00:20:35,374 --> 00:20:37,608 in the basement, and Dizzy come 369 00:20:37,610 --> 00:20:40,310 go down in a break and he catches us, 370 00:20:40,312 --> 00:20:43,380 You know, and he fired us, 371 00:20:43,382 --> 00:20:45,649 but Trane begs for the way back 372 00:20:45,651 --> 00:20:49,153 and I-I don't. 373 00:20:49,155 --> 00:20:50,387 Coltrane begs. 374 00:20:50,389 --> 00:20:51,388 "No, please, I won't do it again. 375 00:20:51,390 --> 00:20:52,523 " Let me stay. 376 00:20:52,525 --> 00:20:53,724 I really like to play with you, "so on 377 00:20:53,726 --> 00:20:55,392 and so on, and it works. 378 00:20:55,394 --> 00:20:56,527 Dizziness let him stay, 379 00:20:56,529 --> 00:20:58,328 but it only lasts a few months. ; 51, Coltrane comes out again. 380 00:20:58,330 --> 00:21:02,332 381 00:21:06,739 --> 00:21:08,038 I live in obscurity 382 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,407 for a long time because I love playing what it is 383 00:21:10,409 --> 00:21:13,777 expected from me without trying to add something. 384 00:21:17,516 --> 00:21:19,583 During this time, musically, 385 00:21:19,585 --> 00:21:21,018 I am advanced very little in 386 00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:22,886 as I want. 387 00:21:22,888 --> 00:21:24,354 I haven't reached the point when 388 00:21:24,356 --> 00:21:27,457 I can be active steps myself. 389 00:21:27,459 --> 00:21:29,426 Actually, I don't think I achieved that 390 00:21:29,428 --> 00:21:32,396 pointing up after I have with Miles. 391 00:21:32,398 --> 00:21:34,398 That Miles who makes me want to be like that 392 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,466 musicians are much better. 393 00:21:36,468 --> 00:21:38,902 In 1955, I joined Mil regularly 394 00:21:38,904 --> 00:21:41,505 basic and working with it until 395 00:21:41,507 --> 00:21:44,608 mid-1957. 396 00:21:44,610 --> 00:21:46,543 Why did he choose me, I don't know. 397 00:21:46,545 --> 00:21:48,078 Maybe he saw something in my game 398 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,380 that he hopes to grow. 399 00:21:50,382 --> 00:21:52,015 I have this desire, which I think we are 400 00:21:52,017 --> 00:21:55,419 all must, be like I can, 401 00:21:55,421 --> 00:21:58,488 but there are so many conclusions of music 402 00:21:58,490 --> 00:22:01,992 I haven't arrived that I feel is not adequate. 403 00:22:16,709 --> 00:22:18,976 In the spring of 1957, 404 00:22:18,978 --> 00:22:20,410 Miles Davis hits the peak point 405 00:22:20,412 --> 00:22:23,046 with John Coltrane in his group. 406 00:22:23,048 --> 00:22:24,681 John Coltrane medicine habits are increasing 407 00:22:24,683 --> 00:22:26,483 on the way of music. 408 00:22:26,485 --> 00:22:27,718 For Miles, there is no way 409 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,820 goes through it. 410 00:22:29,822 --> 00:22:30,954 Fired by Miles 411 00:22:30,956 --> 00:22:32,422 really that surprise of his life, 412 00:22:32,424 --> 00:22:34,725 and no other shows like that 413 00:22:34,727 --> 00:22:36,393 Miles Davis show 414 00:22:36,395 --> 00:22:37,594 that is the top of the field, 415 00:22:37,596 --> 00:22:41,665 number one, and number two is that 416 00:22:41,667 --> 00:22:43,500 he rather calculates in this show 417 00:22:43,502 --> 00:22:45,769 security and stability and build 418 00:22:45,771 --> 00:22:48,272 a house and have marriage life. 419 00:22:50,442 --> 00:22:51,441 John Coltrane is 420 00:22:51,443 --> 00:22:53,610 meaningless only great musicians 421 00:22:53,612 --> 00:22:55,579 who have drug problems. 422 00:22:55,581 --> 00:22:57,447 It kills Charlie Parker at an early age, 423 00:22:57,449 --> 00:22:59,850 and many others suffer. 424 00:23:01,754 --> 00:23:03,520 When he looks into the abyss, 425 00:23:03,522 --> 00:23:08,392 he decides that he can't stay 426 00:23:08,394 --> 00:23:09,459 where he is. 427 00:23:09,461 --> 00:23:12,562 He will be fine down and die 428 00:23:12,564 --> 00:23:16,533 or rising and becoming even greater. 429 00:23:26,478 --> 00:23:28,612 He stops, do they say "cold turkey," 430 00:23:28,614 --> 00:23:30,047 which means he doesn't go to an institution, 431 00:23:30,049 --> 00:23:31,715 he doesn't have anything medical support. 432 00:23:31,717 --> 00:23:33,884 During the days, he will remain 433 00:23:33,886 --> 00:23:36,553 home and close the door. 434 00:23:46,432 --> 00:23:47,597 Only once do it 435 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:49,066 has been difficult for me, 436 00:23:49,068 --> 00:23:51,568 and that's when he pulled away 437 00:23:51,570 --> 00:23:54,037 and I can hear it. 438 00:23:54,039 --> 00:23:56,106 I can see Mommy carrying it 439 00:23:56,108 --> 00:23:57,808 to the bathroom because of him 440 00:23:57,810 --> 00:24:00,844 always throw up. 441 00:24:00,846 --> 00:24:03,680 He is doing cold turkey. 