Heavenly Music.
Thanks.
that tabla player has an agreement with time, i swear to god
Be sure to look up Ustad Zakir Hussain if you want to hear some virtuosic tabla.
@@smartacious Tabla beat Science.
the tenor player sounds just like coltrane that’s incredible
No he doesn't
East meets West, West meets East: our whole planet with a 'little' help of John Coltrane!!
👍
But getting to east from west takes a giant step though
And Eric dolphy...
This is like a moment of completion. I'm in tears listening to this. Because St John was inspired by Hindu spirituality to pursue the making of this album.
I didn't know Keegan-Michael Key played such beautiful flute!
😂😂😂
😂👍🏿
Seeing this in person must’ve been so impactful
This went from cool to outer worldly intelligent and mesmerizing type of music that can be made when certain lines are erased. What a treat first class performance
My brother, BERNARD MOORE was a horn player and flutist, who, back in circa. '70's, in HIS MIND, always HEARD JAZZ AND THIS EASTERN MUSICAL CULTURE TOGETHER. I CAN IMAGINE, that this is EXACTLY what HE HEARD in his mind...thanks, brothers...
Magical. The intersection of this quintessential of African American art forms with the very best of traditions from Pakistani music. The tabla master is spellbinding and the master of the bansuri sends me to the very best of places.
Just lovely, lovely ✌🏾.
Winton Marsalis is a genius. The musicians he brings together, INCREDIBLE.
Ballu Khan, Bakkar Abas, and the gentleman on the Sax were amazing. I enjoyed it all.
that run at 4:40 was smooth as hell
Ty H damnnn
In my opinion, what makes it special is that the player starts on a mode that is often associated with his instrument, but then suddenly switches to a very "western" mode now seen in contemporary jazz. He's saying, "I can do this too." In a similar fashion, Coltrane's recording starts with him playing in the style of the bebop that was established at his time, but as the track goes on, he switches into something akin of a Sufi/Dervish chant (I read this somewhere.)
Yes, what a beautiful run ...
The F# at the end of that run really made the whole piece for me. It's good to know that I wasn't the only one who was gushing over it.
The run is special because of the sudden changes in chordal structures, away from the mode.
Drums and percussion exceptionally great at hitting the right timing: very original and soothing
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!
wonderful magic ! I love every second ! & the Bansuri is just divine !
DYNAMITE! Coltrane always sends me sweet memories
when east meets west. truly amazing!
One of The best if not the best arrangement I've heard of "my favorite things"
the drummer is slaying! magnificent
He sounds like Elvin
Ali Jackson can KILL
Love this.
When they *complement* each other.
Jazz and ethnic music playing amazing theme!
Interesting mix within western and eastern culture, trough the best music. Congratulations to all involved!
John Coltrane was introduced to me by my lecturer, Prof Norbert Novtnt at RHODES UNIVERSITY in GRAHAMSTOWN South Africa. Great artist
The flute solo brought me to tears, so beautiful
I love John Coltrane and "My Favourite Things" is one of my favourites. I randomly stumbled upon this and was blown away, their interpretation brings it to a whole new level.
I'm on a night shift tonight, and I'm going to replay this on my headphones when I'm on my break, around 4am, and going to fully immerse myself in it and lose myself to joy and wonder, away from the stress.
This is stunningly beautiful, totally transported and so grateful to be able to sit here a with my eyes closed and listen - many thanks for this great gift of sound.
I just keep coming back to this clip...
Gosh, that flute player is amazing
What a wonderful piece of music. Thanks.🧼😎
Beyond amazing!!! That flute player is off the chain!!!!
Merci Monsieur MARSALIS , tous les musiciens, le saxophoniste extraordinaire colonne d'air formidable, les jazzmen disparus doivent vous entendre, sont présents sur ce festival de musique , je suis très heureux de vous écouter, quelle ouverture d esprit de tolérance , je pense aussi d ´AMOUR
Monsieur COLTRANE sûrement aime votre hommage
Merci
Don’t know how I got here but I’m grateful. Amazing beautiful rendition.
Great musicians. Great blend of instruments.👍🏿
This is just amazing music. I hope they do this again soon.
Who ever thought this piece of jazz music up, is unbelievable. So fresh, yet so back in the day!
This is the most Beautiful Elegance!!! Everytime that I hear this composition it touches something in me that I can't explain. This performance is so deep that I can't stop the tears from flowing!!! Wow...the power of sound/music. Thanks to all the people involved in making this concert possible.
