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.
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.
i'm british pakistani this is one of my fav videos that make me proud to be pakistani!! im a huge jazz fanatic and pianist. hope I can make music that moves people like this one day
@@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.
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.

I really like that flautists' sound, it's clear he worked really hard to get that kind of a sound out of that instrument, even though I've never heard any other bansuri flutes before.
@@zangsax I've been playing the flute for 50 years too, and agree, but the main thing is, that guy's ability to get all that out of a type of flute that one would think isn't suitable for complicated western jazz (it certainly wasn't designed for this kind of music) is astounding.

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🔥👏🏾
@@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

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.
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...
When I play in bands and we are "tight", the hairs on my arms and the back of my neck stand up. I felt this after only 2:00 mins in. Jazz and the Culinary Arts are what I hope will be the basis for peace in our time. Tasting different cuisines while listening to the musical expression of the world is a dream, not even the UN could achieve. Cheers!
When you function at this level, few people get you, can even comprehend you. I'm a kit drummer since 1962, and I only know this is excellence being played by masters, each one of them!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
I knew Coltrane named his son Ravi. But never knew they mixed Jazz Sax with Sitar and they did it so well. Wonderful, everybody! Sax greatly played. Flute and Tabla kind of softened up for Jazz? Not sure, but it is so beautifully played, especially the flute part. Wow. Big shout out to all of you and thank you!
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.
No, the magic did not start at 3:45. We just missed the magic at 3:00 because of the camera jumps. The sax player gave us a fine example of circular breathing. Seamless!
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.
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.
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.

A casual walk in nature?

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'.
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

@@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
Holy shit that's the most beautiful sounding flute I've heard in my 50 years. Beautiful composition.
The phrasing or inflection, I'm not sure what it's called, on that flute is beyond human!
Rogers and Hammerstein. Two of the greatest composers in musical history

Jazz is truth ....truth is universal .... transcending time ... staying fresh ...staying true to the moment...the player stays in the moment.
Every musician shines here, but that flute solo 👌
"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.

It's wonderful to know that there are musicians from Pakistan that have listened to Coltrane, Miles, Dizzy, and all the giants of jazz!

amazing, one of the few recordings of this tune that i’ve fallen in love with
Mr. ABBAS.... Bravo!
Great Performance. Greetings from Brazil!
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.
Great arrangement. The sax sounds like Coltrane's and when the flute starts it's pure magic.
Yes indeed!!!!!!
Absolutely breathtaking!!!!!!!
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.

Behold the power of music. One of the elemental gifts of life that binds us all together.

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?

@@hassaanawan367 ye that's what i thought
But divisions aside, Baqir Abbas is an absolute monster on that bansuri
And the circular breathing by the tenor player was mind blowning.
That Indian flute is the most expressive instrument of all that are on stage and the flutist solo is top-notch
This flute is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard
This is awesome. This is a perfect example of how music unites people from all over the world.
This is the kind of musical experience I didn’t know I needed until watching this video... incredible!
the young pianist is killing it!!!!
This is a prime example that music is an international language. Very Very cool
Music is universal.
Beautiful mashup of two worlds playing as one!! BRILLIANT musicianship!!
I love this !!!!! Can't stop replaying this beautiful masterpiece !!!!! Pure genius at its highest!!!!!!!

schade dass es Coltrane nicht hören kann!!!!!!!!!
Yes he can hear it.Brother, you oughta know that he's listening in spirit.
I love this so much I would have never thought to do this whoever’s behind this East meets west sound is a real genius

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.

WHAT - WAS - THAT!? O-M-G!! Such an exquisite interpretation. Thanks for bring Indian music into this amazing mix. Kudos!
Sax & Flute were absolutely amazing! wow
The saxophonist has a tone very close to John Coltrane's.
Charles Barry agree. I was wondering if he was wanting to copy that sound because of this being a Coltrane Arrangement.
Yes but Coltrane payed/recorded this piece with the Soprano Sax while in this performance is a Tenor Sax.
Charles Barry Also the piano sounds very ‘vintage‘, like McCoy Tyner’s in the early 60s.
