Podcasts about John Coltrane

Coltrane was one of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz, from his beautiful ballads, to his more spiritual music, and his role in the forefront of free jazz. September 23 marks 100 years since his birth. We speak with his son Ravi Coltrane, who is a highly regarded tenor saxophonist—the same instrument his father played. Growing up, he was just known as Ravi, "But as soon as I picked up the saxophone I was suddenly John Coltrane's son,” he tells Terry Gross. Ravi edited a new book of photographs of his father.Later we'll hear drummer Elvin Jones describe performing and recording with John Coltrane, in a 1998 interview from our archive.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

https://gofund.me/9ee7bcb33Son of D.C.Voice of the BassCorcoran Holt—bassist, composer, arranger, and educator—is a son of Washington, D.C. who began playing djembe and West African percussion at the age of four with the Wose Dance Company under Baba Aidoo Holmes and Mahiri Fadjimba Keita. At ten, he took up the upright bass with the D.C. Youth Orchestra Program, discovering a family connection to the instrument through his great-grandfather, a bassist who reportedly gave lessons to a young John Coltrane. While studying classical bass at DCYOP, Holt attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts (1996–2000), working under Carolyn Kellock, Davey Yarborough, the late Keter Betts, and Steve Novasel, and soon began performing widely on the D.C. jazz scene.In this episode we discuss his 2026 sophomore album, Freedom of Art, a deeply personal and expansive statement that explores themes of lineage, fatherhood, identity, community, and spiritual growth. Featuring an all-star ensemble, the project blends original compositions with intimate interludes that incorporate the voices of family, mentors, and lived experience. The album has received critical acclaim, including a 4-star review in DownBeat, and continues to resonate with audiences for its honesty, depth, and musical integrity.https://corcoranholt.com

Dawoud Bey talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Bey, who was born in 1953 in New York, makes photographs and film installations that address the experience of Black people in the US, from the horrors of slavery via racist violence and the Civil Rights era to intimate moments in contemporary life. He began his career as a photographer in the 1970s with the consistent aim to work as an artist rather than a photojournalist. While he was celebrated from the start for his depictions of people and communities, he has always had a particular sensitivity to place, and after several decades in which portraiture and street photography were dominant strains in his practice, his work over the past decade has focused mostly on landscape. But even when they are not physically present, those who have lived in and travelled through the places he depicts are as much part of the photographs' and films' subject as the environments captured by his camera. He has said of recent series, for instance, that he wants to capture the landscape as seen and felt by the enslaved people who moved through it, and a profound sense of empathy underpins all his output. “This notion of the radical Black imaginary,” he explains, “is the foundation or place that my work springs from.” He discusses how his background in jazz and how it has influenced his art-making, his term “subjective opticality” and what it tells us about the camera and the perspective of the photographer, and the importance of photographs as objects. He reflects on the early influence of Roy DeCarava and John Coltrane, who continue to impact his thinking today, his early fascination with Rembrandt, his work with David Hammons and friendship with Torkwase Dyson, how he has responded to Toni Morrison in his recent photographic series, and the ongoing influence of Michael Roemer, the film-maker with whom he studied. Plus, he gives insight into life in the studio and asks our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Dawoud Bey: Material Histories, Living Landscapes, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada, until 4 July 2027.

Mike is swamped in Spain (with homework, not water), so Pat does an intermediary episode that is .5 by name, .5 by nature. He takes a look at five box sets in three completely made up categories and when he's done you'll still have time to go out for a nice dinner. John Coltrane - THE COMPLETE 1961 VILLAGE VANGUARD RECORDINGS; Charles Mingus - THE COMPLETE 1970s STUDIO RECORDINGS; Miles Davis - MILES IN FRANCE 1963 & 1964: THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 8; Various Artists: NEWVELLE RECORDS SEASON FOUR: COMPLETE BOX SET; Various Artists: COMPLETE KEYNOTE COLLECTION. 