RUclips on autoplay, Happened on this accidently...
I couldn't change it!
Amazing! Amazing sound, mix of cultural instruments, the
musicians, the skill level and most of all - the beauty of Jazz..
WOW! just...WOW!
Outstanding!!! My favorite Coltrane song!
Kudos to the flute player for all the beauty that came out of that piece of wood. And to the drummer for capturing the spirit of the late, great Elvin Jones.
I was recommended this by a friend of mine, needless to say I was blown away!!! Phenomenal job to all involved!
My favourite things with a mystic air...... Wow!
I'm shook! I've listened on repeat about 100 times XD love this mixture of styles
I thought I was the only one with this on repeat about one hundred and eleven times!!!!!! Truly amazing isn't it !!!!!!
Love this masterpiece 💜
Me be a sad f..small listener of jazz. Now know what I missed...sitar, my heavens. Genius 😩👴🏽🙏🏽✊🏾👍🏾❤️
with this song they make everyone love jazz.
A NY Jew writes a melody in the US based off a fairly traditional European style, which is his lineage, as a sort of folksy homage to the aristocratic Austrian Waltz, reinvented as a show tune. Then a genius descended from slaves in that same New World reimagines that melody and its harmonies according to the impulses and improvisations of Jazz, undeniably a uniquely American art form, and it becomes a standard in another unique way. From there, another genius from a highly musical family raised up out of a French colony gets insanely famous due to his immense talents, goes on the road and undertakes all kinds of fantastic projects, never losing sight that he is a teacher and his curriculim is music. And now we have this. Thank You....this is proof of Heaven. And my gratitude is boundless...
Walter Blanding blows me away on that 10M Naked Lady tenor sax. Coltrane would have LOVED this session!
Bringing tears in my eyes.. Seeing east and western.. Musicians on stage.. Playing and sharing this wonderful music together..
Man, it opened up at 4:43. That passage! Wow! Just wow!
John Coltrane. The Best of The Sax. Wow
i love the run at 4:25 to 4:34 so much. Had to keep replaying it, it's a caress.
That one good but the real killer is right after at 4:42
Really nice arrangement. Usually I’m hella picky on this tune but y’all more than nailed this. this was worth the price of admission
The haunting sounds of the Indian instruments fit nicely with the jazz instruments. Well done Wynton. Of course this couldn't be achieved without the help of these brilliant musicians
This is what enlightenment sounds like
So difficult to play that bansuri flute. . beautiful. . stunning arrangement. True in music as well: E Pluribus Unum
Sax & Flute were absolutely amazing! wow
Lord have mercy!!! That bamboo stick broke me!!!!!
Love Walter Blanding, top shelf, under appreciated tenor sax player!!!
Mckoy Tyner brilliantly suggested to John Coltrane that they do My Favorite Things. At first Trane thought it was a corny idea.
But later trashed that thought.
wunderbar!!!!
wunderschön!!
schade dass es Coltrane nicht hören kann!!!!!!!!!
Good God, that stick of wood in that master’s hands ...
❤
The sitar or flute?
It's called a Bansuri. I am learning it myself since few years....you can check my channel...I play mostly small tunes...
It's bamboo!
Baqir Abbas is my blood brother. More powerful, mystical and soul stirring than his mastery of this piece of bamboo called a bansuri, is the man himself and his character.
Exquisite Lahore Team
Wow! That sound from bamboo is so much more mellow than metal. When I heard the eastern instruments, and then the tenor sax I understood some of what Coltrane was doing with his instrument. This was amazing. I hope Marsalis and company recorded a jazz album with Sachal Jazz ensemble. The "cool" is back.
Thank you, musicians, for celebrating life as you do.
OMG!!! That's just.... yeah...pure magic!!!
These are great musicians no question. But they have only proven the untouchable greatness of the master John Coltrane, who took this simple piece to multi universal realms, expressively, harmonically, melodically, and forever pure.
This was an amazing rendition...I almost cried 👏🏽👌🏽🙏🏾💕
The mastery of their instruments notwithstanding as seen here, the unspoken communication between the musicians is as mysterious to me as the brilliance of the sound. Are there two conductors here? I don't know what I'm seeing, but I DO know that I am captured by this sound in every cell of my body. Musicians hear the music of the universe and interpret it for us lesser beings so that we may hear it too. We recognize it too but could never produce it. God bless them for helping us understand with our ears.
