There aren't too many jazz pieces that are instantly recognizable among the general public, but this is definitely one of them. Coltrane was definitely separating himself from the rest of the jazz pack in the early-60s, it would take years for everybody else to catch up, and by then, Trane was navigating different universes.

So I need to correct some misinformation below. The studio version of this track doesn't have Eric Dolphy on flute, but numerous extant live recordings do. So Many Things alone has five (six versions total, but apparently one didn't feature Dolphy). Since all of Coltrane's recordings of this song share a page, and last.fm used to play several different versions of this back when it still had its own streaming service, there's a good chance StuartHaden1 was commenting on one of those. Check the credits for each individual recording if you're not certain who performed on it - lineups obviously varied substantially over the years. // Anyway, this song is quickly becoming one of my favourite things. McCoy Tyner is sublime on the studio version. This album and Giant Steps have helped Coltrane click with me in a big way. I'll need to check out live versions of this song next - guess I'll start with the Olatunji Concert version everyone is raving about.

just listened to the Olatunji Concert version and yeah, holy shit. It’s not even recognisable as the same song. I also immediately understand how Coltrane is a direct influence on Deathspell Omega now. But on first listen, I feel like I understand very little else. I like it, but I’m completely baffled. I’m definitely going to have to do a lot more listening to his later works. This weekend, I might go track down every live recording of this piece I can find.

All is vibration. At present there is a lot of noise in the world when it needs harmony,

Brahms was a genius. So full of intelligence, intellect, soul, sensitivity, empathy and passion. Johannes successfully combined the opposing polarities of the material and spiritual worlds in harmonious beauty.

In our eternal search for the truth JC gets closer than most. I mean, of course, John Coltrane. Only when the spiritual and material come together in perfect harmony will there be peace, health, happiness and balance. Communication is the weakest link with the human race. Trane transcends that weakness. All is vibration and time is an illusion. There are infinite dimensions. Humans have only scratched the surface of reality.