John Coltrane (born Sept 23, 1926) is easily one of a handful of the most important and influential musicians that jazz has produced. His harmonic and rhythmic innovations have influenced every generation of jazz musicians since he first rose to prominence with the bands of Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk. His own groups stretched the boundaries of modern jazz into free, extended improvisations.    Help sponsor St. Michael's Jazz Fest Donate to the Jazz Legends podcast Contact us at stmichaelsjazzfest@gmail.com

Shelley Hirsch is a formidable extended vocalist long on the global avant garde scene. She is unique in that she combines a riveting gymnastic orality, a very unique dadaistic meta-language with  warm, deep stories emerging from her life, most impressively remembering her early days growing up in East New York, Brooklyn. In spring 2002, my iMMERSE collaborator, bart plantenga, interviewed her for his book, Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo: The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World. For bart, Shelley's piece “Haiku Lingo” is proof of yodeling in the modern world, that the yodel is useful in the repertoire of avant garde vocalists. In musical terms, she is able to sing and articulate across the break between head and chest voice. She is NOT a yodeler in the folk sense but is among the finest multi-voiced extended vocalist heirs along with clever abstract vocalists like Cathy Berberian, Joan LaBarbara and Yma Sumac. Leon Thomas, the jazz singer who worked with Pharaoh Sanders and John Coltrane, brought his own abstract yodel to free jazz.  But what makes Shelley different is her fusing of dynamic coloratura with deep, often witty, storytelling that wends it's way through her periodic ululations. Her poetic tales are sometimes reminiscent of Laurie Anderson's stories while bringing much needed humor to the oft self-serious, rarefied world of avant garde music… Shelley and I have often crossed paths over the years. First time was in 2003, when Rhys Chatham and I curated the  New Sounds New York, 3D Morrow Sound Cube artists. Shelley was right there in full musical color with the chilling piece,  Please Stop Scratching that Gash! (2003).  Credits & samples interview: Shelley Hirsch & Charlie Morrow

Desde los inicios de la emisora, con Paco Montes y su "desde la santa casa de la radio", y sobre todo con la huella indeleble de Cifu, que ejerció su magisterio durante tantos años y que nos hubiera sin duda deleitado con sus comentarios sobre estos dos genios del jazz de los que estamos conmemorando el centenario de su nacimiento: Miles Davis y John Coltrane. Del saxofonista escuchamos grabaciones de 'My favorite things', 'Everytime we say goodbye' y 'But not for me' y del trompetista 'So what', 'Freddie Freeloader' y 'All blues'.Escuchar audio

This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation…  In part 2 of a two-part conversation on the Whiskey, Jazz, and Leadership podcast, host Galen Bingham continues with executive search entrepreneur Frank Clark, who explains that strong leaders capture hearts, minds, and imaginations, and that Encore Leadership Advisors stress-tests this “followership” through early interactions and back-channel references to avoid mismatched opportunities. Clark shares that what wasn't “in the brochure” of his current role was hearing many more “no's” in a competitive executive search market, which reinforced the need for relentlessness, immersion, and bringing value in every client interaction. The discussion connects entrepreneurship to John Coltrane's journey, including being misunderstood and operating from a calling, not just a career. Clark also describes his “invisible board of directors”—Reginald Lewis, John H. Johnson, and Bob Johnson—highlighting preparation, work ethic, belief, strategy, and team-building, and closes with advice on core values, mastery, and service.

Saxophonist / multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy (born June 20, 1928) and trumpeter Booker Little (born April 2, 1938) were frequent collaborators near the end of their all too brief careers. After establishing himself with the Chico Hamilton group, he went on to perform with John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, as well as his own groups and recordings with Oliver Nelson and George Russell. While often considered a member of the jazz avant-garde, he was just stretching the conventions of tonality and rhythm established by the beboppers in novel and unexpected ways. Trumpeter Little played with Max Roach, replacing the great Clifford Brown in that band. He passed away at the age of 23 of uremia, and Dolphy at 36 of complications of undiagnosed diabetes.