442 00:24:03,682 --> 00:24:05,515 That night really, really bad, 443 00:24:05,517 --> 00:24:07,651 and I became very scared, 444 00:24:07,653 --> 00:24:09,920 and I remember praying, 445 00:24:09,922 --> 00:24:15,158 say to myself, "Please, God, don't. 446 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,594 Don't take my father." 447 00:24:32,711 --> 00:24:34,444 And every night he 448 00:24:34,446 --> 00:24:39,616 seems like, um, it doesn't hurt. 449 00:24:50,529 --> 00:24:51,628 And we thank God, 450 00:24:51,630 --> 00:24:56,199 You know, that He allows John Coltrane 451 00:24:56,201 --> 00:24:58,869 to pass, you know, 452 00:24:58,871 --> 00:25:03,573 hell

00:25:20,590 So he cleans, 457 00:25:20,592 --> 00:25:23,894 and when he is cleaned, 458 00:25:23,896 --> 00:25:27,664 things start to unfold. 459 00:25:45,584 --> 00:25:48,151 During 1957, 460 00:25:48,153 --> 00:25:50,787 I experience, by God's grace, 461 00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:51,955 spiritual awakening, 462 00:25:51,957 --> 00:25:54,991 who leads me becomes richer, fuller, 463

monk's house, 503 00:27:30,222 --> 00:27:32,756 and he experiences a lot of things, 504 00:27:32,758 --> 00:27:36,092 Genius level take time to 505 00:27:36,094 --> 00:27:41,298 helps maintain your

00:27:49,205 He has confidence now, 510 00:27:49,207 --> 00:27:51,841 and that was in 1957 which he recorded 511 00:27:51,843 --> 00:27:55,211 his first album as a leader. 512 00:27:55,213 --> 00:27:56,880 Cover says, "Coltrane". 513 00:27:56,882 --> 00:27:57,981 You know, it's like once you are known 514 00:27:57,983 --> 00:27:59,149 only with your last name, 515 00:27:59,151 --> 00:28:00,717 You know you are getting bigger, 516 00:28:00,719 --> 00:28:01,785 and then said in the corner, 517 00:28:01,787 --> 00:28:04,120 said, "The NEW", in upper case, 518 00:28:04,122 --> 00:28:07,123 "Tenophone STAR Tenor." 519 00:28:07,125 --> 00:28:08,325 And the other thing is that he has 520 00:28:08,327 --> 00:28:09,326 chance to do it some of hers 521 00:28:09,328 --> 00:28:10,994 original music. 522 00:28:22,608 --> 00:28:24,474 The music sounds different. 523 00:28:24,476 --> 00:28:26,743 It feels like there is a new blood in it. 524 00:28:26,745 --> 00:28:28,378 The game, there is new blood 525 00:28:28,380 --> 00:28:29,446 the game. 526 00:28:31,383 --> 00:28:33,416 There are certain types 527 00:28:33,418 --> 00:28:34,884 almost carelessness. 528 00:28:46,098 --> 00:28:48,898 He pushes forward 529 00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:50,834 such that he doesn't even know 530 00:28:50,836 --> 00:28:54,070 what he pushes forward. 531 00:29:16,995 --> 00:29:18,428 After my teen is late, 532 00:29:18,430 --> 00:29:21,931 I question many things I have found in religion, 533 00:29:21,933 --> 00:29:23,967 but I never did anything about that. 534 00:29:23,969 --> 00:29:27,370 I am too busy doing it other things. 535 00:29:27,372 --> 00:29:28,605 Recently, I started finding out what 536 00:29:28,607 --> 00:29:30,940 people think when I look there 537 00:29:30,942 --> 00:29:33,510 so many religions and the like 538 00:29:33,512 --> 00:29:36,780 opposed to the next _ and so on. 539 00:29:36,782 --> 00:29:38,748 That messes up my head. 540 00:29:38,750 --> 00:29:40,517 I can't believe that one person 541 00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:42,652 can be true, because if he is right, 542 00:29:42,654 --> 00:29:45,055 other people have definitely wrong. 543 00:29:46,458 --> 00:29:47,590 We three, 544 00:29:47,592 --> 00:29:49,025 we don't go to church every week, 545 00:29:49,027 --> 00:29:54,698 but I know that parents believe in God, 546 00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:57,801 they have strong confidence in God. 547 00:29:57,803 --> 00:30:00,704 We have a Bible, we have a Quran. 548 00:30:00,706 --> 00:30:02,739 My father is looking for different 549 00:30:02,741 --> 00:30:06,910 Eastern Religion, Buddhism, Shinto. 550 00:30:06,912 --> 00:30:08,545 He never leaves 551 00:30:08,547 --> 00:30:10,513 specifically to say I am a Christian 552 00:30:10,515 --> 00:30:11,548 or I'm Muslim 553 00:30:11,550 --> 00:30:13,616 or I am Hindu or Buddhist. 