Dear Castillo, There are lots of jazz devotees in India. Due to the current onslaught of Hip-hop and pseudo-rock in India, Jazz is a dying breed. But the immortals will never perish. Please pass it on to as many of you can, the World will be a better place that way.
@@TheSayanto Exactly mate... The number Jazz devotees is far far less than the fans of hip hop and pseudo-rock...there used to be a time when jazz bars existed in india...until government of India closed them, god knows why. From then, Jazz started dying in India...famous jazz musicians couldn't find audience anymore...If that didn't happen then..

Back in '70 when I ws in college I would set my turntable to "replay" and listen to this (and the A side "impressions") all night while I was sleeping. Every note ingrained in me. Has been a lifelong inspiration (I am 70 now). PS: Also did this with "A Love Supreme"
If you really never get tired of this composition, not song than thank, not shout out, Eric Dolphy, not E.D. ...that would be the emergency department.
When you hear jazz that has been emancipated from the fast chord changes of the bebop era and artists thought beyond that paradigm and outside the rules you get such creative and beautiful pieces of art. To me bebop became more of a test of a players chops that it started to feel more like a sporting event than music. That's what I love about kind of blue is that so what is one chord the whole song basically, or I think it has one subtle change. And you hear what these guys do with the same seven notes when they dont have to worry about or think ahead of changes and they can comfortable in that space and take their time and take us the listeners on a leisurely journey. They can focus on the moment because the moment stretches on for infinity.
After a while someone noticed each chord could be approached as a "unified tonal gravity field." With nowhere to go and nothing to do, they are free to express themselves fully
Coltrane's music is an expression of a certain level of higher consciousness that comprehended the abstract lines of connections that exist between certain Indian musical perspectives/musical dimensions and assorted vibratory modes that correspond to African musical stylistic approaches and representations of evolving creative freedom. Many listeners obviously understand that while others are apparently looking for lower frequency evidence to fuel an argument about Coltrane's music "having nothing to do with India." We absorb and resonate actuality in fashions that correspond to our individual understanding and all music has an array of degrees of resonance and interconnectivity.
Eight Miles High actually came about as a tribute to John Coltrane. It was our attempt to play jazz. We were on a tour of America, and someone played us the Coltrane albums Africa/Brass and Impressions. 3:03 [The Guardian]
alors ça!! c'est phénoménale!! je m'en souviens quand je faisais des voyages en voiture nuit et jour, avec un bon ami de l'école de photographie dans laquelle j'étais inscrit! (Jo Aitnanu, poète et philosophe et dessinateur d'art brut!)

This composition is another answer to the question by the legendary Jazz Griot John Coltrane with Eric Dolphy and accompanying artists, "What Does Jazz Look Like"?
That eruptive way of playing jazz made me perceive Coltrane and his fellows like the most emotional jazz players... Digging strange tones for this era, modern perception and awesome restitution! This track is my fav of all his works.
The spirituality that is portrait by Coltrane and Dolphy is beyond imagination. This is an abstract relation that can only be defined by musical notes and nothing else. Once the notes are played and the song ends, the spirituality disappears and only the memory lingers behind.
This song inspired Roger McGuinn on "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds. He used that lick that's repeated throughout this song and played it on the 12 string.
@@timcardona9962 , Think we'll have to compromise here. India was indeed influential but I still think the overall feel and structure of Africa is what I now hear in Eight Miles High including the McGuinn solo. I know McGuinn himself has cited India : the famous anecdote about the tape they listened to of Coltrane/Shankar while on tour springs to mind. But I'm pretty sure Crosby, who provided the tape, has said it was Africa. Whatever the case, I honestly don't hear a direct borrow from India, but I do from Africa.
When I was 19 years old in 1967, I was listening to this album and reading Goebbels' Diaries at the same time. Two older guys had turned me on to politics and jazz. Those lessons have never left me.
Coltrane influenced such rock mavericks as Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix. Miles Davis said having him in his band was like hiring three saxophone players in one. Dec 19, 2001 Source: The Guardian