La poeta Ava Cívico, que se define como “apoetisa”, visita El Ojo Crítico para presentar Otra vez triste y sin comer, un poemario que explora con una escritura física, intensa e incómoda cuestiones como la identidad, el cuerpo, la salud mental y los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. En una conversación sobre la ternura, la rabia y el poder de poner palabras al dolor, la autora reflexiona sobre la escritura como espacio de resistencia y vulnerabilidad.Recordamos también a Robin Williams en el que habría sido su 75.º cumpleaños, repasando la trayectoria de uno de los actores más carismáticos y queridos del cine, protagonista de títulos como El club de los poetas muertos, La señora Doubtfire, Jumanji o El indomable Will Hunting.El programa viaja hasta Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, donde el fotógrafo estadounidense Spencer Tunick presenta Gran Spectrum, una nueva instalación de arte participativo basada en una composición humana a gran escala.Además, analizamos las novedades del Estatuto del Artista, que incorpora medidas como la remuneración de los ensayos y los periodos de promoción, la figura del coordinador de intimidad y una nueva regulación de la participación de menores en el ámbito artístico.El teatro nos lleva al Teatre Romea de Barcelona, donde regresa El retrato de Dorian Gray en una nueva adaptación escénica.En la sección de cómic, Javi Alonso recomienda Adorables criaturas, de Damián y Esteban Hernández (Norma Editorial), una historia que transforma la experiencia de la crianza en un relato fantástico para hablar de los miedos, el agotamiento y la empatía hacia la infancia.Y Carlos García Fernández en la sección Triangular nos lleva de viaje a París, New York o Nueva Delhi,  dónde encontraremos a protagonistas como Alice McLeod o John Coltrane.Escuchar audio

This episode of Deep Focus does not have a spoken introduction. It starts immediately after the previous episode ends.     The moment you invoke the name of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, the widow of John Coltrane, you open a door into other ways of understanding.  She was part of her husband's last working band, but after his death, and for the next 40 years, her music became suffused with her spiritual practice and mystical experiences.  Her conviction was so thorough that some listeners found it alienating, but others were compelled by it.  Although she is no longer with us, her music remains a deep well of discovery.   Pianist Vijay Iyer has explored her music richly.  What has he found in it? What influence has it had on him?  On his music and his life?  Let's listen with him to rare, live recordings of her and find out how and why her work is so fascinating.     Tune in this Monday (6/8) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  It will join over 450 promo-free episodes.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, sponsor-free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, 1972.  No publishing information available.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #VijayIyer #AliceColtrane  # AliceColtraneTuriyasangitananda #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman 

Saxophonist Isaiah Collier spent most of his lifetime playing his instrument religiously. He looked up to his idol John Coltrane so much that he performed several tribute concerts in his name. But the young jazz composer is ready to take on new creative challenges with his upcoming EP, JOY. What kind of new challenges? Well, he showed up at our studio without his saxophone, for one.  On this episode of Soundcheck, Collier plays our piano and sings his soulful new songs with his band: with Davis Whitfield on keys, Conway Campbell on bass, and Tim Regis on drums. Collier's compositions are deeply personal, but they carry the spirit of communal celebration, which becomes most apparent in these exuberant, dynamic, and spontaneous performances.

Have you ever wondered whether that quiet inner voice is genuine guidance... or simply your own hopes and fears talking?In this fascinating conversation, CJ sits down with spiritual teacher and author Gary Temple Bodley and spiritual medium Christy Levy to explore one of life's biggest questions: How do we recognize authentic guidance?Gary shares the remarkable story of how meditation led him into direct communication with a collective consciousness known as Joshua, eventually inspiring him to write four channeled books and launch the Joshua Live podcast. Christy describes her own journey into mediumship, automatic writing, and connecting with spirit guides and historical figures to help others discover greater clarity and purpose.Together they explore a radically different way of viewing reality: that your perspective creates your experience, and that shifting your perspective naturally changes your emotional state, your vibration, and ultimately your life. Along the way, they discuss limiting beliefs, why emotions can serve as guides rather than obstacles, and how curiosity can transform even life's most difficult experiences.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when CJ asks about living with chronic pain. Rather than asking, "Why is this happening to me?" Gary offers a different perspective, suggesting that pain can become a messenger rather than an enemy when we approach it with openness instead of resistance.Near the end of the interview, Christy offers CJ a spontaneous reading that brings forward the symbolic presence of Beethoven and John Coltrane. Their message moves beyond music into the creative process itself, exploring the relationship between listening, surrender, and following what is quietly calling us forward. In one particularly moving moment, CJ is invited to exchange the question, "Why is this happening?" for a far more empowering one:"Who am I becoming through this experience?"Whether you're curious about channeling, fascinated by consciousness, searching for deeper meaning in difficult experiences, or simply trying to trust your own inner wisdom, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into creativity, healing, perspective, and the possibility that guidance is always available to those willing to listen.Sometimes the answers we're searching for aren't found by thinking harder.Sometimes they arrive when we become quiet enough to hear them.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

