John Coltrane - Nature Boy _ JMC

[@midiman46]

A fascinating version of Nature Boy with 2 Bass players, Jimmy Garrison and Art Davis. John Coltrane is here transcending the traditional key system and goes off exploring polytonalty & polymodality. When I first heard this back in 1970 or so, I felt transported to another universe of higher consciousness. Thank you and RIP John Coltrane!

John Coltrane's music can be broken into roughly 3 periods: Vertical (Sheets of Sound) Horizontal (Modal Jazz) Experimental (Free Jazz) Source: Jazz Piano Lessons

For me, there is nothing difficult to comprehend or appreciate about this wonderful music. Just open your ears and your heart and listen! Interestingly (and to some paradoxically), this period of John's career, in which he started to really stretch out, was also a time in which his playing became, for me, even more lyrical. To make a long story short, this is masterful and beautiful music from a master of the art.

VIProfessor Amen.

[@coltranesaxIV]

I feel like this version of Nature Boy is the perfect portrayal of the sadness in the nature boy's eyes and wisdom he has gained from such sadness. The intensity with his quartet never dies! This version is definitely one of my favorites of all time.

Gloria Ryann: I adore and admire You; for, your take on 'Trane's discourse of the tune is also mine.

The Gospel of John...

[@jabulaniharvey]

first heard this when i was ten...this jazz was hard to come by in newly-independent Zimbabwe,...still hard to come by...thanks for the upload and the memories...sheets of sound!

[@CheckMate657879]

John Coltrane is my very favorite jazz saxophonist-incomparable. I've loved John Coltrane since I was a senior in high school, and I've been out of high school for decades. "My Favorite Things" was my introduction to Trane, heard it on KJAZ broadcast from Alameda, CA in the SF Bay Area. He'll always be my favorite jazz saxophonist. In this rendition of Nature Boy, to me, it's circular; he sounds lost, as if he's trapped in a maze, desperately searching for the exit -- exhausted.

i mean even for st john coltrane this is unbelievably amazing

[@almajaguar]

This recording is huge. It's something that I've never experienced before, it gives this tune a WHOLE different meaning. Simply incredible.

[@DavidChristieCareerCafe]

There’s only ever going to be one Coltrane.

[@RipplingOphelia]

My favorite rendition of this song!

[@queperknuckle]

absolutely amazing. love having the violin and sax - especially at the end. other worldly...

[@zachjohnson637]

It's bass, not violin.

[@fabm6724]

Chills.

[@Gurci28]

Coltrane influenced such rock mavericks as Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix. Miles Davis said having him in his band was like hiring three saxophone players in one. Dec 19, 2001 Source: The Guardian

[@slybear525]

Beautiful version!! Waltzing an African 10/8 during the solo!! Very intense, prayer -like phrases from Coltrane!! Beautiful!!

[@kevinstewart3029]

Makes me tremble....The Gospel of John!

[@sutusmihaly]

..everytime..since a long time..instant goosebumps and enlightenment

[@hardyblues2194]

I never liked this period of Coltrane but this version of John Coltrane is just unforgettable!! terrific

[@philiplynch8420]

i've been listening to a lot of versions tonight and this really captures the feel

[@georgedoughly8682]

A beautiful version of Nature Boy! I love the Miles Davis version from his album called: “Blue Moods”. It features Charles Mingus, Elvin Jones, & Teddy Charles on the Vibes 😎

[@themarbleindex643]

that was REALLY REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@debash1234]

Johnny Hartman and Coltrane team up to do this one and it is blessed!

[@gregorygibbs9551]

coltranesaxIV says it so well below. The sadness of 'Nature Boy' led him to the simple wisdom of valuing loving and being loved. The song is based on a sharp contrast between its Apollonian message and its Dionysian background of alienation and loneliness. Coltrane, genius that he was, highlights both sides. I'm not a musician but if I were trying to be one, John Coltrane would be my hero [along with Chee-yun Kim and Honda Minako]

[@kevinstewart3029]

Prayer is often misunderstood ... by those who listen... but never by that for which it was intended ...

[@123must]

Powerful rendition ! A lot of thanks

[@booth231]

I've only know Nat King Cole's version of this song, but this is absolutely lovely.

[@kevinstewart3029]

Alice on piano? I saw her with Trane on his birthday 1966 in SF.

[@musictranscription]

I can get the notes just by ear

[@jodi183]

JImmy Garrison on bass? Elvin Jones on drums? McCoy Tyner on piano?

[@davechambers5642]

It's wonderful how the drums join Coltrane, after the out of tempo introduction, in time with the piano, that's in another feel to the bass rumbling below and the master just floating above it all; a delicate touch, hitting those notes so tunefully and with such a great intensity and love. A Natural man playing Nature Boy .

[@dgs1933]

Two basses, Garrison and Art Davis.

[@RMLLcrazy]

For me, it's hard to write when you're eargasming :C.

You are right,but you should get someone to help you write the comments in English.

Nat King Cole then George Benson.

[@runrabbit1158]

It sounds all over the place...off key

[@berendohan1992]

This sound you don't seem to like was made by coltrain. Is a sax master and the sound you hear is the sound he was going for...... Lost and distorted.

[@johnvalentine3456]

There are musical appreciation courses one can take...You should look into it. Have your mind expanded...Good Luck

[@johnvalentine3456]

@@berendohan1992 Coltrane. That's Coltrane, not Coltrain. He is not lost and distorted. He had a vision and was intent on realizing that vision. He himself stated that he was not always successful in what he was trying to attain, but search he must. He was a master, you got that right. But surely you can find better words than 'distorted' to describe the otherworldly sound, that only he was capable of creating, after his thousands upon thousands of hours of practice, study and total commitment. John Coltrane is the Einstein of the jazz. Try harder (like Coltrane did in his music) next time in your choice of words, OK?