554 00:30:13,618 --> 00:30:15,885 I think he learned all these _ religions 555 00:30:15,887 --> 00:30:18,254 and understand that There is something 556 00:30:18,256 --> 00:30:19,589 higher than that. 557 00:30:19,591 --> 00:30:20,657 There is something... that, 558 00:30:20,659 --> 00:30:22,225 that all of these religions are basically 559 00:30:22,227 --> 00:30:24,160 say that, you know, universal. 560 00:30:24,162 --> 00:30:25,662 I like to describe 561 00:30:25,664 --> 00:30:27,630 as a small picture, which is our world, 562 00:30:27,632 --> 00:30:30,500 and the big picture. 563 00:30:30,502 --> 00:30:34,003 John is the big picture. 564 00:30:34,005 --> 00:30:36,573 John is very celestial. 565 00:30:36,575 --> 00:30:38,875 Heaven means spiritual. 566 00:30:38,877 --> 00:30:40,877 He has a deep understanding, 567 00:30:40,879 --> 00:30:45,882 a deep feeling for the world is higher than 568 00:30:45,884 --> 00:30:47,851 this world. 569 00:30:47,853 --> 00:30:49,085 Coltrane is definitely 570 00:30:49,087 --> 00:30:51,588 someone who used to be was inspired by the concept of 571 00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:54,891 of the infinite and imagine how science 572 00:30:54,893 --> 00:30:58,595 and music and math all work with 573 00:30:58,597 --> 00:30:59,996 and there are such things 574 00:30:59,998 --> 00:31:03,533 universal truth, and be for Coltrane 575 00:31:03,535 --> 00:31:05,769 inspired by Albert Einstein, 576 00:31:05,771 --> 00:31:09,405 Who is a deep thinker, is not just about 577 00:31:09,407 --> 00:31:12,609 space travel and time and energy, 578 00:31:12,611 --> 00:31:15,545 but the biggest big question: 579 00:31:15,547 --> 00:31:16,679 Why are we here? 580 00:31:16,681 --> 00:31:18,448 What we suspect to do, 581 00:31:18,450 --> 00:31:20,784 and where should we take ourselves? 582 00:31:20,786 --> 00:31:22,685 Coltrane is really active 583 00:31:22,687 --> 00:31:23,620 same path. 584 00:31:45,644 --> 00:31:47,610 At the end of 1957, 585 00:31:47,612 --> 00:31:49,579 Coltrane returns to become the Miles band. 586 00:31:49,581 --> 00:31:53,149 The difference is, though, second task 587 00:31:53,151 --> 00:31:55,585 with Miles now Coltrane rather has 588 00:31:55,587 --> 00:31:57,654 sense who he is. 589 00:32:06,665 --> 00:32:08,965 One of the reasons is with Miles 590 00:32:08,967 --> 00:32:11,467 very productive for Coltrane is that 591 00:32:11,469 --> 00:32:13,036 Miles gives him plenty of space. 592 00:32:13,038 --> 00:32:16,172 Miles let it go solo - , at length, and, 593 00:32:16,174 --> 00:32:18,975 You know, he really isn't try to edit the Coltrane. 594 00:32:18,977 --> 00:32:20,243 He doesn't say, you know, 595 00:32:20,245 --> 00:32:21,477 "When you play with me, 596 00:32:21,479 --> 00:32:23,046 you have to play shorter solo than me." 597 00:32:24,616 --> 00:32:25,882 Almost always, Coltrane is played 598 00:32:25,884 --> 00:32:27,684 solo longer. 599 00:32:27,686 --> 00:32:29,686 There is a famous story about making Miles 600 00:32:29,688 --> 00:32:32,922 joke for Coltrane and say, uh, 601 00:32:32,924 --> 00:32:34,257 "Why did you play so long?" 602 00:32:34,259 --> 00:32:35,825 And the saying of Coltrane, "Well, I can't find it 603 00:32:35,827 --> 00:32:37,760 a good place to stop," 604 00:32:37,762 --> 00:32:39,529 and Miles said, "Well, you can 605 00:32:39,531 --> 00:32:40,997 take the horn out from your mouth." 606 00:32:46,504 --> 00:32:49,038 Miles is a strange man. 607 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,773 He doesn't talk a lot and he rarely 608 00:32:50,775 --> 00:32:52,575 discuss music. 609 00:32:52,577 --> 00:32:53,843 You always have that impression 610 00:32:53,845 --> 00:32:55,712 He is in a bad mood and he is not 611 00:32:55,714 --> 00:32:57,780 interested or what is influenced by 612 00:32:57,782 --> 00:32:59,716 other people do. 613 00:32:59,718 --> 00:33:00,950 This is very difficult situation like 614 00:33:00,952 --> 00:33:04,120 it is to know exactly what you have to do, 615 00:33:04,122 --> 00:33:05,889 and maybe that because of that 616 00:33:05,891 --> 00:33:08,658 I just started do what I want. 617 00:34:49,905 --> 00:34:52,339 We start. 618 00:34:52,341 --> 00:34:54,975 Wait. GOOD. 619 00:34:54,977 --> 00:34:56,143 Uh, Trane and me, 620 00:34:56,145 --> 00:34:57,844 Trane and I will play one, you know, 621 00:34:57,846 --> 00:35:00,213 together out. 622 00:35:00,215 --> 00:35:01,882 Do you know what I mean? Can you hear me? 623 00:35:01,884 --> 00:35:04,351 Yes. Let's go. 624 00:35:11,694 --> 00:35:12,859 Oh, "Kind of Blue" is 625 00:35:12,861 --> 00:35:15,095 one of the best notes ever made. 626 00:35:15,097 --> 00:35:17,764 That just feels amazing. 627 00:35:17,766 --> 00:35:21,568 You can never grow bored with that album, 628 00:35:21,570 --> 00:35:23,337 and across all boundaries. 