I’m surprised almost nobody here is mentioning Sanders. The man was on fire, the way he went all out right before the end was absolutely insane. He made his instrument cry in desperation. Amazing. John Coltrane was amazing as well
You're right brother. I was talking yesterday with a friend about Sanders's mastery in this period. I think some of his most incredible playing is in the first take of Ascension and in Ogunde from the Olatunji concert. That record is one of my favourite records of all time, I don't know if the damaged audio lessen the power of the statement or add to it.
I was lucky to see Sanders live twice and he definetely had that energy and aura that Coltrane had about him in his playing. He did some of his famous squeals in the playing and it is absolutely mind blowing when you hear it live and he could blend it into music without appearing to be making any effort. I wish Dolphy could have joined them live and it would have been even further out there but often wonder if people are taken from us in life early like this due to what they know and see at the higher levels?
Beautiful n fiery at once like the creation of the cosmos, this IS something n means something this is the opposite of random conjecture, random conjecture is what they say [:-0
He's a man possessed at this point! UNREAL the material from this period of his life is still defiant and chaotic compared to the most gnarly metal or electronica out there these days.
Not Schoenberg, not Stravinsky, no one in the avant garde music of the past and of the present has made me feel as much as Coltrane in his late period did. No one comes even close to him, no one.
You can see Roscoe Mitchell trying to reach this intensity. Even though his music is interesting and fascinating now Coltrane and Sanders were light years ahead. Although I am not religious makes you wonder why such people as Coltrane were taken at an early age. This music is absolutely on another level and dimension
Funny you should say that. I have friends who are into death metal and they heard the freer Coltrane and they absolutely loved the energy from it. I have heard death metal which i used to think was very extreme and the energy and meaning from it is completely flat i think compared to this. It is a totally different level
Definetely was. But what the sound and intensity does is make you realise much deeper meaning to life. I still think his free phase in terms of energy and message is still unmatched to this day.
This film was taken by Nakadaira Hozumi. He is Japanese Jazz bar owner named Dug in Shinjuku Tokyo and photographer. This film was originally with no sound.
I'm afraid ... Seriously speaking, what we see in this video is the culmination of Coltrane, it is incredible how it has evolved over the years, improving its technique and its musical richness. Many will be scared of this video, but if we look closely it is not far from a crazy improvisation (and surely with some extra drugs) style Hendrix, Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Etc. Only if we listen to an improvisation or just crazy in the guitar to the human ear sounds more digestible to us than listening to an improvisation of this type on the saxophone, the wind instruments are not as digestible and familiar to the human being as the string instruments are. But still I personally notice something different, it is like a presence in his music beyond human comprehension that we can have, I humbly believe that Coltrane was a great ahead of his time, and his spirit has an incredible trajectory in the universe. For something he plays like this, for something he left us this incredible legacy, He was ahead of his time, but he also had that mystisism that we will never know, in his music there is something else, but I still cannot understand.
Then this isn't Jazz anymore. Listen to Coltrane'ss final recorded performance in Japan. That shits scary, but I'm not sure is Jazz anymore, it's something else, beyond our reach
Yeah n I listened 2 vanguard again! the other day, really got it, Coltrane was able 2 play his soprano more like he could play tenor n Pharoah what can u say? It was like going 2 heaven n being there would’ve been unforgettable but people fall off here n writers say he lost his mind or was even some kind of unproven early acid addict, just where is respect? Don’t they get that it was the same brilliant man still searching and discovering, this Newport stuff is exciting, these same people say u can’t do anything anymore with a quintet or whatever anymore, just hear it, Ali’s multi-directional rhythms n Alices gospel influenced spiritual bedrock piano, interstellar space n Coltrane n Ali meshing drums n saxophone seamlessly, the possibilities where excitedly opening up but some boring people want 2 play it safe n shut it down, can’t take it, u take a fact out of equation n it’s boring meaninglessness, not the music itself which is anything but stale or boring [:-0 ffs am not take it
Coltrane alway represented the repressed torment in the soul of black folk… Jazz really started out as a feel good movement that showed black and white folks could maybe get along and collaborate it was a powerful combination of ragtime and blues mixed in with influences of Latin, Caribbean, Irish, Cajun, into a musical and social gumbo stew that was only possible in a city like New Orleans. It traveled up the Mississippi and spread and became a world wide phenomena. But didn’t take long for blacks to feel they contributed far more than their fair share as segregation prevented them from collecting their do. It was a ridiculous era where the popular movie “jazz singer” starred a white actor in blackface! Coltrane was part of a generation of jazzmen moving the music so far away from white players that white audiences would dare tread. In many ways it killed jazz as Wayne shorter, john’s heir apparent, was the last of the great saxophone players. Most black folks had long left jazz and pursued RB, soul, funk and gospel making stops in rock n roll. John really transcended all that came before him and all those that would come afte. his music represents both hope but utter despair. He played at this same concert the song “Alabama” as tribute to those at Selma. He is one of greatest music minds America ever produced.
I was born the day before on July 1 1966,I wondered what it would have been like to be there (not as a newborn duh!) and experience this art and maybe even talk to the man after shake his hand,he looked like he was he was having an ecstatic joy musical high that I would love to dig,I love this album,right from the beginning of My Favorite Things and theres a groove and this BOOM! outer space! Everyone but Alice looks like they might be tripping (or just having a great time) what a magical snapshot in eternity #LoveSupreme forever