In case you don't have the complete Village Vanguard sessions, there's another version of _India_ that is perhaps even more stunning than this. Rather than entering with his solo at about a minute in with that single sustained note of great release, Coltrane comes in immediately and builds anticipation of the main theme with a bit less energy but in a more measured fashion, with more finesse. He seems to have been experimenting with different ways of setting up that extraordinarily convincing and authentic sense of great triumph at the end of a long struggle that this piece seems to convey. (Oddly enough it reminds me of the final movement of Beethoven's fifth symphony in that sense.)
Cuanto aborda, John Coltrane lo depura hasta sublimarlo. No cae en banalidades ni se abandona al tumulto. Destello y exhalación se aúnan en su música hacia el fulgor. Por un instante, arcoíris, reflejo astral, luz purísima.

+Daniel Rojas Daniel Es difícil recomendar a ciegas pues no sé lo que sabes o lo que ignoras, sin contar que el camino lo debes hacer poco a poco abriéndote a músicos y a músicas.Según los diversos periodos de mi vida he ido encontrado solaz y verdad en tantos y tantos músicos como astros logro divisar en el cielo. El primer disco de jazz que oí en mi vida fue “Ballads and Blues” de Miles Davis que me subyugó. Pero fue Sun Ra quien me reveló el poder volcánico de esta música. El jazz, que ha dado al mundo un soplo musical incomparable. En la historia de la música no conozco pareja irrupción. Al modo del géiser que con sus aguas calientes rompe el hielo y caldea poblaciones, este caudal surgido de las raíces de la humanidad ha devuelto al mundo su sentido de origen, cuna africana de la que todos provenimos. Puede que esto haya sido una de las razones de su reconocimiento como música universal. En todo caso, Sun Ra me lo hizo estimar desde el primer día que escuché “Jazz in Silhouette”, aquel lejano otoño de los primeros sesenta. No puedo decirte quiénes son mejores pero sí sé aquellos que dejaron rastro. Sin lugar a dudas el gran Mingus, contrabajista y compositor de una talla excepcional. Pero el pianista que me haría viajar siguiendo su rastro durante años fue Cecil Taylor, con él logré ahondar las entrañas mismas del teclado, sin por ello renegar de otros pianistas cuya música me habían permitido llegar hasta él. Lennie Tristano, Dave Brubeck, Thelonius Monk, McCoy Tyner, Sun Ra…Los saxofonistas John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Eric Dolphy o el minimalista Steve Lacy fueron en mi juventud una constelación como las que en el cielo ayudan a navegar al marino. No obstante, el jazz es mucho más que una sarta de nombres, muchos de ellos llegaron en el momento preciso como compañeros inestimables. Cuántas veces en las largas noches pasadas en una pequeña isla de Galápagos el contrabajo de Charlie Haden o las trompetas de Don Cherry o Chet Baker nos hicieron más llevadero el trabajo y la soledad.Pero no escucho solo jazz, las cuerdas de Bach o Beethoven, el piano de Mompou, la persecución de lo absoluto de Scelsi, la incansable búsqueda de Schöemberg o la salvajía de Tom Waits me han ayudado a superar momentos de tensa creatividad o de tedio…Como verás Daniel, de poco te servirá mi respuesta, pero no ceses de escuchar, de ilusionarte, de aborrecer mas nunca de abandonar la senda, pues en ella hallarás horizontes sin fin
Mi querido amigo Pedro (espero no le moleste que me dirija a usted de esa forma), siempre es grato toparse con sus comentarios en RUclips. Que la magia de la música lo acompañe.
Sheets of sound was a term coined in 1958 by Down Beat magazine jazz critic Ira Gitler to describe the new, unique improvisational style of John Coltrane. English Wikipedia
gracias VJ YEBO buena colección de fotos y perfecta sincronización con la música. Màgica y espiritual fusión entre ambos músicos legendarios y eternos.
@@arghachatSomewhat of a sticking to one scale/mode to set the tone for the whole song (mixolydian, not sure what the Indian Classical equivalent is), though while in Indian classical music musicians use various bending techniques extract much more expression, modal jazz often uses fast shapes which act almost as if they are diverging from the scale moving through different tonal centers, before coming back to the main scale/mode, almost serving a similar artistic purpose to bending a note. Also, the drone on one root note throughout the song, which in the culture of western music is actually pretty uncommon.
Indian drone don’t stick to one note. At least two note (first and fifth) and some use more. Using one scale/tonal center is a basis of a lot of music. Indian ragas are very different from modes or scales. Ragas have a clear (and strict) melody structures that is maintained throughout the recital which not done here. Not just a scale. The treatment of notes ("swaras") and juxtaposition of notes, the ascent and descent, are all written down. The "bending" you referred are, most times, rules you follow not just improvistions you do. What Coltrane saw in Indian music maybe very different from our interpretation. Also chromatic notes are barred from Indian classical. Anytime I here chromatics, I know this is not Indian classical. Modern Indian music is very different and significantly mixed with Western, but that's a different story.