629 00:35:23,339 --> 00:35:26,039 People who don't understand jazz get it. 630 00:35:26,041 --> 00:35:27,841 "Kind of Blue" so 631 00:35:27,843 --> 00:35:30,844 key to understanding where John Coltrane 632 00:35:30,846 --> 00:35:33,747 will enter the 1960s. 633 00:35:33,749 --> 00:35:35,882 That's really sort of from fusing to 634 00:35:35,884 --> 00:35:38,085 Coltrane explosion later. 635 00:35:39,488 --> 00:35:40,520 That's very interesting. 636 00:35:40,522 --> 00:35:41,655 You get the first session for 637 00:35:41,657 --> 00:35:43,557 "Kind of Blue" at the beginning & apos; 59. 638 00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:45,993 A few moments later, about one and a half months, 639 00:35:45,995 --> 00:35:47,894 You got a second session. 640 00:35:47,896 --> 00:35:49,863 Between, John Coltrane Jobs 641 00:35:49,865 --> 00:35:51,531 "Giant Steps." 642 00:36:00,843 --> 00:36:02,743 That's unprecedented 643 00:36:02,745 --> 00:36:06,546 that is something which forces us all 644 00:36:06,548 --> 00:36:09,516 to be questioned what we have done 645 00:36:09,518 --> 00:36:13,387 hear like that innovative. 646 00:36:17,159 --> 00:36:18,425 Each tune on 647 00:36:18,427 --> 00:36:20,560 "Giant Steps" is composed by Coltrane, 648 00:36:20,562 --> 00:36:24,031 so the album is great for him because 649 00:36:24,033 --> 00:36:25,465 it shows something that I don't think about 650 00:36:25,467 --> 00:36:27,634 people don't know yet, that's what he is 651 00:36:27,636 --> 00:36:30,904 very brilliant a composer when he is 652 00:36:30,906 --> 00:36:32,439 is a saxophone. 653 00:36:41,425 --> 00:36:43,625 Writing always becomes secondary 654 00:36:43,627 --> 00:36:45,427 things for me, but I found lately, 655 00:36:45,429 --> 00:36:48,163 I spend more and more time. 656 00:36:48,165 --> 00:36:51,099 I try to adjust, 657 00:36:51,101 --> 00:36:53,769 to look at yourself, and to nature 658 00:36:53,771 --> 00:36:55,170 and other sounds in music 659 00:36:55,172 --> 00:36:58,807 and interpret various things I feel there. 660 00:37:00,844 --> 00:37:02,377 The So Miles band is 661 00:37:02,379 --> 00:37:06,248 good environment so that Coltrane grows, 662 00:37:06,250 --> 00:37:07,949 and he grew so much that he 663 00:37:07,951 --> 00:37:09,685 grow too big for the band. 664 00:37:09,687 --> 00:37:11,186 I mean he grew out of it. 665 00:37:11,188 --> 00:37:13,588 He can't be in it anymore. 666 00:37:13,590 --> 00:37:15,457 He really said 667 00:37:15,459 --> 00:37:17,793 for me he will do it leave Miles Davis, 668 00:37:17,795 --> 00:37:19,561 he said, "I'll do it leave Miles because 669 00:37:19,563 --> 00:37:23,031 "what I play with that group 670 00:37:23,033 --> 00:37:25,567 sounds wrong, sounds wrong." 671 00:37:25,569 --> 00:37:28,470 It's like he's gone a suit of clothes 672 00:37:28,472 --> 00:37:31,373 that he doesn't go to be used again. 673 00:37:31,375 --> 00:37:32,941 And since then 674 00:37:32,943 --> 00:37:34,142 we start to enter my living room, 675 00:37:34,144 --> 00:37:36,078 he knows nothing will happen. 676 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,113 That just happened when it happened, 677 00:37:38,115 --> 00:37:41,416 but when that happens, I say it should be 678 00:37:41,418 --> 00:37:44,086 happens because he is really ready. 679 00:37:44,088 --> 00:37:45,954 He has his things. 680 00:37:45,956 --> 00:37:47,656 Yes, this should be. 681 00:38:17,572 --> 00:38:20,239 You know, some people play jazz, some people play reggae, 682 00:38:20,241 --> 00:38:21,474 some people play blues and, 683 00:38:21,476 --> 00:38:23,910 You know, he plays live. 684 00:39:14,729 --> 00:39:16,362 You can't describe it 685 00:39:16,364 --> 00:39:18,231 music with words. 686 00:39:18,233 --> 00:39:20,433 We can say, oh yes, this person is doing 687 00:39:20,435 --> 00:39:22,702 lots of technical things, wow, 688 00:39:22,704 --> 00:39:25,304 when we analyze it and wow, 689 00:39:25,306 --> 00:39:27,306 See this. 690 00:39:27,308 --> 00:39:30,476 Look at these changes and this harmonic, 691 00:39:30,478 --> 00:39:32,078 but not about that. 692 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,380 It's about hearing it. 693 00:39:45,326 --> 00:39:47,393 Her voice, you know, 694 00:39:47,395 --> 00:39:49,295 it makes people cry, like, "Oh, damn, 695 00:39:49,297 --> 00:39:50,696 " do you know what, what are these tears? 696 00:39:50,698 --> 00:39:51,898 "Why am I crying? 697 00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:53,332 W-what happened?" 