Please give us the whole thing. It's almost a mockery presenting chopped up bits of pieces with totally unsynced images, but it looks like such good footage!
It's a mockery of the technological revolution that a person would watch high quality film from more than 40 years ago, filmed independently by one guy and preserved as a single copy for decades, after the development of the internet shared online for anyone on the planet to see at any time and _whine_ about it, having zero understanding of the technology that allowed it to be preserved in the first place.
Coltrane. santo dios. es el verdadero espíritu del jazz. sus sonidos permiten llorar, reir y alcanzar toda la gama de sensaciones experimentadas y por experimentar; incluso cualquier músico que logre asomarse a su sabiduría sentirá ese poder de sensaciones al improvisar. adoro a coltrane. en paz descanses maestro y genio.
I was thinking the same. Pharoah sounds fine.. I liked both. Both work very well with one another, and I personally couldn’t tell the tonal difference until it was mentioned. So what, if Pharoah was doing his own thing and Coltrane was with his? This is still a dope recording
@@milest3560 I'm sorry Desmond, but am a little skeptical about this: I've never heard about Trane and acid before... my I ask you for some source? His "experimental" turn was a logical musical step, not something related to drugs (even if he got involved with LSD). edit: I've found something online... I remain skeptical because the sources are anonimous, I think this could be just typical jazz legends or rumors it appear to be more consistent the possibility that Om was recorded on acid. That's fine, one never ends to learn something new.
@@emilianoturazzi he was using acid during this time,even elvin jones did it when he was in the band in 1965,if you have tripped on acid before and play improvised music you will understand why his sound did a drastic shift in just months,also he was a big fan of Albert Ayler which was doing this type of free jazz since 1964
@@angelgarcie dear friend: I'm stubborn and continue to be skeptical about him useing acids... at the same time I assume that my knowledge of his biography could easily be outdated since it's a long time I don't read anything about "jazz" masters' biographies and my last readings date back to early 90s (an Eric Dolphy's biography and an Ornette's one), moreover my interest on musicians' biographies decreases with age :) I don't know almost anything about Monteverdi's, Bach's, Beethoven's biographies. So I could be wrong on the point. Nevertheless I think that Trane's free shift has nothing to do with tripping: it's a musical change, it was easy to forseen (he went close to free with Dolphy, Played with Cecil Taylor, had friendship with Ornette even trying to have him in his group in 1965), "Free jazz" and "Cell Walk for Celeste" are from 1960, Giuffrè's Free Fall is from 1963, Ayler's Spiritual Unity is from 1964 (as well as Dolphy's masterpiece "Out to lunch" not exactly a free form album, of course). So somehow Trane arrived even late even according to his tastes... And he turned out in a linear way: from "a love supreme" to "ascension" there isn't any true discontinuity (you just have to listen to album such as "transition"...), there is a logical musical development. About Elvin... he was a well known heroin addicted (there are some Trane's recordings with Roy Haynes because Elvin had troubles associted with heroin...) if all the thing about these recordings was about having trips I think wouldn't have left the group beause he didn't share the new direction... Maybe they had trips, but this wasn't the reason why they used to play in this way. ps I never had any trip, I'm no longer interested, when I could be in my country it was impossible to find LSD, I even never assumed any alchool or thc before playing evene when I was a young "hipster" :) nevertheless I play improvised music (but have to admit that I'm more a composer than an improviser...) Enjoy music and life having good time according to your feelings and desires
@@milest3560 Hey man I completely understand what you're saying, but hear me out! spent his entire life practicing at the 12 to 14 hours a day. Does anybody nowadays sacrifice their entire life to their music? Nope. No one since then has come even close. If you listen to him chronologically, you will notice that at the later part of his career, Trane's sense of musicality and direction became so abstract to a point that he began trying to use extended techniques on the saxophone (ie. screaming, extreme altissimo, false fingerings, etc.) in order to create his own unique voice and emulate a certain emotions, energies and a level of spirituality; something far beyond just playing changes of a progression (which he did already), etc. There comes a point where you simply cannot analyze what Trane did because he was so advanced. Music in its purest form has no boundaries and does not have to be restricted by a harmonic progression, and Trane was one of the first to realize that.
@@sumabatman "spent his entire life practicing at the 12 to 14 hours a day. Does anybody nowadays sacrifice their entire life to their music? Nope." basically all musicians at an high level (except maybe very old aged or peculiar guys like Lee Konitz ) do you really think that to play like, see, Steve Coleman or (to name a completely different musician that obviously isn't as much important as Coltrane) Michael Breker is easier and/or less demanding in practice and control? by the way this music is anything but shit :) quite the opposite and we agree on this point....
@@sumabatman A lot of musicians practice hours a day and devote their entire life to music.John Coltrane wasn't the only one.I respect Coltrane's devotion to his music,and all the effort that he put into it,but it gets a little ridiculous when people "worship"Coltrane,or any other musician.
What happened to Trane? To me, he looks & sounds completely INSANE. My wife thinks he finally succumbed to brain damage from using drugs. How sad & disappointing, IMO. I really loved early Trane & wanted to play sax like him. Oh well....
He knew exactly what he was doing. He quit in the late 50s/ early 60s, before many of his “normal” works. My favorite things, giant steps, a love supreme etc. he was an artist who was exploring the depths of music itself, and was certainly 100% aware of what he was doing.
I think if you understood what it was like to be a black man in America during Coltrane’s era, especially during the 60s you would realise that he was not “insane” at all, but merely expressing the struggles he was going through, together with his quest for Spiritual expression.
I’m surprised almost nobody here is mentioning Sanders. The man was on fire, the way he went all out right before the end was absolutely insane. He made his instrument cry in desperation. Amazing. John Coltrane was amazing as well

