Newser-
Coltrane recorded the session with his classic quartet (Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison, and McCoy Tyner) at the Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey on March 6, 1963, per a press release, but it went unreleased for unknown reasons.
Jaunita Naima Coltrane, his first wife, stumbled on her personal copy of the recording and showed it to the label. Both Directions at Once includes two previously unknown originals, listed only as numbers, along with Coltrane’s famous “Impressions” and his first recording of “Nature Boy.” In the words of saxophone legend Sonny Rollins, “This is like finding a new room in the Great Pyramid.” The record is set to come out on June 29.
Here’s a track-
Just as amazing as the music is the visualization of the melody as it changes keys and relates to the key circles and circle of fifths. I would like to know more about that.
Cool
Jazz. pffft. As Austin Powers said, “It’s not my bag, baby.”
They just make it up as they go. I’ll take an extended rock jam or a baroque presto movement any day. Come to think of it, they are all similar in that respect.
Hmmmm.. Maybe that’s why they work…
I find it hard to dance to.
Bongo dig
If I don’t buy it I’m a racist and if I do buy it I’m a racist.
I don’t like Jazz so I’m not buying it.
I’m sure we’ll all be merrily whistling the melodies.
TRANE!
Jazz is an acquired taste. There’s a lot of theory involved. And it’s actually highly structured. If you start by listening only to what you enjoy and you listen to enough of it, you start appreciating more intellectual pieces. Like this one.
Nice. But it sounds like his reed is split.
TITS!
And for those of you who hate jazz…… why do you hate the only truly American Art form? It’s ours. We own this junky music.
And it is. Bebop was originated by after hours players who were trying to play stuff while high as fuk.
So it’s doubly American. yay!
There’s a few jazz artists I like. Very few. Dig the hell out of Sade. Jazz is not an American art form. This is.
