I bought this record in high school. It was one of the first jazz records I ever bought, after "Miles Davis' Greatest Hits" and "Buddy Rich Big Band." I've been a Coltrane (and jazz) fan ever since.
@@Brumz65"ONE OF" already says there are others so you had absolutely no need to ruin a beautiful comment by adding Charlie Parker to diminish John Coltrane's shine🙄
when I' ll have to leave this planet I want This Tune played at my departure , please !!! This has been my favorite recording since I was a boy and still now I cant' listen to it without crying ... I cant' think nothing else during this mtf coda ... nothing else, just listening and crying. Thanks Mr. John , Mr. Elvin , Mr. Mc Coy and Mr. Jimmy I really loved your music all my life long and I feel somehow proud of it . Thanks for sharing this !!!
Piero Borri my dad died feb 6, he was in a coma for a week, it was his favourite song, I looked it up and put on the first one that came up on RU-vid by Miles Davis, the minute it started playing he started dying and he took his last breath right before the song ended, his face was next to mine and I cried and cried. I love and miss you daddy beyond belief. The loss is enormous, this is for you daddy❤
Coltrane must have played this song a gazillion times! And with this version......he took it to another 'level'...............THE MOON! From 2:17-2:38, he takes a little 4 note idea and explores it like the great classical composers! Another one comes in at 3:19-3:47. Man......I'm exhausted after listening to his solo. I can't even imagine hearing this at a 'gig' of his. It probably would have lasted a full hour! In addition, Coltrane had a tendency to take the ending and play around with the 'turn-around' (two, five, three and six of the chords). That's a song in itself!!! There will NEVER EVER BE another John William Coltrane!
