John Coltrane's Work Ethic - Jimmy Heath

Jimmy Heath and John Coltrane were young musicians caught in the magic of Bebop as played by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in the late 40s. This excerpt is from "Passing the Torch," a new documentary about Jazz mentors. To view on Amazon Prime: www.amazon.com/Passing-Torch-...

Some guy complaining about Coltrane playing? Some people don’t know a good thing when they hear it!

Music you get out of it what you put in! Big up the Masters! Rip John Coltrane !

This is important material. I would love to see some day Miles Davis working ethics film. Nowadays robots can practice better, than ppl. So, what do you practice is important.

WOW. Love the Coltrane story. That says a lot about him and Sonny Rollins. Thanks for sharing.

Great story teller. Thanks for posting

All Americans need to follow Coltrane's example.

[@abrahampalmer1153]

Indeed

[@brendaboykin3281]

ALL Americans? Youre at least 40 years too late. Baba Trane is Every Jazz musicians Daddy, across national borders. Let's simply be proud that an American(and specifically an AfricanAmerican )has had such a tremendous impact on creative music.

[@cavaleer]

Very true. I think there are ways to reinvigorate it, notably by bringing it on the One, the way James Brown did. To connect with the post 1970, James Brown ear, namely all music beginning on the 1 and not the traditional Jazz/Swing 2, the horns need to move to the 1.

[@chezambezi]

seems to be a really nice guy!! warm person. somehow, maybe the accent, reminds me of the actor Matthew Mcconaughey.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

He is a very nice man and a friend for nearly 40 years.

The great Jimmy Heath! He was a bad and cool drummer!

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Isn't it fair to affirm, musically, that the FOOTPRINTS left "on the sand of time "by Parker, 'Trane, Rollins and Stitt - yes, Stitt - were FONDLY and firmly "stood upon" by: Cannonball Adderley, Jackie McLean, Joe Farrell, Hank Mobley, Michael Brecker, Bob Berg, Joe Henderson, Sal Nestico ... Ernie Watts, Charles McPherson, Chris Potter, James Carter, Wayne Escoffery, Robert Anchipolovski, Stefono Bedenetti (sp.), Jerry Bergongzi, George Gorgone ... Melissa Aldana, Camille Thurman, Karolina Strassmeyer, Nicole Glover, Ce Ce Miller, Anat Cohen , Tia Fuller, Tineke Postma, Ada Rovatti, Carolyn Breuer ... among many others? ... lest we forget their names and the homage that they paid to the masters who had preceded them! Great interview 👍; excellent 👍 posting, TV JazzGuy.

[@cavaleer]

Well, a lot of them were standing in the same sand at the same time....haha, but yes, there was definitely continuity.

Jazz video guy, i have this old jazz cat testimonial in my head, he was pretty young, i think it was a interview, he went: in music it happens this funny thing in which you may see something and say, hey, this is beautiful and i gotta remember it for the next time i'll find it Does it ring some bell?

[@JazzVideoGuy]

sorry it doesn't

[@DemetraziusClay]

they work harder than anybody else! absolutely true, but we need to know which way to go. in jazz this thing is taken for granted, because there is so much music theory, masters, rules ..... so much modern music is made by guys who do a lot, but they are always at the same level of garbage.

[@abrahampalmer1153]

Indeed sadly we don't have no more miles Davis John Coltrane and charlie parker in music anymore everyone is either average or hot garbage.

[@LarryLenau]

Sonny Rollins and his nose 😂

[@gracie99999]

[@josefino72]

The Willie Mayes story is odd. I read that Trane was an avid baseball fan. If he was, he would definitely know who Willie Mayes is.

[@jamessteen8867]

I think sonny had a totally different sound , like a buzz thing didnt like it , train on the other hand, shit his sound was the best 😁!!!!!@@@@
