they re on the short list, ill say Miles Davis 2nd quintet due to the rhythm section. HERBIE HANCOCK, RON CARTER, and the greatest drummer ever TONY WILLIAMS. Also throw in the playing and compositions of Wayne Shorter and Miles still in his blowing prime!!!!!
2:52-3:00 Over fourth harmonies, Tyner's RH ascends minor pentatonic, then descends whole tone. And finishes with a Vince Guaraldi lick! JFK had been assassinated 2 weeks earlier. It was the start of a long, uncertain time.

William, I like the way you bring context to this track because I’ve always known It was a 1963 recording but always wondered was it pre or post assassination. You’ve clear that up for me. Have a blessed day what ever your doing.👍🏾
By the 1950s, Afro-Cuban music powered many jazz hits. "Afro Blue," composed by Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaría, became the first true jazz standard built on a 3:2 clave pattern. The music became increasingly mainstream, and eventually non-Cuban musicians ran with the form.
You people gathered here know what we have to say but it is not we who need it to be said to. These humble geniuses played their hearts out for all the world who never would get it anyway.
CLASSIC! Back in the late '80s, I had a VHS tape called The Coltrane Legacy that this performance is on. I haven't been able to find it on DVD. Thanks for sharing.
The story is apparently that he was fresh out the pen after the great Roy Haynes stood in for him through most of 64, (to hear that unit check out ' Coltrane live at Newport 64'. Anyway he came straight from jail to the bandstand here and didn't have time to pick up a suit.
4:30 that return to the head by Trane and then the camera pans over and you can make out Ralph hunched over the piano almost laughing to himself through his pipe in awe-struck GLEA(son) at the passion and intensity of that groove. Absolutely COOKIN’!!!! 🔥
Great shows like this used to be on network TV. Now we have 100+ channels of drivel. How far the culture has descended in the last 50 years. But on the bright side, I saw a live band play this tune last night.
gosh i’m glad they put this stuff on tv. as soon as the band breaks down and the camera start to pan towards tyner…i brace myself….the piano is mixed nice and loud on this one. i could use a little more jones and garrison but i’ll take it. really….such a joy to watch this band
It is true. Robbie Krieger, guitarist of The Doors, did incorporate parts of Afro Blue into his solo during the tune Universal Mind at the Bakersfield concert, August 21, 1970. Quite a tribute to John Coltrane, and the music flowed wonderfully into The Doors' jazzy version of Universal Mind.
@@jeremiahsheehan8257 Perhaps I should have said Krieger added further elements to Afro Blue during his solo at the Bakersfield August 21, 1970 performance of Universal Mind.
My Chicago friend Theophilus Reed and his live band turned this song into another masterpiece at The Quarry on Friday, April 14th! You should check out the top notch performance schedule if you live in the city or just visiting! You'll be happy you did!💯
Luis, ¡muchas gracías! I've heard the Derek Trucks Band version of this, a few versions, actually, and now that flutist Kofi Burbridge of the DTB has passed, I wanted to hear where the inspiration came from. Now I know. And if any of you haven't heard the "Guitars" album that McCoy did, check it out. Trucks, Bela Fleck, Marc Ribot, John Scofield and Bill Frisell each playing a few songs w/ McCoy, Ron Carter & Jack DeJohnette.
Dude I don't even think he reads or thinks with anything but polyrhythmic grace. I don't understand how to train my mind like his was and actually I just wish I could ask him what he listened to and played to growing up. It's beyond me how he creates these kinds of rhythmic landscapes so naturally
I wrote that comment after practicing along to this song for a couple hours. The nuance is hard to even hear it blends so well. I wish the recording quality had been better
Francis Hatilip lol, can’t help it man, forgive me. But we all seek for more , like ascending....a sweet thing and you know it and I know it and they know it. Since the day I first heard them.
Born in Cuba, Mongo Santamaria is an Afro-Cuban percussionist who became an influential musician in the United States in the 1950s. His given name is Ramón Santamaría Rodríguez. Nicknamed Mongo by his father, Santamaria believes his nickname comes from the Mali people in West Africa. Mongo means the chief of the tribe. 3:36 [BlackPast]
La natura quasi "tribale" di questo pezzo è incredibile. Inoltre il timbro del sassofono somiglia a quello di una cornamusa ed' è appoggiato dalla costante presenza degli accordi del pianoforte e dall' incessante piatto della batteria che batte in tre. Il tutto conferisce al pezzo un qualcosa che dai più lontani dal genere del pezzo verrebbe definito caos, ma che io percepisco come soave sottofondo.
You know what is so lengendary about this paint , nobody knows when Coltrane is gonna stop the sound coming from his trumpet, yet everyone stops at the same time, Coltrane keeps teasing res of the band members pianist looking at trane bassist is clueless, yet they stop at the same time.