His retreats are designed to help you reconnect with your Creative Intelligence and express your true artistic voice.

George Washington could have stayed president for a third term, yet in his famous Farewell Address, he wrote that he would “decline being considered." He penned that address by candlelight in 1796, and curator Lisa Kathleen Graddy explains why the brass stand that held those candles is a significant part of American history.Then, Ethel Payne was the first Black American woman to become an international news correspondent. A flowered, wide brim hat made her stand out in a room full of male reporters, and Smithsonian curator Jennifer Sieck shares how this hat represents Payne's legacy.And, few musicians have changed American music quite like John Coltrane did. He pushed jazz in new directions over his short career. Smithsonian curator Krystal Klingenberg talks about a tenor saxophone that Coltrane played in his final years.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

#music #milesdavis #mitchhampton #booklunch #booktube #jazztube #musiceducationMay 26 of this year of 2026 marked the Centennial of Miles Davis' birth. For this book lunch I will review and examine two books on jazz, making this the second time I have covered a nonfiction book on musical subject (Laurie Verchomin's The Big Love on Bill Evans being the other one). I purposely chose two rather different books as a meditation on the many different styles of covering real life subjects; Marc Meyers' Why Jazz Happened and James Kaplan's 3 Shades Of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool. This Book Lunch topic will be the first of two parts on the two books.More on this ongoing series, here:June Book Lunch:” 3 Shades Of Blue and Why Jazz Happened” Part 1May 26 of this year of 2026 marked the Centennial of Miles Davis' birth. For this book lunch I will review and examine two books on jazz, making this the second time I have covered a nonfiction book on musical subject (Laurie Verchomin's The Big Love on Bill Evans being the other one.)I purposely chose two rather different books as a meditation on the many different styles of covering real life subjects; Marc Meyers' Why Jazz Happened and James Kaplan's 3 Shades Of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool. While the Myer's book is a utilitarian history suffused with all sorts of important facts about jazz its own genre with its own story, Kaplan's book is an artful, poetic account of the same era. I will feature excerpts from both and reflect not only on the state of Jazz music but upon the state of prose in social and music hostly in general.Direct Link to our episode with the magnificent Laurie Verchomin and her book on Bill Evans:Please enjoy these supplemental, educational videos for this stream:   • Fine And Mellow   Billie Holiday With Cole...     • Original Dixieland Jass Band - Livery Stab...     • Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra - Mot...  

The moment you invoke the name of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, the widow of John Coltrane, you open a door into other ways of understanding.  She was part of her husband's last working band, but after his death, and for the next 40 years, her music became suffused with her spiritual practice and mystical experiences.  Her conviction was so thorough that some listeners found it alienating, but others were compelled by it.  Although she is no longer with us, her music remains a deep well of discovery.   Pianist Vijay Iyer has explored her music richly.  What has he found in it? What influence has it had on him?  On his music and his life?  Let's listen with him to rare, live recordings of her and find out how and why her work is so fascinating.     Tune in this Monday (6/8) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  It will join over 450 promo-free episodes.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, sponsor-free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, 1972.  No publishing information available.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #VijayIyer #AliceColtrane  # AliceColtraneTuriyasangitananda #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman   

