Remembering the great John Coltrane who was born this week in 1926. One of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes and was at the forefront of the free jazz movement.
His style encompassed the modal jazz first explored with Miles Davis, the complex chord structures of his own compositions, and ultimately the extremes of timbre, dynamics, and register associated with free jazz. Coltrane’s total mastery of the tenor and soprano saxophones, the rich harmonic density of his compositions, and his clear projection of emotion enabled him to reconcile technical virtuosity with an often spiritual profundity.
Here, he is performing “My Favorite Things” with McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass and Elvin Jones on drums live in Belgium, 1965.
