#6 'Countdown' by John Coltrane in Carnatic Scat Singing by Varijashree

'Countdown' by John Coltrane is yet another immortal masterpiece that's inspired many musicians around the world, and I've had an enlightening experience learning, transcribing and spending time with this composition.
Today is my dear father's birthday, so I dedicate this humble attempt in vocalising 'Countdown' to him!
Hope you all like it. Please use headphones for better listening!

Guys, play it at .25 speed. She’s singing EVERY FUCKING NOTE!! This is THE most impressive vocal performance I have seen in KZbin.

[@tiluriso]

Did you hear her take on 'Giant Steps'? Equally mind-boggling! Absolutely flawless...

[@5amJones69]

Yeah it's fucking insane.

[@RaymondLohengrin]

Thank you I did the same after reading your comment. Amazing. Have you checked her Indian singing? She sings like an angel the Indian songs.

[@victorgabr]

YES, she is singing EVERY FUCKING NOTE!! OMG! that's fucking INSANE.

[@zenrendipity]

Not only nails it but saves on carrying heavy equipment to her gigs. Well done.

[@joeyharrison]

As someone else requested, I too, would like to hear you do this without Trane's accompaniment so that your own prowess is plainly audible. You are a remarkable talent.

[@vivienchauveau8336]

My eyes are trembling !!!!

[@kumar7359]

How? How? How? I am an Indian classical musician. Even to distinguish all the notes Coltrane plays at that speed is arduous. Here Varija is singing along with him. Omg. I would certainly love to personally visit you and wish you. Do you live in Bengaluru? Next visit to the city I would be delighted to meet you.

[@garylsmalley]

I just discovered your Giant Sreps video and went to your channel. Now this? Who are you, what are you lol. You are super human! Amazing on pitch vocals... keep them coming. I just subbed.

[@handdancin]

you gotta do one of these accapella or without the solo instrument at least- its so god damn cool, and your precision would really shine

[@aprilsigns4175]

This how a young person learns. They emulate, and clearly she has monster ears! Keep up the GREAT work, Varijashree!!!

[@hyrumkohler]

How did I miss this one? I've watched nearly every video on the channel and just found this gem 🤯 Might be my new favorite

[@RaymondLohengrin]

When I saw your first video I thought amazing , then I believed it was pure genius and then I realized that this is out of this world. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift and dedication.

[@ronlevymusic]

She not only nails it, she clearly LOVES this music! Yes yes yes!

[@tomgrosemusic]

Tears in my eyes for the excellence of Varijashree

[@Oenloveslife]

SO fabulous! Mind and mouth and breath from another planet!

[@scottallen9556]

I can't decide what's more impressive, her vocal range and control or her memory. Both are otherworldly!

[@anthonysmith1555]

Mr. John Coltrane resonates in all over the world. What a Musical genius.

[@mabe8682]

Wow, another absolutely amazing discovery on KZbin. I'm speechless, I never thought this was even possible.

[@amarguitar]

[@big-baby-buddha]

Beautiful! A truly wonderful offering! Maximum Respect! Thanks.

[@robertboyette5169]

You are a God. Yep definitely. I've never seen anyone who I could securely call a vocal master, but I can say that you have truly mastered vocalization, whatever that even means.

[@AshwinSax]

[@charlablevins474]

Absolutely gorgeous and inspiring!

[@bailahie4235]

Indian singing (and that of related cultures) is in many respects technically very advanced and sophisticated, ever listened to some classical Indian music? It is one of my favourite music genres - and I am not Indian (nor related).They do a lot of melodies even faster than this tempo.... ! This is a piece of cake for a trained Indian singer like this lady...! ;-) ... Bravo !

[@agustinechazarreta2444]

No da masssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pdub414]

You are simply extraordinary! Peace Queen

[@yorgossmak]

You make me want to listen to Coltrane more and more....

[@anthonysmith1555]

@yorgossmak you really should. And let Coltrane take you on a mind blowing journey.

[@flyingisland7583]

[@marcantoun]

Love this! Just curious about how... by ear? Slowing it down? Working with a transcription?

[@Bayo106]

This might be the best thing I've seen on youtube. So amazing!

[@QuartetodoRio]

Inacreditável!!! Sensacional!!! Parabéns e abraço do Quarteto do Rio - Brasil

[@MossBravado]
