Branford Marsalis - A Love Supreme, live at Amsterdam -2003-

[@Muzichar77]

Can’t believe that I can actually write this - but I was there. I was in Bimhuis Amsterdam that night, when this amazing performance was recorded. What a privilege for a twenty year old, and a sax student at the time. The best live show I have ever witnessed, without a doubt.

[@GuidoWilden]

Brandford sat down with Alice Coltrane for an interview when this was recorded. Was she in the audience?

[@Muzichar77]

Pretty amazing what humans can do

[@CribNotes]

The Branford Marsalis Quartet at its PEAK. This video is a great rendition of what these guys were doing but to be there and feel that energy coming off the stage? Haven't witnessed anything before or after like it. I saw this line up perform five times in small venues and holy shit.....they never failed to burn down the stage. So good it's almost laughable. Tain coming out of an epic drum solo right into a 320 bpm swing? Hahaha! Listening to these guys live was like riding a roller coaster. Strap on your seat belts!

[@bobmichelle]

That "Resolution" opening line at 9:19 is soooo cool

[@dominikn19]

True! 🔥🔥🔥

[@GinoBlackOfficial]

A most beautiful tribute to John. “A Love Supreme” is in my top 5 all time recordings. Pure genius!

[@thabanizikalala2941]

this is the highest level of jazz all around from Brandford to the drummer, what a performance particularly "Resolution"

[@Johnwilkinsonofficial]

BranDford??? cmon, do better.

[@usher-p]

the drummer?

[@xerxes1972]

Once I asked my mother flight attendant: please, when in New York, go into a music store and ask for the best in jazz. She returned with Branford's Dark Keys and Kenny Werner's Delicate Balance. That was a game changer. Later on I got a record of a Love Supreme but it might be with Kenny Kirkland on the piano, I think. About ten years later. I took my future wife to a live performance in Warszawa Torwar and I told her: You are about to experience something amazing and absolutely on the highest level of musicianship. She was amazed especially by the contrast between the supporting act and Branford with Joey on the piano and Watts on the drums. I forget who the bass player was.

[@knowhandedbob]

I’m amazed Jeff Tain Watts isn’t serving 25 to life for murdering them drums 🙏🏿

[@Joshualbm]

This is holy music. We need this. It is us.

[@unguja64]

Sacred, indeed.

[@jeffreynewton1070]

In 2005, I actually sat in with this same group and survived! (Flint Michigan, the Whiting Auditorium as Bran's guest). In 2019, I played Resolution when Ravi Coltrane and Matt Garrison (Jimmy's son, bassist on the original) both stopped by to complement my playing. Both experiences were outta sight!

[@YaoEspirito]

What's your instrument?

[@nic_jamess7792]

We don't care bro 🤣😂

[@bustabass9025]

Good for you...

[@quadracept576]

The technical ability on display here by all four musicians is simply astounding...

[@KhalDrogo76]

come back to this set alot, pure genius playing all around....Branford for me is the only horn on the planet who gets even close to Trane's music the way its meant to sound

[@trevorsmith8950]

Aside from the obvious brilliance of the musicians, the audience is also great. So glad to have jazz fans that don't mind cheering like this in a club.

[@bobbysands6923]

Ah, this was Europe though...different animals...

[@monktrane325]

Branford is intelligent, creative, open minded, listens and the best of todays saxohone players. Another man I love is Joshua Redmond, these two gentlemen are on par with each other. Thank God when we think that many masters are gone. We have Mr Wayne Shorter and a few other killin' players.

[@bobbysands6923]

Tain was the best then, and still is. He is also hilarious and a great guy. I've seen him play dozens of times but never saw this video till this week. This is the greatest jazz performance ever. What a gem.

[@FRAUSS]

wow wow wow ! the spirit of coltrane was here !

[@scotttully8572]

Bless you and the squad, Branford, for attacking the Giant with such devotion 🙇🏼

[@jormunmo]

A great tribute to one of the most famous albums of jazz, Coltrane forever

[@kevinstewart3029]

The Gospel of John

[@henrycadman5564]

Brings a tear to my eye man

[@harrisonjazzensemble]

What an amazing tribute to the John Coltrane Quartet! This is probably one of the few bands in the world who have the skills to pull it off and they did!

