Bootleg of John Coltrane 4tet + Eric Dolphy in Copenhagen 1961 | bernie's bootlegs

[@roofdweller]

Tried to listen to this while cooking dinner tonight. Impossible to do both so I turned off the stove burners, poured a tall glass of Spanish red wine (Jumilla), sat down in pillows and actively listened to this miracle of eternity in time preserved in time. The godhead of 5 ever bestowing, blessings upon them. Gratitude to the nth degree.

[@thejazztherapyjesse]

Sounds like Heaven ❤

[@ayezay2677]

There is no godhead expect one true God who loves all and sent his son to die and raise from the dead for the whole universe to save us In Jesus Name Amen

[@sequoyahcisneros8719]

I'm 15, I would give anything to go back and see these five greats among so many others perform, and ask those who have inspired and helped me to be where I am a thing or two about life, and the search for music.

[@Domingorparedes]

No wax was wasted in this recording. An absolute masterpiece!!!!!

[@bustabass9025]

This for me was tantamount to discovering some Lost Village Vanguard sessions. Those recordings with this ensemble are legendary. This offering is an existential part of that great music.

[@岩佐浩章-o2q]

i love Coltrane sound!!

[@themajor-theminor2800]

Thanks for the stamps! 🎷

[@albertbrown359]

Such a splendid performance. Everyone at " one" with each other. I am overwhelmed with delight.

[@bomay5752]

Eric Dolphy was with us such a short time - as was Coltrane - and gave us magnificent gifts & memories

[@davidgodoy9561]

I have tears in my eyes. This is such a beautiful recording! It’s wild to think that this performance was played live. Coltrane was seriously on another level.

[@ronaldjohnson380]

How fortunate we are to have been exposed to these creative musical geniuses that have left us a legacy that will be eternal.

[@jakobamodise7416]

God bless you for sharing this beauty, sounds like a studio recording. Keep on digging ❤

[@DPOWER222]

This recording is magical.🪄The level of playing is astounding and beautiful. 🤎🌄Jazz is musical medicine for whatever ails you 😉

[@anonamouse.p4115]

Bernie, THANKS for being so kind to the person who asked of these giant men on Flea's Instagram. I do believe the man knew who COLTRANE and DOLHY are. Let's be honest though, it is not easy to distinguish images on our phones. PROPS for being so kind to him. Subscribed and shared with my Friends x!

[@selahsportstv]

Coltrane and Dolphy had a great musical rapport

[@patricederrez]

I listen and tears flow without breaking my eyes. Joy makes us cry, for it is pure Light that flows into our hearts. Thank you for sharing this treasure!

[@hanshi422]

THIS is a killer. Fantastic upload, Bernie. Think about it. This was almost 60 years ago, (56), and no one has come close to the energy of this collective genius and passion, and in my view, ever will. It was a different time and place. Imitators can try, fiddle with their horns, play transcriptions, whatever; ain't gonna happen. How profoundly fortunate we all were to have them among us.

[@bluetoad2001]

Hanshi Stephen Kaufman well said😎

[@stevensam17]

My sentiment exactly. We are profoundly fortunate that Trane was here & gave so , so much in his short life. I saw him many times at the Jazz Workshop in SF as a kid, standing at the door listening cause I was too young to get in but in heaven all the same. Talked to him on break one time & got his autograph. My treasure. This music is timeless & like you say, no one has or ever will come even close to the genius & intensity of Trane & this band.

[@stevensam17]

And we get to hear Trane talking which is very rare

Eternal sacred music🙏🏽

[@edlathy4776]

Elvin's brush work is incredible on Everytime We Say Good Bye and Naima--chrning, pushing prodding incessantly swinging of course on sticks as well. Nobody pushes soloists on brushes or sticks like that. I saw classic quartet after Garrison took over on bass in St Louis as teenager. Transforming, incredible! One set, one hard driving tune consumed the entire set. Coltrane eating a pear out of a brown bag on break ar Gino's Bar now long gone bar on Delmar Blvd in St Louis. An of age friend got me in, and I had a coke while he drank nursed a beer. I didn't have money to pay for a second set and friend had to go. I'll never forget it. Mesmerizing. I bought all his albums after that until his death.

