Ralph Gleason enjoying the best music and musicians of the history, smoking a pipe. What a great time to be alive!

[@elizabethjarvis1783]

Such a tight group - each man was a genius. I've been listening to Coltrane for over 60 years. Never gets old. What a genius. Even my parrots prefer Coltrane and Miles Davis to any other music.

Them birds ain’t dumb , they know what they like. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@timdelaney3190]

Thanks for sharing this transcendent music from one of the greatest ever quartets of any genre. We are blessed to have not only the vinyl, but these TV recordings that allow us to appreciate their musicianship visually.

This is one of the best bands ever assembled, regardless of genre. These cats are smokin. RIP

As far as I’m concerned, they were Thee GREATEST Jazz quartet of all time. Jazz Casual was one those classic tv shows of a bygone era. This version of Alabama just tears your heart out!

[@paulrodden3773]

true that! soul breaking stuff. if u play Alabama, song of the underground railroad, and afro blue and are still alive; your a stronger man than me. shit Alabama just started as i was writing this, i can't i just can't.

John Coltrane, soprano and tenor saxophones McCoy Tyner, piano Jimmy Garrison, bass Elvin Jones, drums

[@saintbees2088]

I heard Mccoy say his greatest musical joy was listening to John Coltrane every night.

[@frankalfar]

Elvin Jones w his sense of time, unrivaled, unraveling, unknown and unheimlich.....

[@draftpants9983]

Coltrane broke music down in it's fundamental building blocks and built what I can only describe as simply masterful lil tunes that feel worldliness

[@downrodeo2112]

This is one of the greatest bass solos I've ever heard

[@johnfranklin3001]

Simply magnificent. So creative and so brilliantly performed. Music with the power to take your mind to a place outside of normal earthly limits, and where there are no boundaries. Totally addictive because it makes you feel like you have been set free.

[@jamesc.lockwood3810]

Unlike the other "Jazz Casual" programs, Coltrane let's his music do all the talking. Gleason holds no conversations with Coltrane, but he does with Gillespie, Basie, Brubeck, Cannonball etc. This is just the way Coltrane does it.

[@luizfelipeoiticicamachado3057]

On the soprano, on the tenor ... utmost inspiration. And so was the pianist McCoy Tinner, recently dead, at 81, in the dispair of 2020. Luiz Felipe, from Brasil

So very sad, the story behind Alabama. A respectful, loving tribute to the 4 little choir girls who were murdered in the church basement by racists.

[@willkearney5129]

Jimmy Garrison is just unreal... this should be on TV everyday. We've got MTV and other utter shite...

[@T.Ramby11]

Totally agree. One of the great jazz bassists and one of the best bass soloists. I love McCoy Tyner, one of my favorite piano players, but I always wished Coltrane would have done a trio album with him and Jimmy Garrison, with either Elvin Jones or Rashied Ali. Luckily we have tracks like "Chasin' the Trane" and "Up 'Gainst the Wall."

[@davissinclair4945]

Elvin Jones said he was an "Angel on earth." He didn't speak very much. He let his horn do the talking. Reggie Workman, Coltrane's other great bassist in his quintet years said he was "my grits and gravy, morning tea."

So was this on T.V. , man what has happend to us? There are some great modern jazz peeps who could get cool exposure on T.V. There was a really cool show couple of years ago The David Sanborn show that did some of that but now its all just KZbin and online, which is cool but the major nets should still do this too. Not trying to be old or something just wondering why were not opening our minds more, in the popular public venues such as T.V. This is of course not including PBS which does some .

[@RobCatterton]

interestingly, this was taped on PBS -- on KQED, San Francisco. It is rare when the heroes of any generation made it to broadcast TV in such a stretched out, luxurious form. This series, "Jazz Casual" was hosted by Ralph J. Geason, a jazz columnist. Just finding this for the first time -- I watched Earl "Fatha" Hines on the same show earlier and as a pianist it was eye-opening for me. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

[@sitarnut]

Frank..spot on..many reasons why this has happened to us. I remember in 1959 on our three channel B & W TV we could see within one week see Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck Quartet and Miles Davis !! Mostly on the original "Tonight" show.. hosted by massively intelligent and funny Steve Allen...Those days are gone. I suspect in each succeeding generation mediocrity increasingly rises to the top, whilst standards sink further to the bottom.

[@alansenzaki4148]

I remember those days!. Steve Allen had miles davis, a later tonight show had joe henderson...playboys penthouse had succesion of jazz greats even lesser known arttists like beverley kenney. I wish there was an enlightened producer that would bring it back.
