Jul 26, 2008 - When I first heard 'Trane', I was completley blown away. His tone stood out for me. Even now, in the year 2007, I've heard no one (exception Michael Brecker), that comes close to his tone or playing. I sincerely believe that no one will catch up to what Coltrane did with the saxophone. He belong in the same league as those great masters like Stravinsky, Beethoven, Shostakovitch, Monet, Michelangelo....just to name a few. LONG LIVE THE MUSIC AND MEMORY OF JOHN W. COLTRANE.

Jul 26, 2008 - Duke Ellington might have summed up Coltrane as best as we can in words, "John Coltrane was a beautiful cat."

Jul 26, 2008 - Coltrane was always focused on his tone. Just "pure sound". Said he used to spend 1 hr on each element of the basics as a practice routine. 1hr of whole note long tones, 1hr of half note long tones and etc....throughout the range of the instrument.

stiltonchees Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Wow that explains a lot. But it must be pretty boring to do, I could not possibly spend that much time doing long tones, Especially since I would have to do it on both the sax and the clarinet, and I'm picking up the flute too, that would be six hours of practice, if I added scales and etudes... What about the basics like eating and sleeping? No wonder nobody can mach his tone.

stiltonchees Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - *LoL* I like that.

Jul 26, 2008 - Um.....Why?

Jul 26, 2008 - thank you for posting this! I hadn't seen it. you are a friend to us all!!!!!!

SubToneBeats Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - HA yea.But this is the results of years of concentrated efforts. The point where talent becomes GENIUS and genius elevates higher to complete assimilation into emotion. As we know from the Free Jazz period of Trane.. Interstellar Space he proved that you do not even need harmonic structure to guide the expression. One of my favorite cuts from that album is Saturn.

jameslanni Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - For me, his sound is the most powerful and the most beautiful and the most truthful of all human expressions. All who open themselves to the sound ARE Coltrane.

arroyo284 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - probably because Kevin Federline doesn't do it nearly as well?

Jul 26, 2008 - John Coltrane's..."Naima" truly a masterpiece.I.Massey-Chambers

realtrance Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - John Coltrane is probably the greatest musician of the 20th century. And this is one of his greatest pieces, and an amazing live performance of it. Watch, and listen. They don't come like this any more.

dantean Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - My Mount Rushmore (not necessarily in order, though probably close):Louis ArmstrongCharlie ParkerJohn ColtraneMiles DavisJimi HendrixJames BrownThese six exerted more influence on contemporaries and succeeding musicians (regardless of instrument) than probably every other 20th century musician put together ('little hyperbole for ya!). Not that they were the only great ones--that list would fill a book--only that they changed music more than anyone has since. There, I said it!

fissure226 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i would have to say that Duke Elington HAS to be on that list or its no good