Wow man, what an amazing experience! I can only imagine what it must've been like)

[@vincentlavorgna2867]

Brilliant Dolphy!

[@L1stener]

Love Coltrane's voice before My Favorite Things

[@meretevoneyben9940]

Thank you, Bernie, for uploading one of the first jazz concerts I attended in my hometown, Copenhagen. I've loved Coltrane ever since and was lucky enough to also her him at a jazz festival in Belgium shortly before he died. If only he and Dolphy could still be with us. But at least we'll always have their music.

[@stanleymasaku5708]

I love Coltrane madly!

[@giulianogherpelli9805]

Oh my God... Incredible....

[@pierrepicot3706]

That's all love music's and that musician's give them soul at every moments

[@vincentbuccieri9305]

An Excellent Dissertation from the Master!

[@3rdearexperience]

Dolphy inspired Trane to a whole other level of playing - thanks for posting - Long reign the the Supreme!

[@LendallPitts]

Agree!

[@abdullahkarim2804]

Sound's Fresh and Ravi stills play John will live for long Time.

[@tinadownes3413]

Mr Coleman, besides for more than 50 years professionally playing flute, alto flute, bassflute and contrabassflute, I also play tenor, alto & soprano sax. So yes .. I can assure you, Coltrane is playing a soprano sax.

[@johnmartin4152]

And here I thought I had already heard the perfect performance of "Impressions". Thanks for correcting me.

[@prcty]

Beautiful find ....breathe taking pure genius

[@rohansask9638]

Heard this on the radio in the early nineties, found in on cd in Japan years later, then the cd got damaged, didn't hear it for years thinking it was lost for good, then I found it here. Thanks for the upload! This one is pretty special to me.

[@DarkMatter-no3td]

I can agree... I'm actually a trumpet player, but I gravitated more towards Coltrane vs Miles, and many others. My Coltrane discography is way more vast than Miles, though I love and appreciate what they both pioneered in Jazz.

[@michaeld.nichols2552]

Beautiful came to mind, before reading other reviews

[@maxteba]

What a splendid photography

[@JoeDixon-wy4gf]

There is so much joy in this recording! I love the different solos of Coltrane and Eric Dolphy on My Favorite Things!

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love his music!!

[@laurent.berthelier]

Merci à vous. Sublime.

[@AdamMcLean]

Brilliant structured piano solo by McCoy Tyner on 'My Favourite Things'. You can hear all his vamping devices, then dissolving into the melody.

[@fliggityboo8687]

This is hands-down one of the greatest ever versions of My Favorite Things they've ever played, Dolphy had me stop everything I was doing and thinking once his part began. Absolutely worth the false start, no one is perfect, not even these expert musicians.

[@RonCarterBassist]

Classic.

[@jimbrown1559]

This was a great band. I heard Trane a few years later in Cincinnati with much the same, minus Dolphy, who had passed, and a few years after that, in Chicago. And I heard a lot of McCoy's bands, and Elvin's, in Chicago, in the '70s - '90s. Trane lost me after about '63, but I hung in with McCoy until he died.

[@juancalvibassclarinet1171]

Amazing, Coltrane and Dolpgy toghether, thanks lots!

[@JonesyTheCat]

Timeless

[@mananaadamia1657]

I like this music

[@robertmbruno]

Gee, I can't recall ever hearing Trane playing "Delilah" . That was a nice surprise . Dolphy plays more inside for a change on Max and Clifford vehicle. McCoy also plays more conservatively yet brings that era back when they were hot. Coltrane's second solo tickles the ear as it must have affected him inside his skull.Going back and playing it out without a lot of embellishments, in the original style is a rare treat. Thanks for sharing this terrific boot.

