saw Trane many times live in SF at the Jazz Workshop. Intensity cannot describe this band. Life altering experiences. We were there so much he recognized us. Talked to him, got his autograph. I'm truly one of the most fortunate to have this experience.. Only one Coltrane ever to walk this earth. He is all about Love & Peace. Always enjoy & savor every note.

Every time I hear Coltrane ,I am so amazed at the many different colors that created in these pieces. There are hundreds of melodic ideas that come from the universe, into his mind and out the horn. I never heard anything like his playing. After 45 years of listening to him, I still find things that I never heard before in his playing.

only a unique genius can be not only in that zone but for that long. Every note pierced my soul with so much energy and passion. It's like being baptised with jazz.

3:43 one of the most beautiful note in the Jazz history :)

one of the greatest musicians of all times

I love that in mcCoy tyner's solo, in E minor, jimmy garrison plays G. it sounds wonderful!

I listened to this cut over and over while in Viet Nam and Thailand Det 6. Yea still around, 1st Air Commando Wing, Hurbert Field 9, FL 1963 - 1966

LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD....Was my first learning about John Coltraine, since then i have tried to blow like John....well Im still trying. My Favorite Things

i love the way he treats the melody at 4:36...DAMN!!!

Great recording of the Coltrane classic. Love the energy and lyricism of this interpretation.

I was lucky enough to see him live many times at the Blue Note in Manhattan. What a beautiful person, true genius.

I agree that these are outstanding musicians and this is probably the best jazz song of all time. This version is truly amazing!!!!

Damn, McCoy Tyner is crushing it in this!!

What can we say after that !! What a power ! What an emotion ! John, Elvin, Mac Coy and Jimmy touche the stars ! I'm speechless !

the 50s to early 70s had to be the best time to be alive for jazz fans. not only were there maybe the best musicians ever but the routinely played with one another. Not for a particular cause like artists will do today or on a collaboration. They would just show up to a club and sit in and just get it in.

Here Coltrane was simply a fountain of melody, an endless stream of tuneful possibility. The dramatic chord change that comes 16 minutes into the version on Afro Blue Impressions, and Coltrane's accompanying melodic shift, can bring me to tears if I'm in the right mood.

Wow...Being able to carry these types of gifted spirits and musical expressions with beauty throughout the entire band. Now this is a rhythm section worthy of imitation.

Quel magnifique travail d'Elvin Jones derrière .... John Coltrane est d'une grande sensibilité sur ce morceau Merci ! :)

Lately, I've bought A love supreme vinyl, original from 1965...I just want to tell how happy I am:)

Such an amazing song and an extraordinary musician😊

Thank you Pop-O! U gave me the ear to sing jazz and Dee the love to play it. Dee is awesome. I know u would have been so very proud. Dr Dee on the keyboards!!!

just bout this transcribed solo and can't wait to learn it! Love the fact that his and all music lives on forever for all to learn and enjoy! wonderful!

Mon premier de Jazz achété en 1977, j'avais 23 ans et alors je l'écoutais en boucle.

Trane sounds real happy on this version the best by far, likes he playin with the tune as kids would skip along to it. man he had a good reed,good horn, good band,and most of all the wisdom and energy to take his craft and preach peace to all the cultures of the universe Rest Trane until we meet again Peace D

Whoa...I'm feel like in they same room with him sooo live

grand improvisateur .quel intérprétation!!!!quel musicalité!!!comme c est riche.merci Walif chbeir.

The drums are incredible. The whole flow of this song is brilliant. Coltrane hitting seemingly chords on a wind instrument. You can do that on a guitar with strings but on a wind instrument it's unparalleled.

John Coltrane.....Grande entre los grandes.....!!!!

I truly envy you being able to hear his great music for the first time. Listening to Coltrane isn't always easy, but it's always rewarding.

I bought this particular version on vinyl 40 years ago today.

Simply pure genius, enough said

One of My Favorite Things !

This is now my favorite recording of this piece. Great contrast between a very "playful" sounding Coltrane and devastating, unrelenting drive from Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner (my absolute favorite pianist).

McCoy Tyner, I simply have to say I adore you, sir!

Greatest musician of all time!!

My college roommate and I listened to the album everyday for 2 years. Brings back some great memories !!!

I love it!

What is Trane telling us while we listen to his music? Can you remember the tunes of this song back to your childhood and it transforms you to a happier place - a place that you visit from time to time but can never stay? It's all about balance. We all need balance in our life - music is a healing force once it touches your soul!

There's Coltrane and this trio and then everybody else. Genius comes along rarely

god - McCoy Tyner!!!!!