698 00:39:53,334 --> 00:39:56,302 Your body does something you have 699 00:39:56,304 --> 00:39:58,337 the mind doesn't want to do it. 700 00:40:13,688 --> 00:40:16,856 His voice is amazing. 701 00:40:16,858 --> 00:40:20,393 This ranges through different emotions 702 00:40:20,395 --> 00:40:23,429 people in that way is very little 703 00:40:23,431 --> 00:40:26,299 people can do it, and as I say, 704 00:40:26,301 --> 00:40:29,635 he did it, uh, part of his 705 00:40:29,637 --> 00:40:33,639 inner spirit itself, but he too 706 00:40:33,641 --> 00:40:35,374 intellectually brilliant. 707 00:40:35,376 --> 00:40:38,344 That he wrote brilliant music, 708 00:40:38,346 --> 00:40:41,948 and he can take the standard 709 00:40:41,950 --> 00:40:45,451 and play it in the way that makes you 710 00:40:45,453 --> 00:40:46,586 think you heard it 711 00:40:46,588 --> 00:40:47,753 first time. 712 00:41:01,836 --> 00:41:03,502 Within a year after going 713 00:41:03,504 --> 00:41:06,739 Miles Davis for good , John Coltrane 714 00:41:06,741 --> 00:41:09,208 have extraordinary radio hits with this 715 00:41:09,210 --> 00:41:12,411 the song came from "the sound of music." 716 00:41:33,001 --> 00:41:34,967 So, here's Broadway, 717 00:41:34,969 --> 00:41:38,404 uh, melody, oh, and he just changed 718 00:41:38,406 --> 00:41:41,440 into this beautiful thing. 719 00:42:02,697 --> 00:42:04,030 "My Favorite Things" 720 00:42:04,032 --> 00:42:05,298 is that note I really play 721 00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:06,465 For my friends because I feel like 722 00:42:06,467 --> 00:42:07,533 they will like it. 723 00:42:07,535 --> 00:42:08,701 The reason for that music touches everyone 724 00:42:08,703 --> 00:42:10,469 what is it Intention of Coltrane, 725 00:42:10,471 --> 00:42:12,471 and he keeps a lot of everyone's music 726 00:42:12,473 --> 00:42:14,407 in that music, you know, and then that 727 00:42:14,409 --> 00:42:15,675 soprano-saxophone, type of nose like that 728 00:42:15,677 --> 00:42:17,476 really popular voice 729 00:42:17,478 --> 00:42:18,778 World. 730 00:42:18,780 --> 00:42:19,779 Coltrane has been working on it 731 00:42:19,781 --> 00:42:20,780 his whole life. 732 00:42:20,782 --> 00:42:22,415 How can I unite people 733 00:42:22,417 --> 00:42:23,549 and how can I bring these cultures 734 00:42:23,551 --> 00:42:25,985 and how can I bring this music together? 735 00:42:25,987 --> 00:42:28,187 And what allows it to bring it together 736 00:42:28,189 --> 00:42:29,989 is spiritual awareness. 737 00:43:24,524 --> 00:43:26,524 I have to keep experimenting. 738 00:43:26,526 --> 00:43:28,726 And I feel that I am just starting. 739 00:43:28,728 --> 00:43:29,894 I have part what I'm looking for 740 00:43:29,896 --> 00:43:32,630 because in my grasp, but not all. 741 00:43:32,632 --> 00:43:35,066 I like Eastern music, Africa, Spain, 742 00:43:35,068 --> 00:43:38,269 Scotland, India or China. 743 00:43:38,271 --> 00:43:40,104 That's universal music side 744 00:43:40,106 --> 00:43:43,708 which is interesting and interesting to me, 745 00:43:43,710 --> 00:43:46,544 and that's where I want to go. 746 00:43:46,546 --> 00:43:47,678 For Coltrane, 747 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,081 I think there are patterns doing 748 00:43:50,083 --> 00:43:51,515 something that is unexpected when 749 00:43:51,517 --> 00:43:52,717 You see what happened before, 750 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,619 so he will do it something that will happen 751 00:43:54,621 --> 00:43:56,487 a kind of journey himself so he can 752 00:43:56,489 --> 00:43:58,189 find out what to do next, 753 00:43:58,191 --> 00:44:00,625 and a sense of struggle and 754 00:44:00,627 --> 00:44:03,661 think about it the next problem 755 00:44:03,663 --> 00:44:06,597 push it and make it 756 00:44:06,599 --> 00:44:09,200 continues to be better and stronger 757 00:44:09,202 --> 00:44:11,202 and more interesting and challenging. 758 00:44:21,998 --> 00:44:23,864 There is an intensity 759 00:44:23,866 --> 00:44:24,932 that I never heard something like 760 00:44:24,934 --> 00:44:26,801 before him or after him. 761 00:44:26,803 --> 00:44:28,035 I always equate it to like to look for 762 00:44:28,037 --> 00:44:29,870 in the sun. 763 00:44:29,872 --> 00:44:30,971 Like hearing John Coltrane it's like 764 00:44:30,973 --> 00:44:35,576 brightest light You can hear. 765 00:44:35,578 --> 00:44:36,644 I mean the tone is, 766 00:44:36,646 --> 00:44:37,745 is very unique. 767 00:44:37,747 --> 00:44:38,913 I mean it's very striking. 768 00:44:38,915 --> 00:44:41,315 I mean nobody has that tone on, 769 00:44:41,317 --> 00:44:44,351 in the horn, uh, during that time. 770 00:44:44,353 --> 00:44:46,921 That becomes the standard. 771 00:44:57,166 -->

