John Coltrane is arguably the most influential saxophonist of the modern area, even today jazz saxophonists heavily rely on his chromatic sound approach. Always imitated but never equaled...That said, most of people miss the greatness of Coltrane, who was a Spiritual Seeker and Mystic Musician before been a marvelous jazz saxophonist. Everybody talk about the Coltrane of Blue Train or Giant Steps, but few are those who really enjoy the A Love Supreme post-era, the mystical one...for those able to hear with their SOUL records such as Transition, Stellar Region or Kulu Se Mama, you know what I mean, and you know why John Coltrane is far greater than the jazz stratosphere...a true Guru of Spiritual Journey, he changes the perception of music forever.
I disagree: yes Coltrane was a great player, but not an innovator in jazz. Of this stature there are only three: Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. Miles himself said round about 1990: "Bird(= Charlie Parker) was the greatest; he was a genius".
You confuse jazz innovator and saxophonist innovator. You can argue that Coltrane is not a jazz innovator (yet he is probably the father of the "spiritual jazz" movement) but every modern tenor saxophonist player plays accordingly to Coltrane modal & chromaticism innovation, this is a fact that nobody can denies...
The New Miles Davis Quintet was recorded 16/11 1955 and Cookin'-Relaxin'-Steamin'-Workin' were recorded 11/5 & 26/10. So The New Miles Davis Quintet came first. Apart from Ah-Leu-Cha & Two Bass Hit, recorded (secretly at the time) for Columbia 26/10 1955, to be released on 'Round About Midnight. The New Miles Davis Quintet still on Prestige, was the first release by that band.
I've been binging these while in a creative rut. I thank you for creating these beautifully researched videos and i hope you get the recognition you deserve. I can tell you put your soul into creating these
..."The only other musicians with as far reaching and cultural impact on the terrain", and add Charlie Parker. A momentary lapses on your part, I"m sure.
The greatest musician of any genre. Not just a musician but a spiritual priest🙏🏾
Great stuff! Tend to forget about Coltrane's years of addiction. But without them his religious resurrection is not complete.
