John Coltrane Quartet en "Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual" 

1. Afro Blue 2. Alabama 3. Impressions Thanks for the upload! Such a treasure.

Such a tight group - each man was a genius. I've been listening to Coltrane for over 60 years. Never gets old. What a genius. Even my parrots prefer Coltrane and Miles Davis to any other music.

John Coltrane, soprano and tenor saxophones McCoy Tyner, piano Jimmy Garrison, bass Elvin Jones, drums

Ralph Gleason enjoying the best music and musicians of the history, smoking a pipe. What a great time to be alive!

This is one of the best bands ever assembled, regardless of genre. These cats are smokin. RIP

Compare televised entertainment of 2020...sure evidence of cultural decline.

Elvin Jones w his sense of time, unrivaled, unraveling, unknown and unheimlich.....

As far as I’m concerned, they were Thee GREATEST Jazz quartet of all time. Jazz Casual was one those classic tv shows of a bygone era. This version of Alabama just tears your heart out!

The world needs more of this.

To say the least, Ralph made a significant contribution to our culture and society.

McCoy for the love of God....

Coltrane broke music down in it's fundamental building blocks and built what I can only describe as simply masterful lil tunes that feel worldliness

So was this on T.V. , man what has happend to us? There are some great modern jazz peeps who could get cool exposure on T.V. There was a really cool show couple of years ago The David Sanborn show that did some of that but now its all just RU-vid and online, which is cool but the major nets should still do this too. Not trying to be old or something just wondering why were not opening our minds more, in the popular public venues such as T.V. This is of course not including PBS which does some .

Simply magnificent. So creative and so brilliantly performed. Music with the power to take your mind to a place outside of normal earthly limits, and where there are no boundaries. Totally addictive because it makes you feel like you have been set free.

Jimmy Garrison is just unreal... this should be on TV everyday. We've got MTV and other utter shite...

Can anyone listen to JOHN COLTRANE and say that he was not blessed by GOD.

I love seeing Alice Coltrane chilling in the back....

MAGNIFICO, ESTUPENDO, MARAVILLOSO, BELLO.

if u watched this whole thing we're married now. luv ya

This is one of the greatest bass solos I've ever heard

Saw Afro Blue, and when Ralph Gleason talked about the next two original compositions, I had to see them. So glad they're posted. TY

On the soprano, on the tenor ... utmost inspiration. And so was the pianist McCoy Tinner, recently dead, at 81, in the dispair of 2020. Luiz Felipe, from Brasil

Alabama is one of the best socially conscious songs ever!

I heard Mccoy say his greatest musical joy was listening to John Coltrane every night.

That Alabama head kills me every time.

McCoy Tyner is a master goddamn!

Some would say that he may or may not have partaken in lick playing at 24:40

La respuesta emocional es lo que importa.....JOHN COLTRANE

Unlike the other "Jazz Casual" programs, Coltrane let's his music do all the talking. Gleason holds no conversations with Coltrane, but he does with Gillespie, Basie, Brubeck, Cannonball etc. This is just the way Coltrane does it.

Nice bass solo! Like his vocalization as well.

Best of the best right here. Intense, elegant and beautiful.

They kill first time, every time.

Hello Osobipolar , i m french shizoide french boy...for me the best musicians of all time..."voice of god" thank you for sharing to other people.

This is the best musical set recorded on video

John Coltrane is perfection!

He is not dancing around like the classical music dummies nowadays.

Wow! Beyond words

Happy birthday Saint John Coltrane!

John was channelling from somewhere - a location he can see and only he knows. The divine is immortal and changeless.

Coltrane is the voice of God.

Good Lord, that was 27 minutes?? Felt like about 5.

This bass solo though. When he brings it back 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆

0:00 Afro Blue 7:09 Alabama 13:05 impressions

so gorgeous!… & the seeds of modality forged here with Coltrane & Tyner respectively … awestruck

Não falta nenhuma nota. Obrigado John Coltrane, onde você estiver, sempre haverá música.

this video got me back on track

....... The outro ending of Alabama is from another Dimension..you can hear and feel the four little girls ascension to heaven....and Elvin Jones drums at the end is unreal....

Top of the mountain, 1963, yeah !

Sublime Spirit

"Alabama"! Still for today

awe Mcoy Tyner just passed about a month ago

Okay. Church is over. Have the pastor give the alter call. Let us all go to the local restaurant and eat some chicken in memory of the Bird.

man every one of these guys is just amazing

4:30 - You can witness the exact moment that Ralph Gleason dies and goes to jazz heaven.

The "Lick" at 24:40. You're welcome.

2nd best Saxman of all time, to Bird. But to me 1st, on the Hard Bop tip !!

Je n'a sais trop si Coltrane se laisse transporter vers l'Afrique ou ramène ce continent berceau vers lui

This makes a strong case for one of the greatest musical ensembles of all time. Wow!

huge waves of chills in my body

Love modal, atonal...Love John Coltrane

This is just unreal WOW!!!...

Alabama!

holy shit

"Alabama"... it dont get any better.

Incredible video...thank you!

24:40 Here come the licc

A great piano solo and a beer buzz you Mize well be walking in heaven

Makes me Philly proud because of McCoy and Jimmy being natives and Trane an adopted son ……..

Thanks for sharing this transcendent music from one of the greatest ever quartets of any genre. We are blessed to have not only the vinyl, but these TV recordings that allow us to appreciate their musicianship visually.

Thanks for removing Gleason and making such a high quality upload. Incredible stuff.

AMEN TO THAT !!!

excellent. thank you very much, osobipolar :)

All this ice up in here.

For those aspiring cameramen and women, behold, the person you do not want to be: caught in the frame of a performance for the gods. First song, dead center.

I use to watch this as a young kid living in los angeles but missed this one. Thanks for posting! Amazing.

I love Coltrane. I never liked his soprano sax timbre.

若き日に何度も見たビデオ。懐かしい。🙄

Afro blue what a great piece by Coltrane , you think Coltrane is the best and you hear the pianist and you think it can’t get better than this and the drums has been at a an A game since the dawn, we all know jazz whenever drum is appreciated base is where it all started anyways these musicians gave a glimpse at how human consciousness proceeds and told ants nah we humans we control your food chain if tou can’t appreciate this piece of art please don’t talk to me me because our very laws of physics has been manipulated at that point your a Bat 🦇 to me wit all this going on I’ve haven’t heard anything beautiful anywhere or anytime.

So great! Trane Forever

There were only three bass players that can play in the right way the music of Coltrane... P.C., Scott La Faro and Charles Mingus.... All the rests were noise...

久しぶりにコルトレーン聴きましたマッコイがやっぱりええなぁ

wow

marvellous

Who the fuck is mutherfucking Ralph Gleason?????????????

Favolosi

que grande John Coltrane...master of Jazz

Un trésor. Y’a pas de mot pour décrire ça... alors je la ferme. Merci pour le partage.

Exceptionnel ,Merci pour avoir mis à notre disposition cette oeuvre colossale.

Leaning up against the piano and smoking whilst McCoy Tyner is playing is unforgivable!!

Quels géants!