00:48:15,396 I don't know that Coltrane will 825 00:48:15,398 --> 00:48:18,366 being an icon like that, but I feel that 826 00:48:18,368 --> 00:48:21,435 I watched magic. 827 00:48:21,437 --> 00:48:23,204 That will be like Coltrane 828 00:48:23,206 --> 00:48:24,839 will say something to him 829 00:48:24,841 --> 00:48:26,908 tenor or soprano... 830 00:48:26,910 --> 00:48:29,977 Elvin will

00:49:49,173 I think it gives me courage to maybe- 838 00:49:49,175 --> 00:49:50,774 The work of the drummer to keep ticking, 839 00:49:50,776 --> 00:49:53,610 but then if you can expressive, 840 00:49:53,612 --> 00:49:55,612 there is an conversation with the singer 841 00:49:55,614 --> 00:49:58,615 or soloist, You can push it, 842 00:49:58,617 --> 00:50:01,518 and I watched that with Elvin and Coltrane, 843 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:02,920 and I encourage Jim Morrison 844 00:50:02,922 --> 00:50:06,523 because of those people. 845 00:50:06,525 --> 00:50:09,593 The greatest quartet in jazz

00:59:19,309 986 00:59:19,311 --> 00:59:20,610 987 00:59:22,781 --> 00:59:24,214 988 00:59:24,216 --> 00:59:27,250 the tenor's voice catches his ear, 989 00:59:27,252 --> 00:59:30,520 and, uh, at one point between them 990 00:59:30,522 --> 00:59:31,755 band break time, 991 00:59:31,757 --> 00:59:34,257 my father started following my mother 992 00:59:34,259 --> 00:59:36,660 around the club with its horns. 993 00:59:38,263 --> 00:59:41,264 So he is singing he through the club, 994 00:59:41,266 --> 00:59:42,399 and I think at that point, 995 00:59:42,401 --> 00:59:45,268 they start sitting and have a conversation. 996 00:59:47,372 --> 00:59:48,438 They speak, 997 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:49,940 they have a lot Same things 998 00:59:49,942 --> 00:59:51,508 when they speak. 999 00:59:52,778 --> 00:59:54,311 I only remember me 1000 00:59:54,313 --> 00:59:57,781 mom says that she is very, 1001 00:59:57,783 --> 01:00:00,517 only very good, friendly person, 1002 01:00:00,519 --> 01:00:02,586 a very good man, 1003 01:00:02,588 --> 01:00:05,188 and they hit it very well. 1004 01:00:17,235 --> 01:00:18,468 He is interested 1005 01:00:18,470 --> 01:00:19,569 in harp, 1006 01:00:19,571 --> 01:00:23,473 and he bought her a harp concert size. 1007 01:00:23,475 --> 01:00:27,243 Beautiful, painted in gold, 1008 01:00:27,245 --> 01:00:28,311 You know, like real, 1009 01:00:28,313 --> 01:00:30,280 what kind of orchestra will have. 1010 01:00:31,984 --> 01:00:33,383 I think it's true love - 1011 01:00:34,453 --> 01:00:36,386 When someone buys you a harp. 1012 01:00:42,694 --> 01:00:44,260 They are both gentle people, 1013 01:00:44,262 --> 01:00:47,230 I think perfectly is paired by the universe. 1014 01:00:53,338 --> 01:00:54,704 John Coltrane is used 1015 01:00:54,706 --> 01:00:57,273 to leave a small note, small poems that express 1016 01:00:57,275 --> 01:01:01,277 love for Alice around the house. 1017 01:01:01,279 --> 01:01:02,278 He will go for a gig, 1018 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:03,513 You know, he will come back 1019 01:01:03,515 --> 01:01:04,981 go home and he will find this 1020 01:01:04,983 --> 01:01:06,683 small message, 1021 01:01:06,685 --> 01:01:08,385 and I don't think it's the romance that has been abandoned 1022 01:01:08,387 --> 01:01:11,354 The relationship between John and Alice. 1023 01:01:18,730 --> 01:01:19,829 You know, 1024 01:01:19,831 --> 01:01:21,297 he was married before, 1025 01:01:21,299 --> 01:01:22,499 and for whatever reason, 1026 01:01:22,501 --> 01:01:25,368 Don't have it kids with Naima. 1027 01:01:26,505 --> 01:01:29,439 Obviously when he met my mother, 1028 01:01:29,441 --> 01:01:32,375 they, uh, no waste a lot of time. 1029 01:01:33,478 --> 01:01:35,378 In a very short span, 1030 01:01:35,380 --> 01:01:36,913 three sons were born. 1031 01:01:39,885 --> 01:01:41,818 He is the only child, and his father 1032 01:01:41,820 --> 01:01:44,421 is an only child, too, 1033 01:01:44,423 --> 01:01:45,655 so I think there might be- 1034 01:01:45,657 --> 01:01:48,291 that is something he wants to do it, 1035 01:01:48,293 --> 01:01:49,959 in his lifetime father's son, 1036 01:01:49,961 --> 01:01:51,227 and I think that, 1037 01:01:51,229 --> 01:01:52,495 I think that makes it Very happy. 1038 01:02:46,351 --> 01:02:47,550 John Coltrane has 1039 01:02:47,552 --> 01:02:50,854 set aside time, and he is alone 1040 01:02:50,856 --> 01:02:52,622 himself above the garage in his house 1041 01:02:52,624 --> 01:02:55,525 home on Dix Hills, Long Island, 1042 01:02:55,527 --> 01:03:00,764 to collect what he sees as a suite. 