@@arghachat I am aware Indian classical uses at least (what we in the west call) the 1 and 5, and sometimes more notes, in their drones, actually the bass player, the musician providing the drone in this performance, is playing the 1 and 5 himself. I was more trying to comment on the fact their is no "root movement" as per the west, as in the harmony/root note does not change throughout the song, which is undeniably rare in most forms of western music. I also do not contest this and Indian classical are very different forms of music, and I am aware ragas are much more than just a scale and some bends, I just believe the statement that this and Indian Classical are not remotely similar is somewhat of an exaggeration, especially in comparing most western music forms to Indian classical. Though I will add that on a second reading of your original comment this is probably not exactly what you meant (you said 'not remotely related', which is different from 'not remotely similar') but I nonetheless believe they are more "similar", relatively speaking, than you claim, though that speaks more to the vast differences between Western music and Indian Classical than the similarities of this and Indian Classical. In short, the idea of both staying on one root note and playing primarily to one scale through a song was and is a bold statement in Western music, which generally relies on the constant movement of harmony and oftentimes the frequent changing of scale. Thus, being that Western music is usually hugely and utterly unlike Indian Classical, a performance which uses one root note and primarily one scale, with methods of deviation from that scale, throughout a song, appears very "Indian Classical esque" in comparison, though they are patently very different. Obviously the musicians here come from a tradition (Jazz) which born of two older musical traditions (those of Europe and Africa) which is all a world away from Indian Classical, which is part of why they are usually even more different than this from Indian Classical. It is likely Coltrane may have been partially inspired by some Indian Classical performances he heard and took away from his listening some basic elements in crafing this song. It is interesting, though, how some figures like John Coltrane, who is regarded by many as among the must profound musicians in the Jazz tradition, ended up gravitating towards some of the rudimentary ideas on which Indian Classical is based in some of his music, as simple as they may be. Though I my be biased to noticing times they do the same thing.
Je ne sais plus vraiment, je perds la tête depuis quelque temps ! En tout cas, cette musique est merveilleuse, elle m'aide à m'endormir paisiblement. Et c'est heureux parce que mes névroses envahissantes, grignotent ma raison
Seriously what the fuck. What's this signature. I didn't know this guy Coltrane, but Impulse has the best jazz... Just kidding, this is amazing. Coltrane makes me so happy it's unbelievable. Have a good day y'all.
Wow, to hell with taking the bullet out of Aaron Burr's gun. If I ever get my hands on a time machine, I'm going back to the Vanguard the night this was recorded.
Thanks so much, its nice when listeners appreciate the time effort I put into these videos. Check out my NEW alternate take version of "India" (B). Peace, Yebo
This is a truly beautiful piece of music that still resonates regardless of the fact that the musicians are long dead ..... it reminds me why I love music and those who make great music ..... thanks for the post DJ Zeflo - nice video
Is this in a mixolydian? After kind of blue when the idea of exploring using the modes came into prevalence it really took jazz to a whole new dimension. The modes each convey such subtle and at times conflicted inherent emotion the music now became vehicles for deep introspection and meditation. It was a natural medium for Coltraine to create these spiritual songs. The human experience is an emotionally complex journey and the forced happiness of major diatonic or pentatonic based melody doesnt do justice to the reality of life. 'So What' on the other hand, which I know is dorian and I believe its d Dorian if I can remember right, that songs makes me feel some really deep and nuanced feelings of melancholy and nostalgia but at the same time it's also beautiful and hopeful, if unresolved. Mixolydian feels happy but with something unseen and dark lurking in the shadows. Moving the focus away from chord based songs to songs with stronger rhythmic dynamics and drones all within one chord and using that as a springboard for some casually paced explorations within a specific mode is just beautiful, and lends itself to music that is mean to be a work of worship and praise to ones creator.
Zedwoman, Although the Byrds would have listened to Coltrane and Ravi Shankar in late 1965, and in spite of India being cited, I'm convinced that Africa/Brass was a more obvious influence on Eight Miles High.
MAJOR Props to VJ YEBO for the impressive collage. It is quite apparent that you share that special love & appreciation for both John & Eric. Amazing things happened musically & spiritually when these two enlightened souls collaborated. I wasn’t aware of the statue of ‘Trane in his hometown, High Point, NC by a sculptor who was previously unaware of either the man or his music. Some locals think it looks more like Michael Jordan than John Coltrane!