[@JamesWood207]

Can't believe it is 13 years on from this amazing live, ultra-intense recording. Calderazzo's solos or resolution & pursuance will go down as some of the finest in jazz piano history. I transcribed them both 10Y ago and they have seeped into my subsconscious!! God bless you guys and thanks!

[@trevorsmith8950]

...got a pdf? :)

[@Nosoyunnombre]

Piano player here Can we have the transcription? :D it would be great

[@florisvandijk6106]

I'd very much like those transcriptions. Willing to pay.

[@breadboy2712]

Elvin would approve. Tain is fantastic... as always. Everyone playing here is dope!

[@cerimccoy]

Holy Mother of God 28:30 to 2:40! Joey Calderazzo ...So clever the harmony with the bass player and drummer. What a quote!

[@charlesbarry971]

Tribute to John Coltrane. A masterpiece. Well done.

[@yembot]

the bloke on the keys. hot damn. it's all excellent.

[@unaivicente]

wonderful interpretation of a masterpiece, branford is simply one of the most creative living musicians, period.

[@mansionman6162]

Not gonna argue!

[@longfade]

Branford seems to be the most appropriate torch-bearer for this music. It really has meaning here - insane intensity.

[@AGD1493]

lovr is the healing force of the universe !!!!!

[@timothymcguire2525]

A beautiful interpretation by one of the master of our time!!! This truly is A Love Supreme! Coltrane is such an inspiration and branford did it justice. Thank you for the post and thank God for Trane!

[@mareaumusic]

So much Groove, so much Soul!

[@sirrjazz734]

That was the BEST A Love Supreme I've heard since I heard 'Trane himself do it!!! ASOLUTELY MARVELOUS...I think 'Trane himself would've enjoyed this, & I believe 'Trane Elvin, & Jimmy was THERE!!! THE ENTIRE QUARTET WAS INTO THIS PERFORMANCE!!!

[@hmm4214]

Elvin was still alive when this was recorded.

[@doudosh10]

I CANT STOP LOOPING THIS. PLEASE HELP.

[@divamoltheromanticnihilist4215]

Far Out - Watching this just made me a better human and a better musician

[@fernangomezvalenzuela8163]

No way... this is unbelievable. What an amazing performance.

[@MarioCalzadaMusic]

Wow. This is imposible. I think i´ll watch again

[@TheodorusRex]

Over the top! What a tribute to Coltrane... Jeff Tain Watts Baby!!!

[@ilyasax]

One of the best youtube video ever!!!!

[@johnsaunders4836]

I think this is the only quartet that I have ever seen did Draw interest to me playing love supreme beautiful

[@huntermcleod8231]

I’ve never heard a jazz crowd get so into it

[@andreasnendza9667]

The Amsterdam Community really enjoy those kind of Jam Session since a long time, they are able to love every moment of it. Hard to find 💞😜💞😁

[@Johnleflexible]

This is the sickest mofockin jazz i ve ever seen. Thank you Coltrane. Best piano and saxophone solos ever on Resolution. So much energy

[@rmoraespinto]

There was a time when I listened to Trane everyday, all day long. The "A Love Supreme" album, in particular, was on my TT all the time. Thank you so much, Aiina, for calling me back to my cradle.

[@scotttully8572]

Have you hit up "Blues for Colttane" with Pharoah Sanders yet, my friend?

[@rmoraespinto]

@@scotttully8572 Sorry for taking me so long to reply. Thank you for the hint. After reading it, I went to check it out immediately. Great! Such a "tranish" recording! And the pleasure of hearing Mr. Haynes dazzling razmataz at the drums (even though Mr. Jones continues to be my nuber one drummer).

[@micketenor]

My God. This is FANTASTIC

[@andreasnendza9667]

The hole audience worked with, to let it happen so joyfully 💞😁. Thanks Amsterdam

[@Miles2theHorizon]

The YT alg sure got it right with this recommendation. Holy Crap! Branford is so on it's ridiculous. Tain is channeling his inner Elvin--you can see it on his face. All I can say is Wow.

[@codyeynon8467]

This is a superlative performance.

[@fredtolliver4798]

That Marsalis family ain't no joke.....RIP Ellis....the Patriarch

Como é dificil tocar esse álbum mesmo hoje. Coltrane não estava para brincadeira não, simplesmente uma LENDA não só do JAZZ mais da história da música mundial!