1043 01:03:00,766 --> 01:03:02,298 He doesn't know how this will go. 1044 01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:04,267 He has a loose melody, 1045 01:03:04,269 --> 01:03:06,236 some ideas. 1046 01:03:06,238 --> 01:03:08,505 Mrs. Coltrane tells stories about 1047 01:03:08,507 --> 01:03:09,672 he goes down and reaches a little 1048 01:03:09,674 --> 01:03:12,475 pieces of food now and again, 1049 01:03:12,477 --> 01:03:14,577 then disappear throughout the day. 1050 01:03:14,579 --> 01:03:17,413 This is new after John, Jr. born, 1051 01:03:17,415 --> 01:03:20,483 so he has four daughters one year old, 1052 01:03:20,485 --> 01:03:21,785 and a baby, 1053 01:03:21,787 --> 01:03:24,320 and a missing husband. 1054 01:03:24,322 --> 01:03:26,022 And he said he was above. 1055 01:03:26,024 --> 01:03:28,725 It's like two weeks he's there, 1056 01:03:28,727 --> 01:03:31,461 and he is always in touch these stories 1057 01:03:31,463 --> 01:03:34,063 to us, you know, in a, in a happy way, 1058 01:03:34,065 --> 01:03:36,432 what he did significant 1059 01:03:36,434 --> 01:03:37,967 and important and he understands 1060 01:03:37,969 --> 01:03:41,437 as if he was on a mission 1061 01:03:41,439 --> 01:03:43,873 and he is there to support it. 1062 01:03:45,410 --> 01:03:46,509 A few days later, 1063 01:03:46,511 --> 01:03:47,944 he comes down from the stairs, 1064 01:03:47,946 --> 01:03:49,479 and like that Mrs. Coltrane says, 1065 01:03:49,481 --> 01:03:51,514 it's like Moses coming 1066 01:03:51,516 --> 01:03:53,783 coming down from the mountain. 1067 01:03:53,785 --> 01:03:56,119 And once, this man is really 1068 01:03:56,121 --> 01:03:58,054 think and rethink 1069 01:03:58,056 --> 01:04:00,423 about music seems Very Satisfied 1070 01:04:00,425 --> 01:04:02,559 where he is with the project 1071 01:04:02,561 --> 01:04:05,061 and the words to Mrs. Coltrane is, 1072 01:04:05,063 --> 01:04:07,764 "This is my first time prepare everything. 1073 01:04:07,766 -->

musical titan who wants to give 1086 01:05:11,596 --> 01:05:13,463 certain messages to the world 1087 01:05:13,465 --> 01:05:14,597 in its own light 1088 01:05:14,599 --> 01:05:16,933 relationship with God. 1089 01:05:39,925 --> 01:05:41,057 "A Love Supreme" 1090 01:05:41,059 --> 01:05:42,625 is something that I think is very good 1091 01:05:42,627 --> 01:05:45,561 aspiring musicians for, found 1092 01:05:45,563 --> 01:05:48,798 one moment or one song 1093 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:49,999 or that one record, 1094 01:05:50,001 --> 01:05:51,601 one really good album 1095 01:05:51,603 -->

01:06:20,730 I don't even think he knows why. 1102 01:06:20,732 --> 01:06:22,699 Sometimes in life artist or person 1103 01:06:22,701 --> 01:06:23,766 who is looking for and practicing 1104 01:06:23,768 --> 01:06:25,768 and learn and do something, 1105 01:06:25,770 --> 01:06:28,604 they found things and they were there, 1106 01:06:28,606 --> 01:06:31,607 and, and, uh, it's there. 1107 01:06:41,619 --> 01:06:42,685 The second part 1108 01:06:42,687 --> 01:06:45,688 there is one that touches me. 1109 01:07:01,973 --> 01:07:06,209 That is what touches me, the melody. 1110 01:07:06,211

jazz groups, 1117 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,421 it speaks to the singularity 1118 01:07:51,423 --> 01:07:53,890 John Coltrane's vision. 1119 01:07:53,892 --> 01:07:55,091 I think I've played 1120

--> 01:30:12,941 He uses a beautiful word. 1337 01:30:12,943 --> 01:30:16,078 That's how he revealed it to me. 1338 01:30:22,953 --> 01:30:24,219 Everything blinks 1339 01:30:24,221 --> 01:30:28,957 through my mind we have done together, 1340 01:30:28,959 --> 01:30:30,626 and I enter my apartment, 1341 01:30:30,628 --> 01:30:33,595 close the door and cry. 1342 01:30:37,468 --> 01:30:41,103 Boy. 1343 01:30:41,105 --> 01:30:44,373 That's rude. 1344 01:30:44,375 --> 01:30:47,042 Phew. 1345 01:30:47,044 --> 01:30:50,279 That really makes me, 1346 01:30:50,281 --> 01:30:52,281 and you can see it get me now. 1347 01:30:54,118 --> 01:30:55,617 I'm sorry. 1348 01:31:20,144 --> 01:31:21,910 I was at a funeral. 1349 01:31:21,912 --> 01:31:24,379 They want me be the body bearer, 1350 01:31:24,381 --> 01:31:28,016 and me, man, but I can't do it. 1351 01:31:28,018 --> 01:31:34,089 I see him in a coffin 1352 01:31:34,091 --> 01:31:37,659 and the way is embalmed and all that. 1353 01:31:39,029 --> 01:31:44,099 Only thing I admit is his hand. 1354 01:31:50,307 --> 01:31:54,176 He has that finger becomes rather strange, 1355 01:31:54,178 --> 01:31:55,244 Because I already saw his hand. 1356 01:31:55,246 --> 01:31:57,112 We have been training together, 1357 01:31:57,114 --> 01:32:00,415 and that's the only thing that reminds 1358 01:32:00,417 --> 01:32:03,185 I am from Trane, you know, 1359 01:32:03,187 --> 01:32:05,053 so it's not him. 1360 01:32:05,055 --> 01:32:09,124 He has died to the next place. 