John Kapusta's Self-Realization Nation: How Artists of the Creative Counterculture Made a New America (U California Press, 2026) is the story of an unexpected group of performing artists who led one of the most influential artistic movements in contemporary American history. After World War II, personal fulfillment emerged as a defining American cultural ideal. Self-realization--the quest to become our authentic selves--remains a powerful part of American culture and arts today. In Self-Realization Nation, John Kapusta provides a lively cultural history of how an overlooked movement of musicians, dancers, and actors championed the ideal of self-realization. These performers, who spanned many backgrounds, identities, genres, and artistic styles, became what he calls the creative counterculture. Artists as varied as Sonny Rollins, John Cage, Anna Halprin, Alice and John Coltrane, and Pauline Oliveros shared an approach to creativity focused on letting go of limiting beliefs and subverting oppressive social norms. Through colorful vignettes, Kapusta reveals how these artists made their art and how their approach spread beyond the performing arts to influence such fields as psychology, education, and wellness. Ultimately, these creative counterculturists came to define a new vision of an America where everyone was free to be themselves, together. Learn more about your ad choices.

Direction à présent le Maroc, pour parler d'un collectif d'artistes issus de différentes disciplines : le Syndicat national marocain du fun (MNSF) s'est donné pour objectif d'ouvrir de nouveaux espaces de fête à Casablanca. Pour répondre à un besoin de désintoxication numérique, de vraies rencontres et de partage, dans un cadre sûr et confortable, le collectif organise tout au long de l'année des sessions d'écoute musicale dans différents lieux de la capitale économique marocaine. Mais pour y participer, il faut adhérer au Syndicat du fun ! De notre correspondant à Casablanca, Malgré trois tampons du bureau de la division technique, dont un horodaté, la carte d'adhérent n'est pas encore tout à fait prête. Il faut encore passer le bureau des signatures, et obtenir l'équivalent du « laissez-passer A-38 » pour s'installer confortablement dans le jardin verdoyant du cinéma Ritz où se tient la session d'écoute du jour. Une lourdeur bureaucratique qui devient source d'amusement et de création, mais aussi une étape vers un monde où le téléphone portable est honni. Nabil Qerjij, l'un des fondateurs du Syndicat marocain national du fun. « Ces sessions, ça nous permet de revenir un peu à l'humain, à celui qui adore la musique. Par exemple, la prochaine session, on va la faire avec un éboueur qui collectionne les disques de Bollywood, parce que chacun de nous a une histoire avec un disque, soit un vinyle, soit quoi que ce soit. » Ce jour-là, c'est Adil Hanine, le batteur du mythique groupe de rock casaoui Hoba Hoba Spirit, qui est invité à faire écouter au public ses inspirations musicales. Un thé ou un café, et c'est parti pour une session qui offre un voyage éclectique entre John Coltrane et Jimi Hendrix en passant par les Beatles. Le tout, agrémenté d'anecdotes personnelles ou historiques. « Aujourd'hui ce qui est un peu dommage dans la scène mondiale, et aussi ici au Maroc, c'est qu'on est dans une monotonie d'événements, c'est-à-dire qu'un événement, c'est un DJ et des enceintes et du boom boom boom, il y a pas de musiques expérimentales, il y a pas des choses qui se passent la journée aussi… Il n'y a pas de lien social. Ici, les gens, ils discutent entre eux, ils se rencontrent. Nous, on prône l'idée de revenir à la base. La musique, c'est social », explique Nabil Qerjij. Objectif du syndicat : offrir la plus grande diversité de profils, d'âge et de goûts musicaux À la base de cette initiative, un collectif d'une dizaine d'artistes qui s'évertuent à proposer des évènements gratuits, organisés bénévolement. Sophia Alami, architecte, reçoit dans les ateliers de la médina, où se discutent et se préparent les évènements. Les changements urbanistiques rapides de la ville les ont poussés à agir. « Quand les espaces publics deviennent de moins en moins accessibles, quand les endroits mythiques de Casa commencent à fermer et qu'il n'y a rien pour les remplacer, et quand les lieux de sorties deviennent de plus en plus inaccessibles, de plus en plus chers, nous on a cherché à faire des événements qui ne nous coûtent pas trop chers pour qu'on puisse avoir un public qui vient gratuitement », développe Sophia Alami. Les sessions précédentes ont aussi bien mis à l'honneur le métal que la House de Détroit. Filmées avec des petites caméras numériques du début des années 2000, elles sont disponibles en ligne sur YouTube. L'objectif du syndicat est de continuer à offrir la plus grande diversité de profils, d'âge et de goûts musicaux possible.