Late Coltrane is still unlike anything else out in terms of intensity, originality and vision. Wish the whole show will be posted!
Check out Tisziji Muñoz man. He is right up there with Trane…. Pharoah picked him up and played with him for 50+ years for a reason!
What a beautiful sound of Coltrane.
Beautiful n fiery at once like the creation of the cosmos, this IS something n means something this is the opposite of random conjecture, random conjecture is what they say [:-0
Yes 😂
He's a man possessed at this point! UNREAL the material from this period of his life is still defiant and chaotic compared to the most gnarly metal or electronica out there these days.
Loren Darcy Music with human soul.
What Doth Life!? I wouldn't say it's possessed, it's very human, it's real.

I very much dig Jimmy's madras shorts.
Yeah.let's go to the beach.
i was there ! and if i remember correctly, also at the festival were archie shepp and charles lloyd among many others !
At this point John Coltrane was beyond the instrument itself. Absolutely profound.

Yeah buddy [:-(
Love 💝 John Coltrane
My ❤ supreme!
hasta donde podría haber llegado en 5...10 años más... rompió todas las normas
At this time John Coltrane had begun to embrace free jazz
1.20 priceless :) so great
I love jazz but this shit is scary as hell. I literally couldn’t rap my head around this. This is were John became an alien
no one can literally haha ;)
That's very funny.
Became an alien or just too real for you? Go talk about your fantasy conjecture u Martian [:-0
I like the music of John Coltrane
so glad there is some footage of this
Why do we hear Pharoah Sanders in the bavkground
Most people didn't get it. They wanted to keep hearing the same bebop shit over and over

damn this wild
Saint John
Blows my mind that there is not more video footage of this band from that period, where is it!?
Coltrane ta além da propria música
Coltrane rules

wow
omg
intensely psychedelic music!
John Coltrane plays Tenor saxophone. I THINK I play tenor.
You play tenor.
Is there somewhere where the audio for this fits the video?
Still have never ever seen any tenor player get close
John Coltrane❤ 😇😇😇
I'm too
🥰
this is so strange what we are seeing does not natch what we are hearing !
Músicos poseídos, endemoniados
Il tenor saxophone è Joh Coltrane, come l'alto saxophone è Charlie Parker
Where's the rest ?
Not Suit Coltrane :)

the complete concert in video? when?