Lennie Tristano, Dave Brubeck, Thelonius Monk, McCoy Tyner, Sun Ra…Los saxofonistas John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Eric Dolphy o el minimalista Steve Lacy fueron en mi juventud una constelación como las que en el cielo ayudan a navegar al marino. No obstante, el jazz es mucho más que una sarta de nombres, muchos de ellos llegaron en el momento preciso como compañeros inestimables. Cuántas veces en las largas noches pasadas en una pequeña isla de Galápagos el contrabajo de Charlie Haden o las trompetas de Don Cherry o Chet Baker nos hicieron más llevadero el trabajo y la soledad.Pero no escucho solo jazz, las cuerdas de Bach o Beethoven, el piano de Mompou, la persecución de lo absoluto de Scelsi, la incansable búsqueda de Schöemberg o la salvajía de Tom Waits me han ayudado a superar momentos de tensa creatividad o de tedio…Como verás Daniel, de poco te servirá mi respuesta, pero no ceses de escuchar, de ilusionarte, de aborrecer mas nunca de abandonar la senda, pues en ella hallarás horizontes sin fin

I wish this creative music with its musicians would never end. How lucky we are to have at least these beautiful recordings!!
Ikr RUclips really save my life if it wasn't for youtube I probably would listen to shitty top 40 music on the daily basis.
Well,yes....one is ..... flabbergasted!! I first heard this when I was 18. Now I'm 66.

Sheets of sound was a term coined in 1958 by Down Beat magazine jazz critic Ira Gitler to describe the new, unique improvisational style of John Coltrane.

