That bass is soooo soothing.

@@Ematched Boi you got your headphones on backwards XD.

If my headphones are backwards, then these headphones are mislabeled.

@@urphakeandgey6308 and if my headphones are backwards, I don't want to be right.

I think that's your third ear, sister.

yup.. in the past for example, I didn't pay much attention to Mr. PC. But Trane's solo on there is actually brilliant, so original even though harmonically it's just a 12 bar blues

YESSSSSS!!!!

This might be my favorite album of all time

i listen coltrane to study with energy

I have listened to this album thousands of times; and will continue to do so as it is forever fresh)

Circles around quite nicely. Fun song to play once you get around the changes.

😂

?

Bassist: What key is the tune in? John: nodded once at him while he keeps playing

you shoul transcribe this song on 20/8 for him

I hope that he's up there with the greats having a great session.

RIP Bill

May he Rest In Peace 🙏

May his soul rest in peace!

Black label?

Kudos!

OK... And?

@@dirtway1501 It’s called making conversation. The idea is that it should lead to a question that would in turn allow people to get to know one another better-an essential but often neglected practice among social beings with the ability to speak. Why the challenging posture to the statement?

It is probably worth a bundle.

that's why i keep all my vinyl records....what a sin to remaster this masterpiece in the name of "better at any price"

@@titanhasfreedus8059 I agree 100%. It was already remastered correctly on the vinyl.

@@jazziccoolcat is differences are big?

@Noise Buffet i dont think so. They master orginal tapes using analog compressors etc.

@@titanhasfreedus8059 vc n entendeu a piada

I'm sure you'll get there!

🙈🤣🙈😁😂🙈😁🤣🙈😁😁😁

I genuinely didn't notice that. thank you :)

a "spiral" indeed

Should it be swirling the other way? Not that there's a right way to be fair...

Thank you!!

Never you mind what it sounds like old bean.

What a comment! 👏

complicated snake sounds so fucking funny im stealing it

lol i dont understand it but i get it tho...

It isn't hard to play, is hard to improvise on.. which is kinda the same I guess. The thing about that song is that while improvising the key is like a frame, the chords are changing but at least you know the frame so you can follow. But there is this thing called Modulation where you change the key mid song, and its very disorienting because you have to change the frame you are working with. Giants steps changes keys every two chords.

Equally difficult to play the Joe Pass version on guitar, I hear.

I've read here and there that it's loosely based on some Ravel's Ondine chords.

Standard bar set here so most think but then Countdown which changes key every measure... Ill just be in the sand box still... isnt this the greatest ?

@@cinepo Countdown changes every measure... im sorry.. in advance... lol

"Pretty good".Cute.

@@michaelroach4219 someone doesnt get jokes

@@extendicus262 hmm.I wonder who that could be.

Hey, the pianist isn't bad either. Before anyone screams into the void, actually he's great. I saw McCoy Tyner a couple of times. I was jamming with someone at the time who said I was hitting the piano keys too hard, and when we saw McCoy the first time, I turned to my friend and said, "I hit the keys too hard?'" Talk about a great dynamic range. Beethoven would've been happy listening to that man jamming.

AMEN

Winton Kelly's piano solo is also strikingly beautiful.

PEACE ~ GIVE A LISTEN TO DOUG AND JEAN CARN VERSION OF NAIMA ~ HU

Naima was Trane's 1st wife.

Beethoven’s Fifth symphony originally premiered in 1808 at a huge concert in Vienna. Beethoven did all the conducting himself. 0:08 [Piano TV]

Came to see if this idiotic comment is real. And it is.

@@b.u.r.n9175 yeah, and?

@@oozrenn you're a meme bro

Lmao

i wish i was shitposting about music in a bunker

其れならば今で言えばラジオ日経様の朝までまるごとBGMタイムを流してくれますよ。

Another planète this man he did harmony différents like standard jazz but the New World was not ready i think anyway hé was a great sax player and willl still for ever bye'

I have just onde side :(

same description, sax and piano on the left, drums and bass on the right.... it's delicious

You can hear the bass in both channels but everything else you said was right

heh, it's in my workout playlist too.

coltrane and his saxophone are right behind you, chasing you down a busy freeway. run.

That is called behaviorism...

