This whole project was conceived as a way to celebrate the birthday of John Coltrane. This grand artist would have been 88 today, as he was born on 23-September-1926, in Hamlet, NC. If you don’t know, the song title of “Chasin’ the Trane” is compelling for all of us modern saxophone players: John Coltrane’s saxophone soloing is the pinnacle of saxophone performance. All of us are chasing after him! What makes him the best? Here is my list: 1.

As well, such as 'Psalm' (1964, A Love Supreme), 'After the Rain' (1963. He also includes a transcription of the tabla part, along.

Anyone can hear how emotionally/spiritually intense this music is 2. The most beautiful tone 3. Technical mastery, in terms of both orthodox execution and innovative extended techniques 4.

Whether it’s his mastery of bebop, sheets of sound, Coltrane changes, the magical middle period, the suites, and his exploration of avant-garde stylings, JC was always pushing the envelope 5. Gravitas: Coltrane played with the best (Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, etc.) and always elevated each recording Why am I publishing this particular solo? Because it’s a rare version of a blues. One of my favorite Coltrane recordings is called “Live at the Village Vanguard,” and “Chasin’ the Trane” is a long blues that throws down! Afro Blue Impressions is a series of bootlegged recordings from around the same era. Disclaimer: there are a few typos in here. Download: Download.

It’s a fast blues and clearly Duke Ellington is not playing in a bebop style. Throughout the entire album, the rhythm sections are varied, and this one features Trane’s bass/drum duo of Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones. The mixture of styles is compelling. This is definitely not sheets of sound. It is also not bebop, although there are certainly elements of bebop in Trane’s playing.

This is squarely in the middle period of Coltrane’s career, a few key elements are: • Use of unusual chromatic substitutions • Heavy use of pentatonic scales • Alternate fingerings • Lots of triads and wide intervals • The saxophone tone seems on the edge of “overblowing,” with a powerful overall volume There are actually two solos here, the first one is from:47-2:50, measures 1-133. The second is shorter, and occurs from 3:32-4:07, when the recapitulation occurs. Download Solo: Download Solo. Similar to “Bye-Ya” and “Someday My Prince Will Come,” this is a solo solidly in the middle period of John Coltrane’s illustrious career, and features another key element to understanding his style: so-called “Coltrane changes.” As the aforementioned “sheets of sound” period is an incredible exploration of the harmonic possibilities of the saxophone, this use of a novel chord substitution is another innovation. “Coltrane changes” are roughly bVI-VII7-III-V7-I (two chords per bar). The most well-known song to use them is “Giant Steps.” In this solo, CM-Eb7-AbM-B7-EM-G7-Dm-G7 (transposed to Bb) is substituted over the beginning G7, and similar phrases are used when there are 4 bars of a dominant chord.

Why are these there? Because they sound great! In brief, he was playing with novel sounds that a composer named Olivier Messiaen notably used: the mode of limited transposition using C D# E G Ab B. This could be thought of as three triads a major third apart. Practically, it is just a way of guaranteeing you will sound “out,” a term for playing wrong notes on purpose. It can sound awesome! At the end of the sheet you’ll notice some Cannonball Adderley passages.

I will have more to say about this great artist in later installments. Also, a brief note on the song. “Limehouse Blues” is an old-fashioned song, from the 20’s, and was played by artists like Sidney Bechet back in the day. This version is a late 50’s very fast version of it. It also features long sections of IV7 and II7, which are relatively unusual places for an American song. Recurring phrases: Measure #22: a Bm9 arpeggio that is played either ascending or descending Measure #23: a nice lick on E7 Many implications of Coltrane changes Download: Posted in and tagged, on.

For the second solo in this series, I have published the sheet music to John Coltrane’s solo from “Someday My Prince Will Come” [SMPWC]. This is a musical situation where you can hear the tumult of the 60’s impose itself on the very last remnants of Eisenhower’s 50’s. The whole album, a Miles Davis classic, is generally subdued, a 5-star classic. Despite its neo-conservatism, it deserves all its popularity for the excellence of playing. It’s swinging, beautiful, sonorous, despite being stylistically regressive. Within the next ten years, Miles Davis would make two huge innovative impacts with his mid-60’s quintet and the electric stylings of his 1967-1975 period.