Some of the most amazing music ever played.
The greatest band in the history of music - across time and genre

Second that motion.
McCoy Tyner absolutely kills it on piano
McCoy was the last survivor, and now he's gone too.
@@philmann3476 RIP
Genius
Yep. He's holding it down the entire time.
Rest in peace Mccoy. They all are together again somewhere else, forever

William Hively absolutely
EXACTLY!
Kind of like now 🤪
My favourite Coltrane tune
Just Beautiful! I heard this for the first time in my 12th. Grade jazz band class. I’m still awe inspired almost 30 years later. I’m so grateful.
My god , i never heard something so mystic and powerful
Best jazz combo ever.
Goddamn! This is perfection...
Exactly - The first time I saw this >>> I thought My God - What did I just see

We need TV shows like this NOW!!!!
What a band. That is the real Mccoy
" Africa is where man began " ( Charles Darwin.)...... and music (me)

McCoy leaves earth on his solo. Jesus.....
When I die I want this played at my funeral.
I just love looking at this video. People just grooving to a Super Tune from Mongo Santamaria played by Trane & his band.
This music can take you to a place far, far away.
Two for the price of one: Tyner and Coltrane ... sublime
We thank The Creator for the gift that was McCoy Tyner. R.I.P.
3 people have no clue why they are even giving this a thumbs down
Now 35! What's their problem?!?!
Its probably accidental
Q1@@mr.shepherdspie7958
Musical poetry indeed!
4:26 absolutely mental man!!!
Rest in peace Trane😢🎷😢
Rip all of them
It’s all great … but 4.36 is the magnificent moment … IMHO 😂
Gleason's reaction at 4:37... Priceless
hits me right in the heart ♥️
John Coltrane quintet featuring Ralph Gleason on pipe.
he playing the hell out of that pipe!
😂
Lol!!!!
Ralph Gleason, luckiest man on Earth to listen to these gods, with his pipe too!
CLASSIC! Back in the late '80s, I had a VHS tape called The Coltrane Legacy that this performance is on. I haven't been able to find it on DVD. Thanks for sharing.
My introduction to Coltrane. Wow
what a pleasure, thanks for the post--this IS jazz!!!
Nothing but love for this.
That coat Elvin Jones is wearing is so fucking sweet
+zypherax damn right

The sound of heaven.
recientemente he estado escuchando l jazz... y creo q va a agradarle a mis oidos y mi ser
Absolute Magic!
These four Gentlemen are the only reason our entire species wasn’t a mistake.
Yes...one of my teachers
I remember seeing this originally on Television and that is when I fell in love with it. I had to be 10 or 11 years old!
richard hill So you have been on the road for a long while now. Good for you man. Peace.
whtich is the program called? or where could I see completed?
I love this so much......
Rare excellence, much gratitude.
gosh i’m glad they put this stuff on tv. as soon as the band breaks down and the camera start to pan towards tyner…i brace myself….the piano is mixed nice and loud on this one. i could use a little more jones and garrison but i’ll take it. really….such a joy to watch this band
Everyone’s in suits and Elvin Jones is wearing a flannel. Doesn’t get any better than that.
His style doesnt allow him to be in a suit
The great ones on tv 📺😎🔥
Que maestro! siempre lo escucho cuando realizo mis tareas, inspirador.
coltrane is the voice of god
Love Elvin.
Legend...

John Vinga now that you mention it. the version in 'absolutely live', right?
It would be the version found on The Doors, Bakersfield--8/27/1970. I believe it is also available under the name "Jimbo's Blues" as well.
Sorry, it was 8/21/1970. My memory is not what it used to be.
@@johnvinga5446 How is that possible when 'Absolutely Live' was released in July of '70?

The automatic subtitles for this are actually very accurate.
yeah

So high...
So spiritual...

goosebumps when the song starts

He was fresh out the pen and didn’t get a chance to get one! 😝
Bravo!!!

John Supreme Coltrane !
GENIOS!
The real thing!
Pure jazz!!! Enjoy
Unreal.🤷♂️
Great use of an early foot-operated pitch bender by McCoy Tyner here.
son mis ídolos
That piano solo, though!
The doors universal mind borrows the opening theme...
Fabulous.
magic
Minute 6:30-6:36 is an elegant answer.
Is Elvin Jones even real
Every day I grapple with this
i wonder too
Dude I don't even think he reads or thinks with anything but polyrhythmic grace. I don't understand how to train my mind like his was and actually I just wish I could ask him what he listened to and played to growing up. It's beyond me how he creates these kinds of rhythmic landscapes so naturally

his very real genetic material contributed to one of the realest, loveliest people I know, so yes, he's real.
Yessssssss.
Heavenly
Dedicated to my sister who really cared, Soul Love .
RIP McCoy Tyner

Sitting in jazz class and it gets stuck in my head and….
Wow!
And the sax!
Seria massa ouvir alguém tocando assim pelos bares por ai
Coltrane, e o mago do sax..,
Rest peacefully brother mccoy Tyner.
As soon as I saw Elvin's shirt I knew this was the one.
deep!!!!!
Elvin Jones RULES
Rodrigo Monteiro Fraga GOD.
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i played this song on saxophone and had a solo on it
it was very saxy ;)
McCoy Tyner perfect!!

Elvin Jones the man! Check out the album he made with Richard Davis.

If that is not Black Magic I don't know what is.
Elvin Jones was a monster behind that kit
