Nov 15, 2008 - :o blatant racism its like saying afro americans cant do some thing purely because there afro american. it is also patronising. u cant say just because some black people do something well all black people can lol. thats just silly.

Nov 15, 2008 - you don't need to degrade yourself to prove you aren't racist. Let your actions dictate who you are and do the courageous thing and let folks dislike you. Then you will be a little closer to truly letting love and acceptance actually cost you something. I believe you mean well. But seriously...

brionbee Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - According to a good friend,Trane is playing each note to MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech for this song. He wrote it directly after the church bombing in Alabama where those four innocent girls were killed. Now listen to it again in this light...

Nov 16, 2008 - One of the few sax players I like. I've always preferred trumpets for some reason, even though the two sound a lot alike.

Nov 16, 2008 - Epic.

Nov 17, 2008 - Coltrane still has a massive influence on tenor saxplayers all over the world. BUT: his sound is lousy. He did not have the muscial ear for intonation. This he compensated with innovation and technique. Too bad for him. He once stated about Stan Getz' wonderful sax sound "We would all play like Getz if we only could".

Nov 20, 2008 - words are not needed for this.. You can feel the different kinds of emotion throughout the music, it just speaks to you. The saying your actions speak louder than your words. It's true..

minor7b5natural9 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - they sound alike? are you stupid?

xXBR4D3NXx Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - They do, you moron. You have to pay close attention if you're listening to a song with both to know who's playing.

radiohead9 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - what album is this on?

bobgreen623 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - I love this, there's such a sense of tragedy and loss in the non-tempo first couple of minutes. For more 'interpretations' via music of MLK speeches I can heartily recommend Denys Baptiste's "Let Freedom Ring" album, which actually contains the lost chord. Twice

Nov 21, 2008 - this is such a sad song

LodoGrdzak Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Soul out the ass!

straneing Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Coltrane spent long hours, daily, on his intonation. His practice sessions, alone, focused on tonal quality, chords that included the piano range, creating different insights into chordal structures, writing/composing and rehearsing, at times, with his group. He said, as did McCoy Tyner in a recent interview I conducted with him, that the shows were most like rehearsals as he was constantly searching for "that sound."

straneing Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Beyond the technical limitations of the day, this video reveals Coltrane's and his legendary quartet's remarkable abilities to gel with each other; carefully listening, following where others may go. Coltrane, a deeply spiritual man, spoke from his soul on this following the Birmingham church bombing of four girls. Truly a fitting memorial.

ToroQ3000 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - There's a studio version of this on "Live At Birdland"

sclaskis Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - no hace falta ser un experto en jazz para alucinar con el talento y la maestria de John Coltrane,disfruta y relajate..o simplemente sientelo...

tchouah Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - a song about the situation of black people in the 60'. Don't forget "Alabama"...
