HIS COMPOSITION SKILLS ARE EXCELLENT HERE! WHEN YOU THINK OF JAZZ AS WHAT IT IS, AFRICAN AMERICAN CLASSICAL MUSIC, YOU HAVE TO THINK OF TRANE FIRST! YOU SHOULD REACT TO, A LOVE SUPREME or GIANT STEPS also by COLTRANE! GREAT REACTION! OH, YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER the great THELONIUS MONK! THANKS!

My Favorite Things is a song from the movie Sound of Music. Commercials also use the song during Christmas. "Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens..." is how it starts. The part you keep humming is "These are a few of my favorite things..." I'm sure you've heard it creep in your consciousness. :-) This version is a favorite though. Thanks for reacting!

GREETINGS. JOHN COLTRANE.....TRUE,UNBRIDLED, UNADULTERATED, PURE,SINCERE GENIUS. One of only a handful of MUSICIANS who changed music. A MASTER COMPOSER AND INSTRUMENTALIST. Even GUITARIST endeavour to emulate JOHN COLTRANE. His level of skill was so superior, he could play two notes at the same time......UNCANNY. THERE IS NO MUSICIAN WHETHER ALIVE OR DEAD WHO WILL NOT SITE JOHN COLTRANE AS AN INFLUENCE. RAKIM OF "ERIC B AND RAKIM" FAME USED COLTRANE'S STYLE OF PLAYING TO DEVELOPE HIS UNIQUE STYLE OF RAP......HIS CADENCE WAS ALL COLTRANE STYLED. EVERYTHING IS IN DIVINE ORDER.

My brother, say it again...!! Jazz music IS American classical music, invented by the people who were at the bottom of the social totem pole. In quite contrast to the roots of European classical music which was an elitist, bourgeois form of music that was only reserved for the high society. Jazz is America! The way bluegrass, rock & roll, and soul music is. Beautiful and talented black people gave America its soundtrack. 100%

I am pretty sure Trane got some flack for this cover song..."Sell Out! Going Pop on us?". First, it is a brilliant pop song by Rodgers and Hammerstein, but Trane transformed into an avant garde treasure. BTW, the background noise, from what I assume is your family, actually adds to the ambiance...It sounds like the clinking of dishes and glasses and random mummer of a smokey jazz night club.

No one like 'Trane. Taking such a simple and well known melody then using the solo to convey so much dynamic and harmonic meaning. All while moving away from modal thinking and moving toward a spiritual understanding of music. This and "Giant Steps" really changed improvisational thinking. Now that you're doing some popular but influential jazz, give a listen to Miles Davis and his first great quartet doing "So What" from Kind Of Blue.

A Jazz Classic!! Coltrane was amazing. This song has turned almost as many people on to jazz as Miles Davis-Kind of Blue. My favorite Coltrane though, is actually his wife Alice Coltrane. Check out her wonderful soul jazz on the harp! (No. not the harmonica, the actual harp) She mads some wonderful music with Pharoah Sanders and Joe Henderson on sax after her husbands passing.