1361 01:32:09,126 --> 01:32:12,394 The spirit is gone. 1362 01:32:19,136 --> 01:32:22,137 John is my best friend. 1363 01:32:22,139 --> 01:32:27,075 He is not like 99 percent of others. 1364 01:32:27,077 --> 01:32:29,511 He is in the real world. 1365 01:32:29,513 --> 01:32:31,113 I mean he has a family, 1366 01:32:31,115 --> 01:32:32,214 he has children, 1367 01:32:32,216 --> 01:32:34,216 but that is not where he is. 1368 01:32:34,218 --> 01:32:36,185 He is not in the real world. 1369 01:32:36,187 --> 01:32:39,288 He is somewhere else. 1370 01:32:39,290 --> 01:32:42,324 So he is, he's cool. 1371 01:32:42,326 --> 01:32:43,559 He's cool. 1372 01:32:43,561 --> 01:32:45,294 He's cool when he's here 1373 01:32:45,296 --> 01:32:47,262 and he is cool big picture. 1374 01:32:47,264 --> 01:32:49,164 He's cool. 1375 01:32:59,109 --> 01:33:00,676 Since Trane died, 1376 01:33:00,678 --> 01:33:03,378 the music has surpassed, 1377 01:33:03,380 --> 01:33:06,582 and that's more and better known, people- 1378 01:33:06,584 --> 01:33:07,583 That's an artistic type 1379 01:33:07,585 --> 01:33:09,718 achievement still exists. 1380 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:11,186 This is mythic because, 1381 01:33:11,188 --> 01:33:13,188 the sacrifice involved, 1382 01:33:13,190 --> 01:33:16,024 and that will still be mythic. 1383 01:33:16,026 --> 01:33:17,192 If you go anywhere 1384 01:33:17,194 --> 01:33:18,660 comprehensive type retrospective 1385 01:33:18,662 --> 01:33:19,828 art Picasso, 1386 01:33:19,830 --> 01:33:21,396 it fascinates what he does, 1387 01:33:21,398 --> 01:33:23,131 how he goes becomes very good 1388 01:33:23,133 --> 01:33:25,334 traditional painters to blue period, 1389 01:33:25,336 --> 01:33:28,136 abstract and then cubist work. 1390 01:33:28,138 --> 01:33:31,106 If you think about what John Coltrane does, 1391 01:33:31,108 --> 01:33:32,441 move through him various phases 1392 01:33:32,443 --> 01:33:34,209 music creativity, 1393 01:33:34,211 --> 01:33:36,111 basically he did it all Picasso 1394 01:33:36,113 --> 01:33:40,148 do about 50 years less time, 1395 01:33:40,150 --> 01:33:42,217 and I just think if you have that kind of thing 1396 01:33:42,219 --> 01:33:46,154 like music and pay attention to the craft, 1397 01:33:46,156 --> 01:33:48,156 You hear three or four notes and say, 1398 01:33:48,158 --> 01:33:51,293 This man has this horn, 1399 01:33:51,295 --> 01:33:52,928 have this music, 1400 01:33:52,930 --> 01:33:54,730 and at least when he plays, 1401 01:33:54,732 --> 01:33:56,765 is the master of his soul. 1402 01:33:58,168 --> 01:33:59,368 The spirit is still 1403 01:33:59,370 --> 01:34:00,936 very alive, 1404 01:34:00,938 --> 01:34:03,505 and he said, "I will use music 1405 01:34:03,507 --> 01:34:06,241 " to try to convince you to understand 1406 01:34:06,243 --> 01:34:09,611 "In time the highest love so that you 1407 01:34:09,613 --> 01:34:12,481 " don't remain just a captive of time. 1408 01:34:12,483 --> 01:34:13,982 "You will become a maker, 1409 01:34:13,984 --> 01:34:16,485 the creator of a better world." 1410 01:34:16,487 --> 01:34:19,554 That is what version of Coltrane he studied at Sunday school, 1411 01:34:19,556 --> 01:34:21,423 what was taught to him, that kingdom 1412 01:34:21,425 --> 01:34:23,258 God is in you, 1413 01:34:23,260 --> 01:34:24,960 1414 01:34:24,962 --> 01:34:27,195 and wherever you go, 1415 01:34:27,197 --> 01:34:29,698 You have to leave a small behind, 1416 01:34:29,700 --> 01:34:32,701 and he left heaven behind. 1417 01:34:34,405 --> 01:34:37,706 To be a musician, 1418 01:34:37,708 --> 01:34:39,341 it's really something. 1419 01:34:39,343 --> 01:34:42,511 This goes very, very deep. 1420 01:34:42,513 --> 01:34:45,647 My music is spiritual expression 1421 01:34:45,649 --> 01:34:47,249 from what I am. 1422 01:34:47,251 --> 01:34:51,520 My faith, I knowledge, my existence. 1423 01:34:51,522 --> 01:34:54,189 I know that there are evil forces. 1424 01:34:54,191 --> 01:34:55,524 I know that there is the power here 1425 01:34:55,526 --> 01:34:57,659 which brings suffering to others 1426 01:34:57,661 --> 01:34:59,728 and misery for the world, 1427 01:34:59,730 --> 01:35:02,764 but I want to be opposite power. 1428 01:35:02,766 --> 01:35:10,172 I want to be a really good force.
