oscar peterson & john coltrane, the great sound of two eras, so diverse and so joint at the same time; just feel lucky to be able see these two masters play together and feel the amazing magic of jazz

I like the way Getz and Coltrane smiled at each other right before they started to play. With this much talent in one place, you know it is going to be special.

[@goddessgraceful1618]

That was a superb exchange of glances. May they all Rest in Peace. Jimmy Cobb, just left us last Sunday 24th May. He's joined his Jazz buddies on the other side, where they will continue jamming. Ain't we fortunate, to be enjoying their legacy. RIP Jimmy Cobb🌹🙏🌹

[@crieverytim]

What a foolish thing to say. And the arrogance to be rude about it. People compare things constantly. Certainly within jazz and certainly when they are standing right next to one another, taking turns trading fours. Humans crave hierarchy. And on top of that, Horn players certainly do compete and jazz players will play to one up one another or push things further. Not to say that's happening here (John said something like it they could, every player would play like Stan). But to dismiss someone and arrogantly say they don't know 'NOTHING ABOUT JAZZ'. I'm afraid it's you who knows little about jazz and even less about human nature.

Man, I just love the transition from Coltrane's solo to Getz's. Not only because both solos are total opposites from each other (both in style, sound and tone), but also because Coltrane's last notes perfectly lead into Getz's first notes. It almost seems like the two of them had a telepathic connection, and it is just one big solo which was created out of their collective consciousness. They should have performed together more often *sigh*.

My favorite part of the video is them playing together in the head and the tenor solos. When they play together, you get Stan Getz melodic softness in his playing and tone under Coltranes bold hard playing to create a weird mixture that is so enjoyable. When they solo, you get a great contrast. Coltrane starts off with his signature stuff, the tone in his improv, fast playing, extension of range, and might I add his squeaks haha. Then you get Getz, who comes in much quieter with his soft tone, whose more rhythm centric with a lot of licks that repeat to grab the listeners attention.

[@godisbollocks]

Start when you're very young, preferably around 5 years old, practice at least an hour every day, increasing to 2-3 hours or more as you reach your teens. Transcribe the masters and mimic them as best as you can in order to learn the vocabulary of jazz improvisation. One must have the ability to employ a deep concentration when playing - it's necessary to be able to recognize when you are playing ever so slightly out of time, and know how to correct this. Listen to jazz music in your spare time. A lot. And really *listen* to it. Focus your attention with all your might. Spend about 30,000 hours utilizing the information presented above and with a bit of luck you might be in the ballpark of the world class jazz musicians.