[@BerniesBootlegs1]

You're welcome!

[@msorrent11]

Delilah really sets the foundation of this fantastic set!

[@AMEER-114-]

​@@BerniesBootlegs1 And dont you forget to make money off of the creative inventive abilities of men long dead.. Better quit it and cry out TO JESUS daily...

Note the stakkato playing in Coltrane’s solo in Favorite Things. Awesome, a one off never heard before or since. Thanks!

On “Impressions”, Best Dolphy solo I’ve ever heard. Thx!

[@bjones4075]

American classical music!!!!!

[@mangalarobertwatling9168]

Thanks for this. I have heard several of the boots from this tour but not this one until now. Delilah is new to me. The highlight of all these performances though is My Favorite Things with Eric Dolph's flute. Magically, transcendentally beautiful. I am just in awe of this music. Thanks again.

[@mangalarobertwatling9168]

Dolphy"s...sorry.

[@fernandopo6399]

There are many versions recorded of Coltrane playing My Favourite Things - this is one of the best!

[@zhangyuandyou]

One of the best versions of My Favorite Things. Eric Dolphy added a lot to it.

[@zg-mzga]

13:51 one of my favorite numbers of all time. nice surprise here as i hadn't looked at the track listing. thank you

[@daleyokuwa9334]

John coltrane is my favourite jazz musician I think I am obsessed with him

[@TaichiStraightlife]

"Wow that was freakin' swell..." ...is what somehow blurted out of my spontaneous mouth in my otherwise empty room, when this ravishing music from long ago became silence once more... Thanks so much for the experience Bernie!

[@michaelellingson9282]

great recording of great musicians playing great music !

[@beltonhogue6845]

Fantastic

[@JoRei953]

Trane & Elvin: their superb partnership in its beginning phase, the uncanny telepathy is already evident. And Dolphy was the only reed player at that time who could match JC step-for-step when it came to improvisation.

[@paulturner6334]

Well you have to include ornette coleman,Archie shepp, sun Ra and albert ayler to name a few.

[@paulturner6334]

Rashan Roland kirk, he is improv,I would never suggest who was better each voice was unique.

[@maick95]

@@paulturner6334 Sun Ra wasn't a reed player, perhaps you meant John Gilmore, who had a direct influe on Coltrane's playing

[@strangersname]

Thank you for putting up this gorgeous concert. Sublime music and beautiful improvisation from Coltrane, Dolphy and friends. Trane was really flying high at the end of My Favorite Things, wow!

[@jeanmichelachiary9336]

I must say this is one hell of a gig from two of the most accomplished players that I have ever heard on their instruments. Bernie thank you very much for sharing. How do I get hold of this music, I am not interested in cd´s.

Exciting record... Oh, Coltrane, oh my Coltrane... ♥

[@mananaadamia1657]

My

[@ronlewis6436]

opening track is outstanding. just think of the youth of McKoy and the mastery of Coltranes soprano work. It was not even ten years of his learning of the horn.

[@Observatur]

Ever noticed the 'hilarious anouncement 'and another instrument' and the bent body of the tenorsaxophone on the photograph, had it happened during the crossing of the Atlantic, it would have been impossible or at least really troublesome to play the low register... (especially good to hear end of closing theme of Impressions 31"17', where Trane misses first time playing low D to B and then again where it sounds really harsh, to me as a repairman an indication of a malfunctioning saxophone) BTW this comment stands apart from this document being unique and great to listen to!

[@brucepurnell8835]

This is beautiful. The recording engineers did a fantastic job

[@jimbrown1559]

Only if you think that piano, bass, and drums don't matter, and all three on this set are virtuosi. The music is great, but it's a lousy recording. Even with huge high end boost in my playback, there's still no presence to the piano or horns, cymbals are barely there, so is the bass. Only the horns are well recorded, musical balance is poor.

[@garykornfield6048]

I was so surprised by them opening with Delilah. Was this a regular feature?