Yeah exactly this, I was listening to this closely trying to transcribe and I realised that Coltrane repeats a lot of stuff. They're really difficult changes and I think Flannagan gets a bad rap when he actually has some really nice ideas

Oh you're right, it's a shame Flannagan couldn't get away with it. But I think that ( I may be wrong) he's outdone because he tries to follow exactly the harmony and the chords, which is very difficult. I wonder, what if he had played it as a kinda modal improvisation... Like Coltrane in My Fav Things. However, there is a wonderful "earworm" video about it : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJikfNmXtZ-lYqs.html

i don't think that's true, coltrane had been playing those sequences for years already. if you transcribe the solo you can tell just how deliberate the repetition is and how masterfully he weaves together recurring ideas throughout the 11 first choruses. just check out how easy he blows over countdown; he got those changes down.

@@ellblaek1032 Ah ok. I'm currently 2 choruses in on my transcription so I'll look out for that

@@benwinstanleymusic oh duude you are in for a treat! it's basically a masterclass on flowing between pentatonic shapes, keep an ear out for the sparse bebop lines and altered shapes (: what instrument are you transcribing on?

Coltrane changes. lot of science behind those ascending/descending major thirds

I know how you feel my man. Regards from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This record changed the possibility of musical life for millions of musicians. Coltrane is a church.❤🙏

Justin Tyler Jimenez Hello Justin, There is excellent biography of Paul Chambers, entitled: Mr P.C. the life and music of Paul Chambers, written by Rob Palmer. ( Published by: equinox, 2012 ) Apologies if you already know this. Saw Paul Chambers, play live with Miles Davis, at The Free Trade Hall, Manchester, U.K. in 1960. Peace to all.

...an envious person.

sax is out of tune

This kind of Jazz pieces require quite a bit of acquired taste. Some people may have come here because it's supposed to be a must-listen, but they're not ready to enjoy this music for various reasons. There is a ton of music I couldn't appreciate at first, and that I gradually became to appreciate, either after listening to it several times, or after listening to some other “introductory” music. Heck, I even had a hard time listening to Thelonious Monk at first, and it's really classical & easy to listen to, compared to Miles Davis, Coltrane, etc. IMHO

"it's impossible for somebody to dislike jazz"

just blowing

@@ronfrey5327MIND BLOWN… COUNTDOWN JUST WOW

@joerogan I found your comments interesting. I bought this album ( Giant Steps ) in 1960, from Hime and Addison,. Record Shop, in Manchester, England, UK. I believe I had one of the few Copies in UK, at that time. I was 20 years of age at that time. Over the years I've replaced with CD, etc. Peace to all.

What did you think of the totality if the sound of the album as opposed to the CD?

@@ahambrahmasmi108 I gotta be honest w/ you i rarely if ever listen to vinyls anymore these days, I mostly listen to my iTunes library from either computer or my old iPod or my iPhone - meaning it's mostly w/ earphones, I still have a CD player in my car so its CDs or radio when driving, and on my stereo it's basically CDs too, and the occasional 'old vinyl' in that case w/o head phones...so to answer your question, I can't say for sure, it sounds different o my ears, one reason I'm sure because I've listened to it only w/o phones, it's got that vinyl warmth for sure, but I'm so used to listening w/ earphones that I can't say it is 'better', w/ earphones you can really hear the individual instruments a bit more clearly isolated, but I'm no audiophile nor am I that preceptive of frequencies and such so...the vinyl is great, but I got it mostly because of it's historical significance, I say it one of those vinyls that are worth owning. One of the criticism that I have of 'old jazz' is that despite the charm and warmth of recordings, one can't really hear the individual instruments very clearly, in many instances, piano and bass and buried, so I don't mind the earphones to enhance my listening ability...

if I'm not mistaken that's art Taylor on drums.

the under appreciated AT you will never hear him mentioned with Max,or Art, or Elvin or Klook or Roy etc but he has appeared on a ton of stuff and is always tasty@@MegaLJ3

They were still learning how to transfer sound from analog to digital properly back then.

@@gregmottola8539 how far we've come

My first jazz was return to forever, featuring Chick Corea

@@philmoan9432 with Bill Connors or Al DiMeola? Amazing sounds.

Ahh hh im two years new to the Metropolis and this Joey is indeed correct ! Peace

Lol

I came here for Giant Steps but stayed through Mr. P.C. No, not related to Paul.

You what

Oh my God,you're scaring me.
