John Coltrane - Om ॐ
Full Album (29 min.)
John Coltrane Sextet - The Penthouse, Seattle, Washington, September 30, 1965
Big O has outtakes from Coltrane’s massive Live in Seattle double LP. Blammo!
Stewart Voegtlin wrote about the gig in Arthur Magazine a few years back: The show—130 minutes, professionally recorded, released later as Live in Seattle—came three months after the release of Coltrane’s monumental Ascension, two months before the leader’s penultimate farewell, Meditations. Standards and originals are played. Ponderous intros are atomized by ecstatic solos. Notes dissolve into noise. Noise dissolves into pure sound. Themes struggle within a framework so volatile it shares more likeness with a riot than music. Whether you choose to believe rumors the players gobbled up LSD before hitting the stage doesn’t change opinion turned fact: this quartet could summon chaos like no other. That night in Seattle, Coltrane & Co. ground away at reality and its tyranny of time until any semblance of form surrendered to the void.
Lineup: John Coltrane (ss, ts) Donald Garrett (cl, b) Pharoah Sanders (ts) McCoy Tyner (p) Jimmy Garrison (b) Elvin Jones (d)
John Coltrane - Out Of This World from Live In Seattle (1965) John Coltrane — tenor saxophone/soprano saxophone, Pharoah Sanders — tenor saxophone, McCoy Tyner — piano, Jimmy Garrison — double bass, Donald Garrett — bass clarinet/double bass, Elvin Jones — drums
I've always been mad about this record. Recorded at the Penthouse in Seattle, Washington in 1965 and first heard by me in a farmhouse in Auchterarder, Scotland in 1975.
It's the sound of a band coming apart at the seams whilst making transcendent music. Bing Crosby made the original version of this Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer song. It was pretty spooky when Bing sung it in the film of the same name - and then JC and the boys go and do this. There's some stuff on here that's just unreal.