gracias VJ YEBO buena colección de fotos y perfecta sincronización con la música.
Màgica y espiritual fusión entre ambos músicos legendarios y eternos.
Coltrane's fascination with the music of India is heard here.
Which part shows that sir? I don't find anything remotely related to any form of Indian music.
@@arghachatSomewhat of a sticking to one scale/mode to set the tone for the whole song (mixolydian, not sure what the Indian Classical equivalent is), though while in Indian classical music musicians use various bending techniques extract much more expression, modal jazz often uses fast shapes which act almost as if they are diverging from the scale moving through different tonal centers, before coming back to the main scale/mode, almost serving a similar artistic purpose to bending a note. Also, the drone on one root note throughout the song, which in the culture of western music is actually pretty uncommon.
Indian drone don’t stick to one note. At least two note (first and fifth) and some use more. Using one scale/tonal center is a basis of a lot of music. Indian ragas are very different from modes or scales. Ragas have a clear (and strict) melody structures that is maintained throughout the recital which not done here. Not just a scale. The treatment of notes ("swaras") and juxtaposition of notes, the ascent and descent, are all written down. The "bending" you referred are, most times, rules you follow not just improvistions you do. What Coltrane saw in Indian music maybe very different from our interpretation.
Also chromatic notes are barred from Indian classical. Anytime I here chromatics, I know this is not Indian classical. Modern Indian music is very different and significantly mixed with Western, but that's a different story.
@@arghachat I am aware Indian classical uses at least (what we in the west call) the 1 and 5, and sometimes more notes, in their drones, actually the bass player, the musician providing the drone in this performance, is playing the 1 and 5 himself. I was more trying to comment on the fact their is no "root movement" as per the west, as in the harmony/root note does not change throughout the song, which is undeniably rare in most forms of western music. I also do not contest this and Indian classical are very different forms of music, and I am aware ragas are much more than just a scale and some bends, I just believe the statement that this and Indian Classical are not remotely similar is somewhat of an exaggeration, especially in comparing most western music forms to Indian classical. Though I will add that on a second reading of your original comment this is probably not exactly what you meant (you said 'not remotely related', which is different from 'not remotely similar') but I nonetheless believe they are more "similar", relatively speaking, than you claim, though that speaks more to the vast differences between Western music and Indian Classical than the similarities of this and Indian Classical.
In short, the idea of both staying on one root note and playing primarily to one scale through a song was and is a bold statement in Western music, which generally relies on the constant movement of harmony and oftentimes the frequent changing of scale. Thus, being that Western music is usually hugely and utterly unlike Indian Classical, a performance which uses one root note and primarily one scale, with methods of deviation from that scale, throughout a song, appears very "Indian Classical esque" in comparison, though they are patently very different. Obviously the musicians here come from a tradition (Jazz) which born of two older musical traditions (those of Europe and Africa) which is all a world away from Indian Classical, which is part of why they are usually even more different than this from Indian Classical. It is likely Coltrane may have been partially inspired by some Indian Classical performances he heard and took away from his listening some basic elements in crafing this song. It is interesting, though, how some figures like John Coltrane, who is regarded by many as among the must profound musicians in the Jazz tradition, ended up gravitating towards some of the rudimentary ideas on which Indian Classical is based in some of his music, as simple as they may be. Though I my be biased to noticing times they do the same thing.
Flowing in the wind...!!!

Beautiful music!
Is this in a mixolydian? After kind of blue when the idea of exploring using the modes came into prevalence it really took jazz to a whole new dimension. The modes each convey such subtle and at times conflicted inherent emotion the music now became vehicles for deep introspection and meditation. It was a natural medium for Coltraine to create these spiritual songs. The human experience is an emotionally complex journey and the forced happiness of major diatonic or pentatonic based melody doesnt do justice to the reality of life. 'So What' on the other hand, which I know is dorian and I believe its d Dorian if I can remember right, that songs makes me feel some really deep and nuanced feelings of melancholy and nostalgia but at the same time it's also beautiful and hopeful, if unresolved. Mixolydian feels happy but with something unseen and dark lurking in the shadows. Moving the focus away from chord based songs to songs with stronger rhythmic dynamics and drones all within one chord and using that as a springboard for some casually paced explorations within a specific mode is just beautiful, and lends itself to music that is mean to be a work of worship and praise to ones creator.
Opening used by Roger McGuin of the Byrds on "Eight Miles High".
Zedwoman, Although the Byrds would have listened to Coltrane and Ravi Shankar in late 1965, and in spite of India being cited, I'm convinced that Africa/Brass was a more obvious influence on Eight Miles High.
great as ever

MAJOR Props to VJ YEBO for the impressive collage. It is quite apparent that you share that special love & appreciation for both John & Eric. Amazing things happened musically & spiritually when these two enlightened souls collaborated. I wasn’t aware of the statue of ‘Trane in his hometown, High Point, NC by a sculptor who was previously unaware of either the man or his music. Some locals think it looks more like Michael Jordan than John Coltrane!