El pasado 25 de mayo de este año de 2026, con 95 años de edad nos dejaba el saxofonista Sonny Rollins. Su increíble longevidad nos hizo creer que nunca se iría, que permanecería por siempre entre nosotros como testigo de excepción y protagonista estelar de lo que fue la gran era del jazz. Hoy rendimos en Radio Jazznoend un humilde pero sentido homenaje al que fue llamado con justicia el coloso del saxofón. Nuestro programa recorrerá las anécdotas de su carrera, sus conflictos vitales y sobre todo, su música. La música con la que se erigió como una leyenda de la historia del jazz, con la que exhibió una autoridad inapelable, un sonido contundente y rocoso, un virtuosismo al límite y un estilo original e irrepetible, aderezado con una imaginación improvisativa inagotable y un sentido del humor irónico y burlón. Y más allá de todo ello, hablaremos también de sus inseguridades, de sus exilios creativos, de su denodado esfuerzo para encontrar su propio camino entre las inspiraciones místicas de John Coltrane y las vanguardias libertarias de los sesenta. Un tormentoso proceso del que finalmente se alzó triunfante, porque conforme aquel jazz iconoclasta se consumía en su propio fuego hasta extinguirse, Rollins, siempre con un pie firmemente anclado en el jazz tradicional, consiguió sobrevivir a los temporales que barrieron aquella vanguardia, hasta ser reconocido como una figura totémica de la historia del jazz cuyo legado subsistirá para siempre.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth, we're excited to share Episode 1 from The Miles Davis Story, the latest series of the Legend podcast.Presented by acclaimed actor and longtime fan Clarke Peters (The Wire, Treme, Da 5 Bloods), the 5-part series explores the life and legacy of a visionary artist whose relentless pursuit of the "new" often scorched his own life and the lives of those around him.Across the series, Clarke charts Miles's ever-evolving artform, starting with this first great transformation of a legend - when the young Miles chose to step into the unknown, seize control of his own creative destiny, and begin his journey as a leader.This is episode one of the series, exploring how New York helped Davis discover a radical new sound.

Miles Davis and John Coltrane made some of the most beloved jazz recordings during a collaboration that began in the mid-1950's. Both artists would have celebrated their 100th birthdays this year. STLPR's Jeremy Goodwin has the story of a tribute concert in St. Louis this weekend.

Zijn leven en werk getuigen van een uitzonderlijke artistieke nieuwsgierigheid, discipline en een onuitputtelijke drang tot vernieuwing. Met zijn krachtige tenor-sound en improvisatietalent heeft hij generaties muzikanten geïnspireerd. Rollins groeide op in Harlem, een broedplaats van jazz en cultuur. Al op jonge leeftijd raakte hij gefascineerd door muziek, onder invloed van grootheden als Coleman Hawkins en Lester Young. In de jaren vijftig brak hij door met opnames als Saxophone Colossus (1956), waarop zijn virtuositeit en speelse improvisaties duidelijk hoorbaar zijn. Zijn composities, zoals “St. Thomas”, combineren Caribische invloeden met swing en laten zien hoe veelzijdig hij was. Wat Rollins bijzonder maakt, is niet alleen zijn technische beheersing, maar ook zijn filosofische benadering van muziek. Hij beschouwde jazz als een vorm van persoonlijke expressie en spirituele ontwikkeling. Dit blijkt onder meer uit zijn beroemde “bridge sabbatical” eind jaren vijftig, waarin hij zich tijdelijk terugtrok van het podium om intensief te oefenen op de Williamsburg Bridge in New York. Deze periode van zelfreflectie versterkte zijn geluid en zijn vertrouwen als artiest. In de jaren zestig en zeventig experimenteerde Rollins met nieuwe stijlen en invloeden, waaronder free jazz en wereldmuziek. Zijn open houding tegenover verandering hield zijn muziek fris en relevant. Albums als The Bridge (1962) markeren zijn terugkeer na stilte en tonen een rijpere, diepgaandere muzikale stem. Naast zijn muzikale prestaties staat Rollins bekend om zijn integriteit en toewijding. Hij sprak zich uit voor burgerrechten en bleef trouw aan zijn eigen artistieke visie, ongeacht commerciële druk. Deze onafhankelijkheid maakt hem tot een voorbeeld van creatieve vrijheid. Zijn carrière, die meer dan zes decennia omspant, leverde hem talloze onderscheidingen op, waaronder een Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Toch bleef hij bescheiden en gericht op groei. Zelfs op latere leeftijd benadrukte hij dat hij zichzelf nog steeds als leerling zag. Sonny Rollins' nalatenschap is er een van moed, discipline en liefde voor muziek. Zijn levensverhaal laat zien dat ware grootheid ligt in voortdurende ontwikkeling en het durven volgen van je eigen pad. Met zijn warme, expressieve klank en positieve energie blijft hij een bron van inspiratie voor muziekliefhebbers wereldwijd.