自分が生まれる前のコルトレーンの演奏が聴けるなんて、素晴らしすぎます。 できれば生演奏を聴きたかったです。

My favorite performance of this tune. Trane was "on" that day.

i learned how to sing by memorizing "STARDUST" and ad libbing to songs of COLTRANE like this......... thanks for the post! FOOT FUNK

I have always ♥ John Cotrane's ♫ !

amazing how he grew and expanded the regions of the sax like no one else---albert ayler, who trane listened to was another pioneer of free playing which john took to heights into interstellar space which was his last album an im still learning and listening to all these years]]]it took me about a decade just to scratch the surface

This is class. I'm not a purist by any stretch, but I get this. I get how it's all pulled together with invisible strings. Balanced, unselfish... hats off.

Fantastically played

Coltrane is a Boss! Totally out of this world.

この曲は45年前、「こんばんは、油井正一です。」で始まる「アスペクト・イン・ジャズ」というFM番組 で初めて聴きました。スコッチカセットで録音 しました。今でも毎日モダンジャズを中心に聴いていますが、当時10代後半で多感な年頃だったせいもあるにせよ、これ程自らを鼓舞し魂が揺さぶられる演奏は、以後ありません。

Come on AfroBlueImpressions. Please repost this track. I listened to this version nearly every evening.....don't leave me hangin'😉

Thee's so much love and sweetness in his horn, but I'm trying to describe the indescribable

Excellent interpretations. Also my favourite version of 'Things...' just the right amount of 'out' playing. A really balanced album. Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting!! This version is a fantastic example of JC.

THANK YOU

Masterpiece!

Une pure merveille

This is in my top favorite classics.

I got high and finally got Jazz (and some I just learnt to appreciate more)

world heritage.

This version of the song is gorgeous, but i still miss one thing: 'Schnitzel with Noodles' :D

so beautiful

Υπέροχος όπως πάντα!!!!!!!!!ΑΓΑΠΗΜΕΝΟ!!!!!!!!!!!

amazing!!!! I'm really enjoy this music

bought it on amazon in a book of his transcribed solos

beaucoup de bonheur a écouter ce morceaux d'anthologie du jazz superbe et envoûtant

a genius

2:45- 3:04 is my favorite part! Major octave jumping!!! I have always liked Coltrane on his soprano because he's the only tenor player that I've ever heard that can get a beautiful full tone that he has. His tone is not plagued by the shrill, nasally sound that most soprano saxophones have.

Лучшее ЖИВОЕ исполнение. Это не музыка, это сама жизнь...

A GOD SEND!!!!

Sounds soooo good..

Impressionante. Músicas como essa alimentam a alma.

Evans and Tyner have different styles. Trying to compare the two is like apples to oranges. Both are very good at what they do.

A Masterpiece !!

La beauté a l’état pur

Incredible!

A wonderful variation on sound

this is gold like a tuba's inside groove

fantastique!

I encourage everyone to go watch the anime series Kids on the Slope. It has a great emphasis around jazz, a story about drama, romance, and life as a whole, for a small group who use jazz as their bond throughout time, with work from Art Blakey, John Coltrane, as well as some other jazz notables, such as Lullably of Birdland. It's a 12 episode series that can be enjoyed by even those with no knowledge or interest in jazz.

Simplesmente sensacional!

I never met 'Trane but, just knowing that he looked at the same moon at night that I looked at.. felt the same warmth from the same sun that I felt warmth from, or was somewhere playing that horn in Philly the same time I was visiting Grandma's house on 15th Sreet and, Montrose, is still close enough for me! But,most of all my Stepfather, Bobby Hayes' cousin, Bobby Timmons in the formative years was his pianist, is still more then enough for,me! wink. Boo

That little lyrical passage that Tyner plays between 8:30 to 8:40 is so delightful. I love it. Well, I love the whole performance actually 😀.

04:40 instant goosebumps , wow

my favorite version

My favorite rendition

fantastic

The core theme is by the musical theater composer Richard Rogers. Coltrane shows how much can be done with how little, in the hands of a phenomenal genius.

Made my day seeing someone else loving on this anime

I always hear this in movies and jazz stations never knew it belong to JC

Really good version (:

Thanks for this post above all is JC

thank you for this one

i love Coltrane!

Coltrane is the Master!!!!

8:13 always give me shiver, like reaching the other realm

Im likin this live version a lot more than the studio version. Sounds more expresive, pure instinct (:

Transcendant, and that word ain't enuf to describe this session!

maravilloso!!

Miles Davis once said there is not such a thing as "greatest" in no matter what kind of art. There are only the best men and women in music, for instance, and he agree he is one of them :)

Fantasticno :-)
