John Coltrane Quartet - On Green Dolphin Street - 1960

Back


John Coltrane plays "On Green Dolphin Street" in Dusseldorf, Germany, March 1960. This is ultra rare footage featuring Coltrane with the Miles Davis Quintet of the time, sans Miles. Wynton Kelly is on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums. The audio is out of sync, I'll have to try converting it to a different format and reuploading it some other time....hopefully the quality of the music will tide you over in the meantime.

That's a spectrograph... apparently it was a popular gimmick in those days.

It's this playing that started my up in jazz... since then I've been playing my sax and yet, now that i do my own jazz, i still come back to his music and listen to it. a lot of times it's for inspiration

There they are. It's unbelievable to see theses 4 together. Especially Wynton Kelly Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb! There are many videos of Coltrane and his place in the history is well documented. But this is one of the baddest trios of all time and there's hardly any video of them. Thanks 1,000,000 to whoever posted this.