Jazz pianists Peter and Adam are listening through the recordings that defined his career and made him one of the most influential musicians in jazz history. From his earliest bebop tunes to Saxophone Colossus to A Night at the Village Vanguard, they trace the arc of a player who kept raising the bar on himself even when the rest of the world thought he'd already cleared it. Plus - they talk through the legendary Williamsburg Bridge sabbatical: two years of practicing up to 16 hours a day.------------------------------About You'll Hear It:In this popular music series, Adam and Peter break down the greatest albums of all time.

Miles Davis's Kind of Blue is one of the greatest albums of all time - possibly THE greatest. But it's not perfect. In this special episode of You'll Hear It, jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness break down this classic record, track-by-track, to uncover why it has become so legendary. They dig into what's really going on in the music during this album's best moments: Miles's trumpet solo on "So What", Wynton Kelly's piano solo on "Freddie Freeloader", John Coltrane's entrance on "Blue in Green".Plus - we learn more about what Miles was doing in his early years, his break from bebop, what he thought of Bill Evans's approach, and the production and engineering techniques that give Kind of Blue its unique sound.Miles Davis was born just outside of St. Louis 100 years ago this week. To celebrate his centennial birthday, Adam and Peter filmed this episode in front of a live audience at The Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis, MO.Chapters Legend: 

Kirk returns to Kind of Blue, taking a closer look at two more tunes off of the 1959 jazz classic. First, he digs into the modified 12-bar blues "Freddie Freeloader," with a focus on Wynton Kelly's much-emulated opening piano solo. He then compares and contrasts how John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley approached the closing track, "Flamenco Sketches" on tenor and alto sax, respectively.

Cookin', Relaxin', Workin', and Steamin' capture Miles Davis on one of music history's most remarkable upswings. He had recently become clean after a years-long heroin addiction that led to his exclusion from major record labels and clubs. And now, in 1956, he had a deal with Columbia - the Cadillac of record labels - and a band he loved: Red Garland on piano, Philly Joe Jones on drums, Paul Chambers on bass and John Coltrane playing the sax. In this episode of You'll Hear It, jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness go through each album. They discuss the outsized influence of Ahmad Jamal, Red Garland's Red spread technique, the power of Miles's chatter on Relaxin' and whether this is the greatest rhythm section in the history of recorded music. Whether this is your first introduction to Miles Davis, or you've been listening to these albums for years, you'll walk away from this episode with a new understanding of, and appreciation for, Miles and his first great quintet. ------------------------------Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs: https://openstudiojazz.com/yhi------------------------------Some Day My Prince Will Come: https://youtu.be/a_Ygq74SjvQBirth of the Cool: https://youtu.be/eEl9-z6G2tU My Funny Valentine: https://youtu.be/-9mMbZMtyGs -------------------------------About You'll Hear It:In this popular music series, Adam and Peter break down the greatest albums of all time.
